Tips on making friends irl? I'm a misfit at school, nobody talks to me, I'm in a school of homophobic religious kids, who have everything against me. They call me the "Depressed kid" because I don't talk to anyone, and only wear baggy hoodies because I'm dysphoric about my gender. I genuinely need help, nobody wants to be my friend, and it's taking a toll on my mental health. I'd walk up to someone and ask to be friends, but I don't have the confidence.
