,

people do not like me.

it's funny how my parents cannot grasp this concept.

The evidence is all here.

Nobody texts me.

Nobody talks on group chats UNLESS they are so bored and are procrastinating on homework. It's summer, so I know that people will not care.

My parents tell me to "just reach out." Well why me? Why can't they reach out? How come whenever I'm lonely, It's me?

I am too scared to start a conversation. And besides, friendship is a two-way thing. I shouldn't be the only one starting conversations. They shouldn't either.

But the thing is, NO ONE starts conversations and it is just this silent loop. I don't know why, or even if, these people dislike me.

I know they have other things to think about. Some people may have camps, or trips, or even summer school. I have things to do, too. But everyone has some freetime. There will be some time where you aren't doing anything. But I doubt that I'll even cross anyone's mind this summer.

My parents keep assuring me that people are my friends and that they care about me.

I feel that if someone truly cared about me, then they would talk to me at least semi-often, right?

I don't know at this point.
