Oh BTW, sorry to double post, but if I can shed some positives on this:

When I found myself in a situation as yours when I felt isolated, it was a time for me to grow and be independent.

There was a time where I was so dependent amongst my peers, there was a time where I was so dependent on their opinions, and how they perceive me, and how much, my opinions, my actions, my identity was based on what others expect (or want) me to be.


My time in isolation, I had learned to develop my own identity that was true to myself; Without any influences of outside parties for fear of disappointing (or losing) their acquaintanceship. I became more confident about my own thoughts or opinions as I no longer needed anyone's affirmation that my thoughts meet the status quo.

In time, people eventually gravitated to me and my social circle grew because their persona and interest was parrellel to mine. It wasn't growing because I was making mine parrallel to others for the sake of a little acquaintanceship. In the end of it all, you should become a better person and in better more suitable company. Although it just sucks that the process of growing can be painful at times.
