Not fitting in with a friend group can feel lonely and isolating. Maybe you have different interests, values, or personalities. Maybe the group has inside jokes you don’t get, or you feel like you’re always on the outside. This doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you – it means this particular group isn’t your right fit. The right friends will make you feel welcome and valued.
What can help:
What to know
- Trust your feelings – if you don’t feel welcome, you’re probably right
- Look for other groups or individuals to connect with
- Know that finding your people takes time
- You don’t have to force yourself into spaces where you don’t belong
Not fitting in here means you fit in somewhere else better!
