I'm a short, chubby, asian dude with a stutter, send help pls I haven't been doing well socially, been in college for about 3 years now, and I haven't made any "friends". I've met people who pretend to be my friends, but I'm pretty sure they're just kinda taking pity on me. I know you're probably like "That's not true, they really are your friends, it's all just in your head" or something, but I know this for a fact, cause they haven't invited me to any events, and they've constantly rejected my invites to events. I'm also an international student here in Canada, and I feel like it's kinda harder to socialise as an international student, cause I feel like there's a stigma associated with being an international student. I'd just like advice on how you guys socialise and make friends. If you could also be very specific and tell me how exactly you met your friends, what were the first words/phrases you said, etc. I'd greatly appreciate it
