I've been a weird, socially challenged, underachieving loser since forever and now at 25 I'm starting to get really fed up of this pattern. Is there any way to break it?
I tried to when I was 24. Failed miserably cause it was weird talking to people and realize I had no common experiences and they found it odd I had no circle of friends. I'm 27 now and worse off, only hope I have is moving somewhere new where it won't look as strange cause I'm new in town. I hope that works for me.
Try it anyway tho. Go out. Do stuff. Bars, clubs, groups whatever. I came close but in the end I just gave up cause after a year of trying I had nothing to show for it. You might get lucky and meet some people.
I feel like we're just infants in adult's bodies OP. If we were to start trying to get better, it wouldn't take any real effect well into our 30s if we're lucky. For me, it feels hopeless.
"Oh well" is better than, "what if?"

This is very relatable. There have been a few times when I felt I was about to fit in for good and then people started making questions and I realised they were on to me.

Except trying and failing often produces much worse feelings than "oh well". If you're already in a bad position failure can knock you even lower.
