Well atleast you have a good enough perisnaliity and social skills to get out of not being a retard. Look, all those pole are prob fake, those friendships i doubt will last long. Finding actual geniune friends is hard. Is there something wrong with my post? Please comment
>I'm still acting the same way as I used to
No you're not. You're significantly less of a sperg now than you were as a kid, but you just didn't notice your developing social skills as you grew up--and you didn't notice being a sperg as a kid because you didn't know better. People treat you decently because you now have the social skills necessary to coexist with others.

6th graders are young, you were a new kid stranger, they probably knew each other most of them from growing up and going to school together previously.

same shit with me. as soon as i cut my hair started hitting the gym and hit a growth spurt everyone started being nice to me even though i still liked the same weird shit and had the same weird sense of humour. dont blame em though i also hate ugly people

None of that was your fault, anon. Remember that. Find a picture of yourself in 6th grade. Tell him it wasn't his fault.
You'll be alright, friend.

I actually had more friends as a semi autistic fat child in middle school than as a slim tall attractive guy in highschool
