Part ofadulthood is people going their own way. You’ll just get to learn that sooner. Start working on your own hobbies and social skills. Its going to suck, but its up to you to mature/grow into your own individual. No real advice as its a personal journey (don’t rush it it will take time). Most people won’t think about this development until they are in college, so the bright side is you might be more emotionally mature by then.

Piggybacking on this to say that if you join groups based around your hobbies you can make good friends that way too. It’s really hard to make friends during class because you’re too focused on schoolwork to be social.
And don’t be discouraged if one group doesn’t work out. I had a tough time making friends my freshman year of college and tried joining an anime club but didn’t like the vibe of that club. My RA pushed me to volunteer for Resident Life and that’s where I made all my closest college friends. Joining clubs, volunteer organizations, or other social groups is a great way to meet similar minded people. People in these groups tend to be friendly so they can attract more people into the group.
