I know I'm not the easiest person to know and have learned to live with that a long time ago. When I first moved here, I felt like you -- kinda left out even in activities that I was participating in. It took some time, but I was finally accepted. I also learned to come out of my shell and invite people to join me. That helped a lot. Now, I have people I call true friends here, people I do stuff with and acquaintances. It makes for a social life that suits me perfectly. So, swallow hard and start doing your own inviting -- it really does make a difference.
