it’s really like you have no idea what I’ve actually been through and experienced over the years
It's not just like that, it is that. But I also have trouble making friends.
I have one good friend who constantly irritates me and another I have tea with occasionally. I would like to have two or three friends, ideally people I like (this is surprisingly difficult).
I'm shocked to hear you've faced rejection, ridicule, derision, and scorn. The most I've faced is blank looks or text messages left unread. I really want to know what happened to bring about those responses.
