This happened to me when I was in high school. (Out for a year, praise spaghetti-monster) And I got it the worst my senior year. I basically began to mature and realize how much I despised my peers for being freaking idiots. The "outcasts/nerds" were the best kids to be around. They talked about interesting things, and I was scorned by my popular and shallow peers for doing so. I talked to everyone and didn't care who was prettier. I had a hard time making real friends because, by senior year everybody else usually has their best friends. Especially in a small town where we all grew up together. My two best friends moved away my soph year so I was boned.
Anyways, it happens to a lot of people. Mainly because high school is fucking lame. But not everyone has bad experiences. If you don't feel any amount of connection with someone, even after the first hang out, go try a different person. You want to make friends with people who will appreciate you as a friend and have a connection with. Not everyone out there is an asshole. Just takes some time to sort through them.
