Stop trying. I don't know how to explain it but things just work more smoothly when you don't give a shit if anyone likes what you have to say. I'm so sorry this is happening to you.
I'll tell you this story in the hope that it helps. I lost all my friends after high school. I had none going into college and it scared me shitless. But I delved into school-work and I found happiness in it. Because of my being happy I was able to be smart and quick in class and people liked me. From there I made friends whom I studied with and talked shit about the professors. I can't explain why they liked me other than I was happy and I was being myself; I didn't do it for anyone but me.
If I had done what you're doing and had cared only for what people thought and needed not only would I have been ruining my life (grades) but I would have made no friends because I was so worried in the first place about making them.
Again I'm sorry this is happening but crying in the corner won't fix it. You have to get off your ass and DO SOMETHING. Or else die. Those are your only options really.
To summarize: Live life for you. Focus on what you need and what you want out of it. Go to college or else find a career doing the thing you're passionate about. Focus relentlessly on making yourself happy and improving your life and I have no doubt you'll pick up friends along the way as I did.
Why am I never someone people want to be around?
