Everyone is on their phone all the time
I'm having such a hard time making friends here because literally anyone else I've seen alone has their face glued to their phone. I'm not saying I've never done that, but I do make an effort to stay off of it most of the time I'm outside and definitely while I'm trying to make friends. My whole life I have always been the one who has had to approach others to start an interaction and I wish someone else would approach me for once. I'm super extroverted and have a pretty bubbly and welcoming personality and make friends easily once I'm actually talking to someone so I know that I'm not the problem here. Can't people just stay off their phone for like 5 minutes and make eye contact and exchange smiles with the people around them????
