Why won't anyone sit next to me on the bus to school 😭?

[Anonymous]

Everyday I make sure I sit in order to make room if anyone needed a seat, but I'm always alone.

Help me fix my self confidence.

It is very possible that you don't look approachable. When I say this, don't confuse being approachable with being attractive. Your body language could be telling people that you don't want anyone next to you. Try smiling more. You could also appear more open and approachable by avoiding things like waling with head phones in or sitting with your arms folded. I hope this helps!

There could be many reasons. Some people just don’t like sitting with people on the bus. I try my best to get a seat to myself even when I have friends on the bus. If you’re worried you could try looking more welcoming. Smile, make it clear that if anyone needs a place to sit, they can sit by you.

I personally would sit alone before I sat with someone. I just think it’s awkward and I like to have room to put my stuff down that’s not on my lap. By the time I got into high school I’d sit alone mornings to sleep and maybe sit with my friends afternoons

Maybe they think you're weird, and if so... Go to your nearest dope place, buy some kicks and clothes and start studying and get smart. Get a job, get a car, get your license, and then you won't have to deal with anyone looking at you and you'll be dope as f***. If anyone despises you it's probably because they're jelly.

People don’t normally sit next to you unless they know you or there is no other seats. You can’t control other people so maybe you should try to control the way you feel. People can sense that and don’t like it.

BUT THEY SHOULD MAKE ME FEEL HAPPY

Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.

dont act unapproachable (always looking at the phone, crossed arms, looking down/away, never smiling etc.)
Try to smile and build some casual eye contact, this should fix most of it 😋

Alone is better it's quiet best part you will never have to think to yourself, "OMG can't they just shut the freak up."

[Asker]

But I want to socialize!

[sarahhcmarie]

i prefer sitting alone on the bus tbh.
I just wanna get home.

[sinayomaafrika]

Learn not to care, try be more social & make a few conversations w people.

[Anonymous]

Fuck them. They dont wanna sit next to you , that's their problem not yours.
Focus on having fun even if it's on your own and on your school work.

Just a guess, but maybe you smell of rancid milk and cat urine

[Asker]

I DO NOT! I smell of rancid urine and cat milk.

[stuntbrain]

Sorry, I'm easily confused. Do you, or do you not, stink like a putrid litter box filled with spoiled dairy?

[Anonymous]

Don't worry.. it's really nice to sit alone, be in your own world, listen to music. Start enjoying yourself and people will like you.

[TheNephilim]

That's good. Enjoy the view sitting next to a window.

[jennifer_bloom]

Do you wear deodorant? It might be a scent thing.

[Anonymous]

Well maybe you smell?
Or you have no friends

[Asker]

:( The latter

[JustCallMeLeon]

I want my space. Plus maybe you're weird.

[Asker]

Why is a 31 year old on a bus 🤔

[JustCallMeLeon]

Im stalking you.

[Asker]

Are you the bus driver?

[Asker]

Thank you bus driver!
