Help friends

I’ve never had a boyfriend and I’m a senior in high school.... This past year I’ve felt lonely because my friends decided to ditch me and not hang out. Lately, I feel like I’m missing out in having someone to be myself around, I guess affection. I feel like that’s what I need to experience, but I don’t talk to guys at school and they don’t talk to me...I don’t know if its just that or that I’ve convinced myself.. I don’t want it to be that because I don’t like depending on other people to make me feel happy..
