Sup guys. I’m 16 for reference.

Last weekend there was a big event near me, and I went to see old people from middle school who I hadn’t seen in awhile. I’ve changed a lot as in middle school since I used to fat and awkward af. Long story short I found a group of around 10-15 kids that I chilled with and had a good time as I socialized a lot with them. I asked to join their group chat and it took them a day and they finally added me.

I’d thought I made a good impression, but then I find out today that they all were hanging out somewhere else that wasn’t even far from me. Kinda has me feeling like shit. Maybe I was too forceful? I don’t think I should’ve asked to join the group chat as that might’ve seemed like a needy thing to do.

Anyways, any tips on what I should do and how I could make it better next time? I can expand on the story more if you ask.
