I'm self-destructive
It never fails, everyday I spend the day with myself. I have a couple of friends, but none that go to parties or do anything fun. It seems like everyone else is having an exciting summer with friends chilling by the pool or going to parties but I spend every night in my room watching Friends on tv. Ironic.
I don't want to just invite myself places, but somewhere I lost the old, fun me that used to have a ton of friends. Now, everyones grouped off and I've just been left behind. Getting invited to hang out in a tight group of friends has been the hardest thing. Any advice to make my summer NOT suck so bad?

They probably won't spontaneously reach out to you; try reaching out to them! Have a pool party and invite a bunch of people. Or organize an event, like a picnic or a day at a minigolf course. If that doesn't work (if people are so distant that it would be awkward to randomly invite them places) make new friends! Forget the old friends that have forgotten you. Sign up for a club or take a few sports lessons, you're bound to meet new people that way.
If all else fails, get a job! It will keep you busy, you'll make money, AND you'll make new friends! Good luck, and remember: a few nights of watching Friends does not mean you're a social failure.

its not ironic.
anyways, best I can tell you is just to go do random shit, run into people, make friends. you won't get anywhere sitting at home. I've had many summers like that, so I just spent most of my time at the fishing pier meeting people and catching fish. dual purpose, I made friends, and caught dinner.

Maybe instead of waiting for friends to come to you, you should go to them. Try asking the handful of friend you have to go do something fun in your perspective and then next week they could choose something fun in their perspective. You guys could each rotate doing activities that you all find exciting. Who knows, you might find a new hobby or meet new people along the way.
Hope you have a fun summer!

If your current friends aren't inviting you places, find new friends. That doesn't mean you have to dump your other friends- it just means maybe if you find new people to hang out with, your "old" self will come back?
Try going to the park or a popular hang out spot in your town- maybe the mall?
I wish the best for you!
