Me too, 6 schools by 7th grade, with 3 city moves. I unfortunately had a stutter, which made forming friendships harder, I basically gravitated to the outcasts. And I read a shit ton; by the end of 4th grade I was finishing the entire classic section of the high school library. Reading way over my head, I joined an adult book club and had my first introductions to serious intellectual debates; which really put a distance between my same age peers and my interests. My stutter did not really get under control until my mid 20's.
Yeah I'm the same, I think I went to nine schools by the time I went to college in the fall of 2019, most of the school changes happening in elementary school. It really does effect your ability to make friends
I've found that I don't have trouble making friends, but I've put myself in situations where friendships come and go.
I went from moving around a bunch, and making new friends at each place, to living in Whistler, BC, where you've got an annual turnover of new people, then I settled down in Bondi Beach, Australia, which doesn't have the turnover of Whistler, but not far off.
