I (44F) have a high school aged son. He started at a new high school for freshman year in a distirct hed never been to before. So, my son seems to have self confidence issues. He thinks the only way he can make friends is to offer them something. He's very skilled academically, so what he feels he has to offer is answers on assignments in class. Like, last year, if literally anyone asked him for answers be would give it up hoping they would like him. Same with group projects. He'd be doing other peoples part of the project to make it "Easier" on them. After school last week, he was telling me (complaining about) how all said people didnt talk to him anymore even though they had talked in classes they had last year and thought they were friends. Or at least acquainted. I told him if he'd stop being a doormat and trying to win people over with giving them stuff and getting nothing in return he'd actually make some friends. I wasn't trying to be rude as this post seems to be. He's been pretty distant since. AITA?
