<human>: I'm in Grade 11, at a small Catholic high school (catholic school is free where I live). 

I made several very close friendships in elementary/middle school. Some of them went to different high schools. As we've gone through high school their lives have gotten progressively better as mine has gotten worse. I've been depressed, my mother died and I'm gay and in the closet.

I can't seem to make any new friends. I don't trust people because I'm afraid of getting hurt. I feel like I'm being too clingy to the friends I do have.

My friends have all gotten new friends that are much closer and they've become a lot happier.

I know it's my fault for being so unhappy, but I can't compete with their other friends who they obviously like much better and are more fun to hang around.

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: Friends are slowly leaving me, I feel abandoned and can't compete with their new friends. How do I make myself more interesting so I can be liked?
