to what extent do you push away non-friends (strangers) from playing with you?
what's the distinction between someone wanting to play in a server and someone impeding on your time with your friend?
what did you expect when joining a public server?
will you kick them/leave server to play with no-one so you can enjoy your time with your friend?
is it easier to dismiss others in the virtual space?

keep trying to find a place where you can belong in the world, if it doesn't work, at least feel some belonging to yourself, be good or be good at something
find a way to live with yourself in spite of chronic rejection – do something of value. example: questioning and philosophizing the nature of social interactions in multiplayer videogames and their cascading effects in the real world, while attempting to give life advice gives. if that gives you some sort of solace, then good, consider doing it again, you might get good at it, and if not, that experience can carry over to your next venture
make sure you keep educated about mental health, one of the biggest factors that affects you in every aspect of life. your mind and body adapt to stress, some better than others, some not so much.
if you find yourself fortunate to have to opportunity to connect with people, try your best. don't be too hard on yourself because it isn't helpful to you. if you connect, good. if not, then rest and try a new approach/go elsewhere
you can't take the responsibility of everyone's behavior/mistakes, it's not healthy
you will least you have deduced what people you aren't compatible with, not everyone is going to like you
put your life in order, at least try. start with cleaning/organizing your room (or affairs) as your room can possibly be a manifestation of your mind, reflecting your life. doing this may make you more qualified about talking about others' affairs because you will have taken the steps to put the work in to solve a very hard task. become a problem solver. life is not only dealing with problems but how you deal with them. would life have no purpose with no problems to solve?
humans and their social interactions, unfortunately and/or fortunately one of them
