Seriously, sunnyhibiscus, I'm sorry for your disappointment. My suggestion, like some others here, is to look at it as an opportunity to take some time with yourself and learn about yourself. No one here can tell you why you may have shy times, low self-esteem times or feeling-like-an-outcast times, but perhaps a counselor at school
can help you with that.
I do wonder (and that's all I can do on the little information here) if your feeling that you are unpopular sort of becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy -- others pick up on it and treat you the way you seem to treat yourself. I just don't know, and that's where I think talking to someone who can help you figure it all out might be very useful.
I do know that you can't find meaningful acceptence from others -- whether it's a sorority, team, or any other group -- if you're not accepting and feeling okay about yourself.
Good luck, and let us know how it's going!
