Hello Gothamfan, welcome to the forums.
The last two years have been so unpredictable as to what is going to happen, one moment a decision is made by the government and then we're back in lockdown, so it's disturbing to know what's going to happen next and we certainly can't predict tomorrow.
What you have told us outlines the basic worry you are struggling with so we understand, and of course, the classes you're in maybe with people you have not been able to assimilate with or for various other reasons, but it's the teacher you need to pay all your attention to because once the class is finished then you can go your separate way, which brings me to the point of having no one to talk to.
Within a class of say 20 people, there are the ones who always stand out as being leaders but quietly in the background there's a handful of people who stay completely silent and don't want to be noticed, these are those people you can begin a conversation with, you can talk about the tennis or the cricket, whatever inspires you, but just make a brief comment then a link may be formed.
Remember they may be feeling exactly the same as you do and want someone to align themselves with.
Kids Helpline 1800 55 1800 can be contacted by phone, web chat or online as they help aged between 5 to 25 years of age and perhaps as you get to know this other person this could be raised with them, then a bond has been found.
Please get back to us at any time.
Geoff.
