I had trouble with that too. I would go home and bawl after every meeting, wondering what was so wrong with me that no one would even look at me- even after saying I was new. Many rough nights spent in pain, when I didn't have to.

One meeting I finally had enough and stood up and said "I'm scared- I'm lonely and I have no one to talk to and I AM SICK OF THIS!". I asked for help and I received it.

I thought people didn't like me- turns out most of them saw how nervous/upset I was and didn't want to spook me or make me run. Two months later- I now have many people to talk to and hang out with at meetings. It just took me being able to be honest about how scared I was and how lonely- AA took over from there. I just needed to stand up I suppose
