does it actually get easier to make friends in college?

Hi there, I'm an upcoming senior in high school and i've struggled to with friendships since i can remember in elementary school. I always seem to become the person that everyone tolerates and not someone's friend.

I don't have any problems with anyone (at least not that's i'm aware of). Some of my classmates were making fun of me on a class trip that I don't have a "best friend"

I was told in elementary school it gets better in middle school, and then so on and so forth. I'm just genuinely wondering does it get easier and how can i give myself the best chances at creating genuine connections? I'm willing to try to learn. Thanks reddit
