I might be misremembering, but wasn't "leave me alone!" one of the things Mike shrieked at his friends back before EF? And since EF he's been steering way clear of everyone else, not just Lucy. It's not just the track team either, Mike doesn't initiate conversations in general, and when Paulo, Daisy, Sue, the track team, or anyone else initiates, he gives monosyllabic self-deprecating responses until the conversation dies from awkwardness.
>What he wanted was an actual friendship without romantic feelings involved.
But he has plenty of those! He's got Daisy, the MMO gang with Stacy, Abbey, & Sue, and the track team. And he's got more options besides: Abbey outright invited him to hang out with him and Haley/Jasmine's friend group, Rachel likes him and is great at comforting pathetic sadboys, even Paulo and David, assholes that they are.
I get that Mike's depressed and depressed people suck at being social or outgoing, but the dumb motherfucker has multiple people literally telling him "Hey, are you alright? I'm always available to listen if you need a friend." and every time he either screeches at or brushes them off.
