Are reverts welcomed by the wider Muslim community?

Assalamu Alaikum. I’m a revert living in the Balkans (Eastern Europe). I reverted a little over two years ago, Alhamdulillah. At first I was eager to belong and connect with other Muslims, but after experiencing some toxicity I realised I don’t have to depend on others to be part of the ummah. Many friends I had before my reversion drifted away or left without being honest, and some became more like casual acquaintances. I’ve never been someone who hangs out in big friend circles - I’m an introvert and I’m usually fine on my own. Still, like everyone, there are times I wish I had close Muslim friends or at least one fellow believer to talk to. I’ve started attending gatherings to meet people. Thankfully there are Muslims at my workplace, and through one colleague I joined a student group at a nearby university. Most of them are from different countries and maybe it’s cultural differences, or because they were born Muslim, or simply because I don’t study at the same university - but whenever I try to join conversations I get short replies or I’m ignored. Is anyone else dealing with this kind of situation? How did you cope or find sincere brothers and sisters to connect with? Any advice would be really appreciated. JazakAllah Khair.
