Herpes can only spread skin to skin so #2 cannot happen... and I have heard that catching herpes and not knowing is pretty rare but I could be wrong... I asked my doc that question yesterday when I went in and he didnt know.. lol
this doesn't sound at all like herpes going on. continue to follow up on these issues with the dermatologist for better answers.
if you've never been tested for herpes before, why not get a type specific herpes igg blood test to see what your status is?

4 different doctors told me there was no way they could test for it and they have found nothing wrong so they are convinced as well as my own mother that i am just paranoid but whatever i have contracted is contagious because i have lost friends over this which means i have somehow given whatever it is to someone else
you can get a type specific herpes igg blood test to see what your status is. Most adults have hsv1 so even if you test + for that, it doesn't mean that what is going on is due to herpes but at least your know your status for future partners.

see thats the ****** thing cuz straight up i can tell you it will be + HSV-1 (cold sores) run in my family and i get them rarely but i still get them which is another reason i believe that if i have contracted HSV-2 i might not get a break out from it ( once again only 3% of people who have caught HSV-2 don't have break outs) like i don't know all i know is because of this i now suffer from social anxiety and if i am around a large number of people i have anxiety attacks do to the fact i donno what i have and it is contagious and i don't know how contagious plus like i have said i have some how already given it to someone else but no one will tell me what is was that i guess gave to them everyone just stopped talking to me and is now ignoring me
hsv2 orally absolutely would not present with these sorts of symptoms this frequently.
I'm sure the reason why your friends are no longer talking to you has nothing to do with anything you might've given them. They certainly were not really friends if they stopped communicating with you without any reason why.
