Hello first video watch of yours that pop up im not a college student I'm 48 . MY reason I'm commenting is you are seeing through the hard times and getting the meaning to things very well. Yes don't Self sabotage yourself its wrong thing to do i did it around 30to 33 cut off a lot ppl to get some isolation but it leaves you alone with same issues and no sounding board. I would must of my younger fra help others with their problems just to put off my but later on they still there but pilled up at older self. I wiah you best and go far in school see you soon from New Orleans.

[@MalMalWasTaken]

College was the worst few years of my life. I literally feel like I dont exist at all there. No one gives a shit about me. Even some of my friends have better friends to hang out with. My classmates went on a trip without me and most of the time, when I talk to them, I got little to no response. The only time anyone ever talk to me is when they need something but other than that, out of sight out of mind. As much as I hated those few years, it is also somewhat peaceful. Going to class alone, buying food alone, sitting in my room while watching anime alone. It is bitterly blissful. I tried to off myself a few times but realised that thing will get better but it still didn't. But I still have hope. I've done with college now a working at a 9-5 job. I've lost contact with all of my college "friends" and never want to look back. Sometimes I wonder what did I do wrong, why am I not enough, no matter how hard I try, no one seems to like me. Guess I have to accept the fact that I'll probably die alone. Alright, rant's over. Back to reality and there goes gravity. Edit: I am amazed and sadden by the number of people that went through the same shit I've been. I truly hope all of you will live a better and fulfilling life than me.

[@kimberleya5408]

Aww I’m so sorry you’re feeling/felt this way. I don’t know how old you are (assuming you’re early 20s?) but you seem young so I really don’t believe you’ll be alone for the rest of your life.

I know how she feels as well. But I gotta say, Ure still young and have the energy. I suggest saving money and doing a trip to Thailand, ull meet so many ppl , and learn how to social. Now I’m not sure how u can do it alone, that’s the hard part. If u have a courage, travel alone , if not wait till ull find a friend threw work, after awhile start planning ur trip, and see if anyone wants to join you (I just thought of that, I’m pretty surprised that idea came to my head cuz I always wondered how I can find someone to travel with). I suggest Thailand cuz it’s cheap there, and beautiful, and visitors are super friendly.

[@madeleynecarat3368]

You can make friends everywhere, just show yourself the way *you* would want people to show THEMSELVES. If you do that then you will attract loyal people, cuz...you just did what they wanted to do and they couldn't for ''x'' reason. And people (100%) absolutly LOVE when they see people do what they can't do, but wish they would . I know because I do like that kind of people, they are so cool in my eyes, and back to the first sentence .

[@aleynawastaken]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! Thank you for being so honest and not “fake-relatable”. It’s my third semester and I don’t feel like partying with random ppl and act fake nice, get drunk and cry etc. That seems to be the only way to get friends at university and I’m just not feeling it. It feels so superficial. I guess that’s me self sabotaging potential friendships but meh

[@jadeasher3369]

I FELT THIS

[@NewBlueTrue]

I know schools just closed down, and you probably won’t read this, but what helps in making friends or at least building an interaction with people to where you consider them hang out buddies is to go to places or join activities you enjoy. Scope people out you would want to be friends with and ask them to hang out outside of that space. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t, but that’s an approach to making friends. A lot of people’s friendships are, for lack of a better word, low effort. So, they essentially become friends with people in their immediate surroundings. You have to consistently put yourself in other people’s immediate surroundings for them to see you as someone to be friends with. Then as familiarity builds, ask them to hang out and see if that forms into a friendship. Sometimes it does, with time, and sometimes it doesn’t.

[@aleynawastaken]

NewBlueTrue wow okay thank you so much for being so kind?? And like writing all of this advice for me?! You’re like the sweetest. Because of corona the whole campus is closed but I’ve joined a group chat with some ppl so I feel like if I take your advice I might at least get one friend! Fingers crossed lol

[@NewBlueTrue]

Areina If you want it to be directed towards you, then so be it! But remember making friends takes time so it might be a while before someone else considers you a friend. Also, You have to be an active participant and initiator (you’ve got to make the first move sometimes) in making and keeping friends. Oh yeah, and Be Yourself! Fingers crossed 🤞

[@jasmijnvansprengel]

I sooo relate to this. I went to college with 2 of my high school friends and my first year just ended. They started partying a lot and I've tried to go with them sometimes but it really wasn't for me and I usually just left earlier. I felt awkward there and couldn't make new friends there at all lol. I cancelled a lot of plans because I was tired of being at those parties without having fun and feeling left out but then I was alone in my dorm and felt bad about that too. Idk what side is better. It does seem like when you don't do all that, rarely anyone can relate to you and it's really hard to make friends. I hate feeling lonely and like I'm missing out on all the fun but when I force myself out there, it also doesn't work. I feel like shit about it and it made me kind of depressed tbh. All my other high school friends also have made new friends and/or have boyfriends and I can't relate at all, it's awkward.

[@nostalgicrecall5916]

I’m plenty sad to. Like I had such a big group of “friends” when I first started but they’ve kind of disappeared. It’s my own fault for being so distant. I had the best roommate ever and she dropped out and now I am completely cut off. To end this, I’m going to try to put myself out there and be more social cause this shit is sucking. “Time of your life” my ass.

[@mickenziethompson]

For real..I'm thinking about dropping out too

[@strivingfornewhorizons9281]

Kinda same, my roommate got a boyfriend after ~3 weeks and moved in with him almost right away. From then on I only saw her 3 times during the entire Semester - I'm happy for her, but it still made it harder. I'm too anxious to go to the community kitchen in my dorm & the people there are from other universities anyway so that's great Hope you're doing better now! And now the rain why I originally wrote this comment: The last sentence is gold😂 Sums up my college experience xD

[@pdiddy96]

You shouldn’t rely on other people for a sense of enjoyment in life

[@sssophie9292]

That line is sooo relatable. I didn't meet up with my small group of friends except for studying until way in my last year of uni. Weekends were only good in the sense of no lectures. I could go from Friday evening to Monday morning where the only person I spoke to was my mum on the phone, or a shop worker when I did my weekly shop. You get used to the alone time. Some of the worst years of my life though, especially as I didn't enjoy my course. I think it's changed me in how I like to be around people now. I like my alone time still. I don't really do well at close friendships.

[@stefano4226]

Ikr if you have to fit in to make friends you basically are losing your own self if you don’t go to clubs, smoke or drink alcohol

[@strawberryshortgirl2637]

@@stefano4226 this is true, the main options to socialize outside work, school or such would be these 3 but they're a shallow and unhealthy way to gain good relationships so the only palatable options that are these kind of suck. And these 3 often are bad since people who socialize doing drinking and smoking often can't socialize without the drink and smoking. They all gotta do it and if one doesnt, then why are they there is what is asked

[@nakomochi3117]

I'm still in college with no friends but if I try to make friends after college, like would that even be possible?? Because at that point, the majority of adults have their solid circle of friends and don't want to make new friends and have them join their circle of close friends. As if it feels out of balance or something to add a new person in their friends list.

[@sherlockholmes2591]

My college experience felt like a prison. Go to class, go grab a meal, go to small dorm room alone. My grades really suffered from it and I don't know how that could have been helped . The only advice I can give is to go on walks. Usually colleges have beautiful places to walk around and it helps kill the anxiety a bit.

Yeah ,same 😔. Only me in the whole college

[@acidtabi]

Im in the same situation, the solitude is great for self-discovery and staying focused on school work, but its so lonely. Im a freshman in college and I also have a single dorm so I don't even have a room mate, which is great, but it makes it even more lonely. I found this video because I literally searched "no friends in college" and it brought me here. So thank you for making this video so I can see that Im not the only one. (I also say "I don't know" about this all the time, I genuinely don't know why I don't have friends in college, I just don't know, im not weird or mean, I just don't have friends lol)

[@CR-zd7jb]

I’m in my 4th semester in Uni, and still haven’t made any friends. I openly go out of my way to talk to the kids in my program, but they never seem to want to include me in anything and just talk to themselves (They mostly know each other from highschool). I get good grades, I am on honour role with 90s, yet I don’t feel anything of it. I also feel like I have so much free time and everything is so boring. I pretty much just look forward to going to sleep every night now. Nothing feels as special as it used to lol (holidays, weekends family events). I am a healthy human, yet I feel ungrateful for my life, I feel disgusted about myself thinking about it. I don’t want anyone to pity me. I am just writing this because it feels good to vent these thoughts that have been stuck in my head for a long time, I hope you meet some really cool people during the rest of your Uni days. You are funny and seem quite nice.

Literally me, I’m in uni been here over a year and still don’t have any friends. Like what am I even doing wrong, I keep trying and putting myself out there but I’m just not connecting with anyone, it’s getting to me and I totally feel the separation and loneliness. I’m a friendly, fun and outgoing person, how have I ended up in this situation where I hate going into uni everyday because of how miserable my experience is, I just feel like crying 😭

[@jemma9871]

I know how you feel, I hope things get better for you and I hope you make friends bc the feeling is just horrible. I'm in my 6th week at college and to be honest since the 3rd week in I've been crying myself to sleep every night asking myself why I don't have any friends or why most of the girls are so mean, judging me just because I don't look like them or wear a lot of makeup, or do drugs. I see everyone else making groups and I'm singled out and everyone on my course is beginning to see that I'm the one not fitting in and they're avoiding me bc they think my social status is low. It's hard but my advice is maybe to try and meet people online, foreigners tend to be really well mannered most of the time. At least then when you're by yourself you can be on your phone messaging a friend so you feel less alone

[@ibolyakatona8192]

This is kinda relatable. It's been 2 years so hopefully you don't feel as lonely anymore. I'm an introvert and most of the time people in my hall let me do the talking and ask questions but they only give short answers so i've stopped trying. Last time i went into the kitchen whilst my neighbour was cooking and i said hi how are you? She said ok and asked it back. I said yeah i'm fine thanks, grabbed something to eat and said have a good day and walked out. Tbh she looked a bit offended. I've joined societies but only go to one sometimes when i pluck up the courage. I dunno what i'm afraid of cause we always have a great time. I'm gonna try harder. You should too if your still in the same situation. Try stuff out and if it goes horribly you can go back to your room, reflect and try again. I've never been disappointed trying new stuff.

[@regflores9183]

I relate to this. I’m always alone in college. I’m somehow fine with being alone but there are times that I feel really really sad and tend to skip school because of it, and when I come back to school, I’m too shy to ask other people for help in catching up since we’re really not close, then I end up just being more sad. Idk. College is hard for me. :( I’m kinda thinking about dropping out of a subject because I can’t catch up anymore and idk who to go to. Hope you guys are doing a lot better than I am.

I've spent 5 years in college and never made a single friend, it will get better for you after college, perhaps.

[@randomrandom5316]

Incoming college student here. What I really hope is I won't be a loner just like in high school. Most students love talking about kpop, wattpad, etc and do partying but I just can't force myself to like those things. I just hope I'll meet people in college who would just like to hang out with me, eat lunch with me, etc. without being bothered by my quietness. I am more of listener than a talker and I just reallyyyy hope I'll meet someone who actually likes hanging out with me.

[@emma-cd9xv]

hi hi i just wanted to say that like i found this video yesterday and idk why or how but it’s really helped me in the past 24 hours. i feel like your words just made me feel less alone in the world and realise that sometimes you can be alone but not lonely as such and be HAPPY and have a good mindset about it. i’ve never really had much luck with friends, i’ve always seemed to find toxic ones that would never really be there for me? that would leave the second things get hard. my newly found friends of about 5 months in college who i thought would support me through it all just recently turned on me. i haven’t been myself lately and it’s just been getting super hard to be open and i’ve distanced myself a lot, which they saw as me “using them” or something. i have to admit it hurt so so bad. still does. because i needed them the most and they weren’t there but! i turned to other people like my family and my best friend and a couple other people outside of college who mean the most to me and i’m learning to be okay on my own and trying the process of loving myself for the 373737th time. anyways i just wanted to comment this so that you’ll hopefully see and know that you’ve helped someone and probably many others a LOT. and i think you should really really continue to post, because i’ve just recently went back and watched all your videos and tbh you remind me a lot of myself. you seem like you’d honestly be such a cool and genuine friend to have!!! i hope you’re doing well and that things aren’t getting you down as much lately. and hope to see another video soon. thank you

I thought I had friends in college. That all changed through second semester. I get I was a little immature, but I was the guy that had strict parents so being 18/19 with freedom in their life. Yeah I admit I partied more than I should've. Anyways the thing that pissed me off the most was like my birthday, I invited them to celebrate my 19th. In Canada that means you're finally able to drink, it was big. One of my classmates was a few days prior to mine and they all went out to that. Their excuse, they were too busy. It was reading week. I knew they had time judging by how much time they spent on discord. After that they just kinda started leaving me out of everything after class. My point is, the friends you make in college are like the ones you make in high school. You may make one or two permanent friends but the rest are temporary. Focus on yourself first, friends second y'know.

[@GraceTerrellforever99]

My first quarter of college was great my dorm was very social and I always had people to socialize with and study with. This quarter has been horrible and extremely anti-social people just stay in their rooms all day with their little group of friends.

[@qasimaneela06]

so relatable. I had no friends at all in first year and half then I met one person that I really clicked with. but thats it. however I realise that just one person is more than enough. oF course it hurts that all the others don't give two shits about me. I'm practically ignored and donny get a response from anyone. I tried a lot (since my friend isn't in my class ) to get along with my classmates but I don't know. maybe it's them or me. I am awkward and shy and I know at times it could seem like I'm full of myself or something but I'm not. I'm still alone in my class. no one really talks to me unless they want something from me. but I guess I'm getting used to it.

[@19x97x_M]

I feel like I can relate.. like I’m in my 5th semester in college and i only know go in and out of college without speaking to anyone and I feel like It’s so hard and awkward speaking to people that I don’t share the same interest .. anyway still lonely

[@mantiwa]

I spent first year of my collage literally going to movies alone like 5 - 7 times a week. Couldn't make any friends and used to feel super lonely looking at people hanging out. Tried many times, I tried to get in groups, met some people yet I couldn't form a lasting relationship with them. I'm at the last year of my college, pandemic took 1.5 years of it. Still have no friends in my faculty, but I feel better, I'll be fine...

I do the same thing and I'm working on improving. If you're like me, maybe you've had so many bad past friendships where people used you and left you, or you have been alone for so long that now that you get the opportunity to make friends, you have trust issues. Or maybe this caused you to not be able to navigate friendships as easily as before because it's been so long. Either way, take the chance. Don't let the possibility of a great friendship pass you by.

[@nakomochi3117]

You just described me 😅. My church's youth group does these group activities like having a sleep over at our youth leader's house , going camping, going bowling, etc but I always decline. It's just that, pretty much 98 percent of the group have known each other for several years and I've only been there for like 2 years so they're all super close like family and they all have the same cultural background (Puerto Ricans) while me and this other girl I know who I talk to more than anyone else there come from Mexican backgrounds so I can't relate with the others that much. I still don't even know their names except for 3 of them and it's been 2 years. I'm freaken shy and introverted when everyone else is extroverted in the group. Puerto Ricans are known to be loud and outgoing so it makes sense why the group is so together. Anyways, only me, the girl and 3 guys are college kids out of the 14 others in circle who are teens and kids. The college ones are all older than me so I cant really relate or feel any connection with them. Plus I don't talk to guys because Ive never had guy friends in my life unless it's like a school environment but outside I don't talk to guys. I don't understand how guys think or wht they even talk about 😅. Also I'm into Korean and Japanese stuff so I guess it makes it worse because no one else in the group has interest in those kind of things. Anyways I just feel like a lost potato haha. I guess I'm going to be lonely for a while lol

[@orelsinge141]

I relate to this. I have 4-5 good friends from High school but we are all busy with our lives now, and i only see them ~5 times/year. They all made great friends, except me. I'm a sophomore in college and i literally have 0 friend here. I don't know why because I always had a bunch of friends in High school. I always participate to my college events, I talked to people, asked for their insta talked a bit, but i felt like i was forcing so I stopped and they never sent any message after that. Now I dont even try. I never eat lunch in the cafeteria because I dont want to eat alone, so I always eat a sandwich in a park not far from my college. It still hurts to see that people around me are at least 2, but they're strangers, not classmates, so it's "ok". I am so lonely.

[@cerberus1321]

I went through the same experience in college myself about 9 years ago. Ended up depressed for a long time and never went back to 2nd year. Had a habit of cutting people off when I was younger which in hindsight was a good decision. Fear of failure exacerbated a lack of effort in class but there was enough alone time and alcohol to fuel an existential awakening (if that is a thing). Cut a long story short it's a learning experience and character building. You will be stronger for it in the long run. Trust your gut and be happy. I actually finished my degree part time 6 years later, have a decent job and a love for life. Best of luck 🍀

Just watched this on my college break while well yknow, and this has just made me feel much less lonelier now that I know I am not the only one. There are people who I am friendly with and can hang out with but they have nothing in common as I do and they don’t always acknowledge me so I don’t think those people are considered as friends. I keep questioning myself as well thinking that I need to change but this video has helped me realise that I don’t and friends isn’t the most important thing In the world.

[@onionpotato3396]

I've been there. When I was your age, in university, it was a brutally lonely time, so I have a world of empathy for what you are going through. I thought it was just me, but I know now that it wasn't. This experience is common, so refuse to tell yourself lies that it is only you and something must be wrong with you. In my experience, the best way to make friends is to do things that require you to leave your room. Join a club, play a sport, do a hobby, go to church, get a job. Activities are great for making friends because they give us time to develop familiarity and comfort with other people. You won't become lasting friends with most of the people you meet, but you might become lasting friends with a few, and that is worth it. My other bit of advice - based on years of working on this - is to adjust your attitude. I think a lot of people are very lonely, but the range of people that they will accept as friends is about an inch wide. Quit judging people, you judgy judger! ☺ That oddball and that "loser" might make a really good friend. I have a couple of friends who are, by the standards of our society, big failures in life but they are wonderful at being friends. Their friendship is as good as gold because they care about people. So don't be so quick to reject people just because they are low status.

i literally wrote "no friends at college" and this video appeared. For the very first time I've seen a genuine person sarcastically dealing with the issue of not hanging out with anybody in college, and that's cathartic man, I don't take it for granted. For the past three years I have always been blaming the pandemic for alienating my social life, but it's not as simple and linear as it sounds. Sometimes I enjoy spending time with myself but, as every single human being, I need dynamic balance when it comes to knowing other people. Nevertheless, by reading those comments I've found myself again, I found my uncomfortableness having lunch alone, taking notes and just getting nervous for exams on my own. I don't want to blame myself anymore, nor other people, because the whole situation goes beyond the concept of finding who did what and what's wrong about it. I just think that sometimes this is going to get better, I'm standing up for my positions, seeking for real relationships, and not superficial ones. I don't want to use people whatever it takes, because I have different values and I'm becoming the person I want to hang out with, virtually. Empathizing is functional sometimes, isn't it? We're on the same boat I guess. Sun will rise and we will try again :)

I tell her that I am perfectly content, even happier, without all the drama and garbage that "friends" drag with them. Am I a nobody? I hope others see me that way...they'll leave me alone. Nothing more dangerous that screwing with a "nobody". I'm comfortable in my skin.

[@adamkern6243]

I've been going to the University of Cincinnati for almost three years now and I still don't know anyone. The first year was online because of the pandemic so that probably didn't help. In hindsight, I probably should have held off a year. Last year I was in the dorms but I had a weird roommate and I was never really able to break into any social circles. People tried to talk to me but I would get so nervous I'd basically shut down. I got invited to some stuff and sometimes that went ok but I just was never really able to hit it off with any of their friend groups. Twice people invited me to things and then told me they were canceled because their friends didn't want me there because they thought I was weird. I had some success in the last weeks of school and met a pretty hot girl. She introduced me to some of the people on my floor but it was too little too late and I never broke into that group either. This year one of my high school friends and I got a place above a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. But my friend still spends most nights at his mom's place leaving me alone and I go weeks at a time without really interacting with anyone. I feel terrible and I have crippling social anxiety. I try to talk to my parents about what I'm going through but all that really does is hurt them and make them feel upset so I'll probably stop doing that. But for the moment I'm still living here above the greasy hibachi joint and my grades are steadily declining. My whole adolescence was miserable and I was ruthlessly bullied in high school and middle school I'm worried if something doesn't change soon I'm going to be absolutely miserable for the rest of my life. I honestly just want good memories more than anything but i'm an artist so maybe I'm supposed to be miserable. I'll keep yall posted if anything changes

Because I've also gained a chunk of self-esteem I now decided to ditch these people - not that they care , though - and focus on myself, on being alone. Because I was the top student in my class I was surrounded by plebs who leeched me off for books, notes and whatever but couldn't even wish me a happy birthday.

Well, depends on what kind of friends you make in college. I was kinda like friends with a group of nerds in my college back in the first semester when I entered it, and I was the last student to be accepted so I didn't know anyone while everybody else already got the opportunity to know each other before me, but in this group of friends I made there was a stalker and he apparently fell in love with me or whatever. But he texted me over and over "demanding" me to tell him where I was, what I was doing, who I was with and if I could "spend some time talking to him" (even though we had most of the times nothing to talk about), calling me over my cellphone multiple times a day, sending text at all sorts of social medias and even following me to know where I lived, calling me to go to his place for "study projects" and making all sorts of excuses so I would sleep in there with him, or telling things and secrets about himself to me so I would open myself, but distorcing everything he said to me and about myself to other people and making me look like the bad guy ... And there was even the day he literally wanted me to go to the middle of a park so he could tell me something really important about college and I did went there but it was just a scheme for him to stay alone with me and try to have a romantic date. On a park. At 5pm or something, on sunset, so It could be more romantic. This was not his only attempt. He managed to convince the entire group to have a HP, invited me for weeks and I went because I though "Hey, maybe I won't be alone in there and all", I was the last one to get there (Needed to make sure the others were actually going), and at night, after everybody was trying to sleep, he wanted to sleep with me and wanted to kiss or have sex with me. At that day, he basically outed me as gay (I'm bi) to everybody on the group, even though it was my choice to tell people or not. And it wasn't my choice because it was nobody else's business but mine. Creepy as fuck, I left the group next semester, never looked back at them (After I had to literally smash his phone so he wouldn't get in touch with me), and since for the rest of the people I was the "bad guy" and he was the "innocent victim", I didn't manage to make any friends in college for the next 4 years. *Yay to me, right??????* :)

the shitty thing about doing college and not wanting to make friend because of superficiality and unautenticity is when you have to do a group presentation for an exam. like I remember when I had to do a group project for econometrics I had to write to the professor that I couldnt because nobody wanted me in their group and he forced two girl to take me in their group lol (in the end we were the group with the highest note lol) however, I ended the college and I spend most of the time still alone painting reading and writing (because I don't want a fucking job for a system I don't support). I found some cool people doing yoga but they are all like lot older then me, but I don't care. sometimes I meet with them and sing mantras or do yoga. but still, most of the time alone. I think it is good to learn to stay alone, because we can stay togheter only when we learn to stay alone. however, I wonder whether social media instead of connecting us isn't kinda dividing us!!

This is me as well. I think it was also difficult because I was studying away in a different country and then coronavirus plunged me even further into isolation. I feel like it wasn’t even like I had no friends but I would often hang out with people and then go back to my dorm and sob because all the interactions felt meaningless and the loneliness was crushing. Like - gasping for breath, tripping over my own feet and starting to avoid people on purpose kind of crushing. I relate to you so much - I oscillate between wondering if it’s my fault and then wondering if people just left me behind. I hate superficial relationships so much and so honestly college is just hard because people want to do dumb shit together (which def has its time and place) but they never want to go deeper. So now I’m stuck at home facing another online semester in the fall... and I can’t decide if I’m wasting my youth or if it’s just easier this way?

Then I realized, fake friends are better than no friends but also alone time is still good. It takes time to find your real (small) group of friends but it's worth it. I started much more social in actual college, but still feel like I haven't made any real connections like what I had with my high school bffs. I was surrounding myself with the wrong crowd and the "good friends" I made in my classes would barely hang out with me outside of class, unless its for class work/projects or the occasional meal all together. They would ditch or cancel plans with me too often, it was really frustrating, and even on my birthday I had to practically beg for them not to bail. Its annoying being left out of the bubble and the odd one out, smoking and vaping is not my thing so I was excluded from most parties and hang outs, although I started skating around campus because of them which was fun for awhile until I busted open my chin in a stupid accident. I was too nice, around my "cool and popular" extroverted roommate and his girlfriend and his group of friends/followers who were sort of some of my only friends too, that I got stomped on and treated like a third wheel. I would sleep a lot, take long naps, and stopped taking care of my hygiene because I was so depressed, unmotivated, spiraled and fell behind in work. In dreams I could escape to my inner fantasy world and receive the comfort and happy thrill I was missing, dreaming about having a girlfriend, missing my home friends and kitty cats terribly. Basically, college is what you make of it, it could either be the best experience or the worst of times! I'm hoping for a brighter future in the years to come, starting by surrounding myself with better worthy people I can vibe with.

@shrimpgoat4876 how are you doing now?

[@aaliyahkhan6030]

This is why I couldn’t put up with the group I was in and I left and now I’m lonely cuz of drama and they accuse me of stuff etc like I hate when ppl don’t include me and cause drama out of f all.

[@aaliyahkhan6030]

So I quite literally have nobody tbh I don’t speak to nobody and I have a whole year left.

its good to see other people in a similar situation. Its hard seeing people hanging out in small/big groups acting normally. In truth I do have some friends and a girlfriend but I never feel comfortable in groups and spend a lot of time alone. But its good to see that I am not an outlier just because I struggle to form social connection. Thank you

I can relate, but definitely on a worse level. Freshman year I was very social and talked to everyone. But most college kids never really cared about me or just wanted to use me for their projects or school work. Every college "friend" I had never lasted a month due to them ghosting me. It eventually turned me bitter and angry at everyone. My trust was completely shattered. Worst part is many college kids can be beyond cruel. Sadly, my anger and bitterness got the best of me and I ended up getting into fights on campus, one person I ended up breaking their nose. The college environment for me was mentally and physically draining. I evebtually dropped out and went to a trade school where I'm much better off. But at college, I was lonely, angry, bitter and mean from so many college students not knowing what a friend is. I still have trust issues and a temper from all of it to this day
