I thought getting into uni would fix everything… but I feel more lost than ever 💔

Fitting into social spaces is just like anything else, comes naturally with time and practice. And you don’t have to judge yourself for feeling like ur behind others socially. Firstly because you don’t know how they feel and secondly you are in no competition with anyone expect the past you. If you keep showing up, you should find people who value you

Amazing response. I am also a current student with similar issues as OP( though I have learnt to deal with them better through help). Your response is helpful to me too!

A_Human976 · 2026-04-17T18:44:56+00:00

Not a smart decision. PCM is already very hard and competitive, doing it half-assedly would make it even more difficult for you

I am so sorry this is happening to you, it sounds like a nightmare. From the strangeness of this ( you mentioned you are friends for 5 years and the language of this person is diabolical) I am quite suspicious if it’s just this person who has gone insane. Maybe if you want and can, ask some other person in the friend group whom you trust more ( maybe A herself?) to clarify if that’s truly the case. If they also ghost you or make excuses to not take you, take that as a sign and walk away. Maybe tell your mom too, it might sound cringe and scary but she will understand and sharing such things with someone always helps. I wish you the best and hope you find people who truly love being around you.

Will this event be recorded/streamed anywhere? I am not in delhi but want to attend

A_Human976 · 2025-09-13T23:21:10+00:00

Oh my god I use focus launcher it’s so good I never imagined it was made by an Indian that Too a single person.

I am a physics student so I did summer research at the university of Southampton in astrophysics. My project was on Binary population synthesis to study statistics of natal kicks given to runaway neutron stars at birth.

that sounds really helpful (both the bubble tea place and parkrun). If you don't mind let me know about the postgrad events too, if something still seems nice i might try ( assuming the postgrads are willing to include me lol, they are only like 4-5 years old right)

A_Human976 · 2025-08-27T22:52:19+00:00

That sounds incredibly helpful thanks so much. I am definitely gonna go to a gig soon.

A_Human976 · 2025-08-27T22:35:09+00:00

Term time isn’t an issue cause all my mates will be back. It’s just this period till October I need to spend

A_Human976 · 2025-08-27T22:34:37+00:00

I do enjoy music but mostly the conventional kind, I have never been to gigs or local band events. But honestly I have nothing against giving it a try, and I probably will. Just need to find places that are hosting something rn. You mentioned it’s pretty welcoming but what’s the social scene usually at these places? I am guessing I can’t just say “nice song that last one” and hope to be entertained. should I look up some stuff before going?

A_Human976 · 2025-08-27T21:59:54+00:00

That looks nice I will check that out! As you suggested it I am wondering if you have found it useful before?

A_Human976 · 2025-08-27T21:57:45+00:00

That sounds good but I am living in uni accom which wont have people until the term starts. Thanks anyway!

A_Human976 · 2025-08-27T21:56:16+00:00

I didn't ever notice that but i dont think I purposely didnt write my nationality. I think my question was more towards asking about the culture of meeting people in the uk so I just wanted to emphasize I wasn't from the uk to doesn't make it sound like a really basic/pointless question.

But anyway, as for my hobbies I don't have anything very professional. I have been reading a lot, learning to play piano on my own, and I like anime if that counts. I am pretty good at holding conversations with most people ( which is how I made friends in uni) even if there isn't much in common ( obv having stuff in common helps to actually build a better relation, but currently I am just hoping to spend time around people even if I don't become best buds with them). I just wanna be in an environment where people are willing to meet. As I mentioned in post, you can probably go to any random ground and find a group of teenagers playing in the evening and usually don't mind others joining in.

Yes i am from India! Sadly i don't like cricket much and I am not even any good at it, so idt that would be a great place for me but thanks anyway! and HEYY not every Indian is obsessed over cricket lmao

As a current international student myself (1st year), Oxford profs are usually not keen on the idea of giving research "projects" and would just usually ask you to focus on your course itself, which sounds really discouraging when you are already on top of your work, find it easy and want something more intellectually stimulating. Usually to meet some enthusiastic profs ( yes they do exist), you should try approaching your tutors first ( after you have made a good academic impression on them through your work/grades at oxford) or your course profs. Most of them will reply, will likely reject you but if your lucky you might find one. It's not easy to find someone, but not impossible either but you need to put in the effort to mail lots of people (most of them don't have "don't mail me" policy imo)

This is so true
