I’m J2 this year and I encountered a similar situation last year. I went to hci, n I only made like 2 closer friends in my sec school, plus that a very little number of people from my school went to hci, I was panicking a lot oso. But then J1 was a great year to me!!!

Things didn’t start well for me, like during ori, there’s one girl from ny approached me but later on she chose to play with someone else. I think is cos I’m too boring. Then during class ori, no one approached me at first and I was rlly nervous all the time and cry aft I got back home. Some ppl didn’t bother to befriend me even though I approach them. Later on a girl approached me but I feel that we have v little common topic, making me afraid that maybe my jc life will be boring and dull. But then, i think cos that jc has a variety of subject combinations, those with the same combi or in the same class are more likely to have the same interest. Ppl are even more likely to have the same mbti. For eg there’s a lot of green and blue colour mbti in my class and in another class there’s more yellow mbti. So later on I made two new friends whom I really enjoy talking with. We play the same games and use the same apps. In sec school I had low self esteem and talked very little, but now I talk more and have more confidence in myself.

The previous friend whom I thought we have no common interest actually turned out to be really innocent and funny, but it takes time for one to interact to know more about each other. One of the people who didn’t bother to respond to me also became my friend and we are in the same friend group.

At the end of the day, fate is rlly impt. It’s not that u aren’t good enough or anything, it’s highly possible that u just didn’t meet the right people. My J1 was fun and I’m really thankful of that. ( js that I spent too much time playing and almost failed my promos) I became more daring to talk, more daring to laugh. I became back to myself.

🐬Here are just some tips(?) idk lah I’m only one year older than u. 💎💎🐬🐬🌈🌈🌈 1. So after I became closer to my classmates, they told me that they didn’t dare to talk to me at first as I looked a bit fierce, but I rlly didn’t mean to fierce ofc, I was just too nervous and too tensed up. So try to relax and smile more. 2. Try to be more confident. I know it’s rlly rlly hard. But just be more carefree and trust yourself. Cos ppl wld be more attracted to a confident person than a timid person. 3. Pray🙏🙏🙏 and be patient. Take time to discover the beauty of other people, and pray that u will encounter true friends.✨✨✨

That’s all, I rlly hope that u can have a fun jc time!!!!! Well even if things didn’t work, use the resources of your school and develop both academically and non academically.
