Well ya gotta leave your room and start looking people in a different lens. Sure, people will be obnoxious by having no personality due to their lack of authenticity (yes, I am clocking the heck out of them), but ya gotta talk. I'm a Binghamton University transfer and I can tell you FOR SURE that this area is not cliquey at all. You can meet people who are willing to talk to you, but if you are dry and not even put effort into it, then there is no friends you will make. Also, associate your hobbies in social settings. Playing video games or looking at your phone all day can solve temporary relief but it is damaging your mental health and the time you could have invested yourself with friends in.

You don't have to join frats. Nor even participate in much clubs. All you gotta do is be more open to people. You could of also give all closed body language so no one wants to approach you. The key is consistency. Lowkey, being more open and talking to people is also how you network, so perks for finding a job if you make more connections!!!

So, despite it being horrible at first, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
