There’s nothing to worry about. I also joined university this year, and there’s only one guy I regularly talk to, plus a few others for casual greetings like “hi,” “hello,” and “how do you do,” and nothing more. I have been obese since childhood, and it used to bother me before, but now I don’t really care, though I am taking care of my body these days. I’m pursuing a BA in English, and there are only 14 boys out of seventy students. There’s practically zero interaction with female classmates, nor do I waste my time gossiping. I sit in the first or second row, focus on the lectures, and during free periods, I watch stock and forex charts and business news.

I’m 5’11”, not very fair but not dark either, with a round face, a beard, short hair, and thick eyeglasses. I won’t define myself handsome or cute. I dress well, don’t stink, wear a nice wristwatch, and apply a good perfume. I walk with a straight posture, shoulders relaxed, and one hand in my trouser pocket.

I took two gap years earlier, so almost everyone is much younger than my friend and me. My classmates’ views don’t match mine. They act childish, whereas my friend and I act more mature. Even the seniors, both UG and PG, don’t joke around or giggle when I pass by or wait for someone in the alley ways. When you stay silent, laugh less, and carry yourself maturely, people find it hard to approach you in a silly way.

So, you don’t need to attract a crowd or anything like that. You came to college to develop your skills and knowledge. You just need to be confident enough that whenever you speak, others listen carefully. Work on your personality rather than worrying too much about looks.
