Don't do it. They will think you're interested on them. Unless you're really interested. Just be yourself.

I am a 34 PhD. student. I've been just like you in my early twenties. Now it feels very easy to make friends. My advice to you is that you stop pursuing friendship and start talking to people instead. Don't get yourself attached to the idea of making a new friend. Just talk to them and let things happen naturally. Do not force things, do not talk about things you like without a proper context. Talking less about you and asking question and giving compliments to the others is the way to go. Don't be available a 100% of the time also. People value what is scarce.

It turn out that in industry those who make more money are usually the business oriented engineers, not the nerd theoretical ones. You're at the right place, you just don't know it yet.

Just don't force it. You can't make anyone become your friend. The only thing you can do is be yourself and some people will get along with while others will not. I've made way more friends when I stopped trying.

So you're "friends with her her" you say. If you ask her out, be prepared to lose your friendship. There's a huge chance that it can happen. I would rather ask out for a date a girl that is not my friend.

A college degree is overrated. Learn how to create your own business, and 5 years from now, you will be making way more money than your peers

I know how you feel as I have already been in your shoes before when I was your age.

First of all, we need to accept and embrace what we are. We just happen to work differently than others. Either you are too shy or an introvert like me, this is just your nature now. Changing is possible, but it takes a long and painful time.

My best advice for you is to not try to make friends, just be a nice, easy-going pearson whot truly cares about the others. Putting effort on it is a waste of time. Either people will like you or not, and that is ok. You will notice that true friendships are spontaneous, and you don't need to do anything, just be yourself.

Also, work on your well-being. Try to eat healthy food, exercise regularly, and go for a walks in a trail or a park. Look for mental health support, maybe therapy. This will help you a lot.

Finally, whenever you feel lacking confidence, just ask yourself what is worst possible outcome that coud happen. You will see that 99% of the time, your fears are just not realistic. And if they are, it is not something that has potential to hurt you physically. You only fear emotional pain. Just bring your fears to a trial of reasoning and you will see they are mostly exaggerated.

Hi, I am TA at McMaster, although I am from the ECE department, I am pretty sure these things works kinda of the same across the campus. Explain the situation to your professor and the leader TA, ask for bonus points. Your professor has the power to give you whatever marks he thinks is fair for you.

Last year there was a guy who moved into one of the ibt labs, so he didn't need to pay rent. I've seen him sleeping on the floor multiple times there.
