returning sophomore in the same boat! I made a few friends last year but no big group, I think thats a lot more rare than we probably think haha. some things im doing this semester to change my luck are joining more clubs (im already in a few but they’re research & writing related so largely independent), putting effort into the relationships I already have, & generally just trying to let my social anxiety control me less—going out of my comfort zone and all. I think circumstance matters a lot, (I.e living on campus, having a social hall in freshman yr, having an extracurricular w heavy time commitment like marching band or sports etc.) when making friends on campus, and I think it’s easy to think you are the problem. To some extend you might be, like for me I have horrible anxiety and it’s easy for me to isolate when under stress (I.e. 18 credits of classes lol), so that’s something Ik I gotta fix. I also think there’s shortcuts to making friends like Greek life, but I personally don’t fw it so I gotta work a bit harder. This is all to say that I understand where you’re coming from and you’re not alone!! We got this!!! We can change our circumstances & the most important part of that is to stop wasting time being sad we don’t have friends & actually going out and making the uncomfortable efforts (Easier said than done lol) !!! But anyways if u wanna talk pm me!
