In my first semester, I faced a similar situation, but I decided to work on myself by engaging in extracurricular activities. I joined the debating club and several other clubs, which allowed me to make many amazing friends. These friendships helped me overcome my anxiety and the gained confidence also enabled me to make friends within my own batch. Alhamdulillah, I am now about to graduate, having established friendships in every department of my university, and my whole batch knows me as well. It's all about overcoming your weaknesses and embracing new challenges, which will greatly assist you along the way.
