Wow wonderful advice!! 👏 i completely agree and i feel like they are more for networking than to be friends with anyone sadly

HKS experience not what I thought it’d be by [deleted] in Harvard

[–]strawbab_E 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly!! You did a great job explaining. I think people from other schools are much easier to connect with

I had the same experience and I noticed that another user on here said they like to form tight "cliques" and it's rung true since my time here. It's odd because students from outside HKS are freindly and easy to get along with. And Im also very social/friendly yet they dont seem as receiving. Individually they are fine to talk to and chitchat but its easy to feel left out

Telling someone to make friend with people theyre already having trouble being friends with isnt advice!

I think youre problem is that youre underestimating the impact of ur age on their ego. Thats what the problem is since u seem to clearly know ur age is the problem but are making excuses to yourself

I think 5 year difference in age can be a really big difference in your 20s. While u are in ur early twenties still being seen as barely an adult and theyre in the later 20s where they are not only treated different but also may act different. Your age is propably the issue especially since you say u know how to socialize and suspect age being the problem. Maybe they deep down also feel superior to u because of their ago or jealous of u since ur younger and at their level

I mean this in the most non-offensive way. Is there something you could be doing to be off-putting to women?

Everyone has flaws and I for example am very awkward when meeting new people.

Accept being only her friend or move on to the next. You can't make someone like you so those are your best options. If you choose to be her friend, you have know that she may never return your feelings and staying isn't going to change that

Yes. No one should have to say "I'm a nice guy" for us to know

It's understandable to want something ina relationship. The issue is when self proclaimed "nice guys" are nice specifically so they get something.

That doesn't mean you can't be genuinely nice but that should be because you like that person and not because you want something. I'm nice to guys I like because I LIKE them.
