Thread 33496277

I just started my Junior year in uni. I've made no friends and really don't have anything to show for the last two years, and in turn the years have flown by in the blink of an eye. It feels like I've always heard about how college is supposed to be a great moment in your life, but for me it's just another movie I'm watching happen around me. People are making friends and going out and having fun, living out dreams I've always dreamed of, and making the most of their lives.
I NEED to turn this around before I graduate because I've been a loser my whole life and I honestly can't stand it anymore. Any advice on how to make friends/join a social circle and in general start experiencing life?

My advice would be to join a club that interests you (clubs are the best way to make friends) and then talk with the people there and invite them to hang out (movie night, board games, party, whatever you like doing)

I'd rather not. Coming to terms loving your own company is way more worth it than needing people. People pleasers are literally some of the most miserable people in the world. They go one day without pleasing anyone in the simplest way, they go insane. Literally insane over first world problems.

I did try joining a couple clubs but didn't end up becoming friends with anyone. Though maybe it's because I joined them late, and the nature of the clubs I chose. I'll give it another shot this semester and just join as many different ones that interest me as possible lol

I understand where you're coming from, and for a while I was content being alone, but recently it's gotten too much for me. I'd rather experience that life for a while and not have a good time than regret never trying it.

Thank you for the responses :)

The second part of actively socializing is important, especially because your age cohort is so much less social than other generations. You will likely have to make the effort to initiate conversations, plan activities, and invite people to join in on those activities

Yeah what used to be considered an absolute loser 25 years ago is just a little bit worse than the baseline nowadays.

Drugs. No.
Seriously.
Being high can teach you a fuckton.

>Drugs
I've actually never drank or done drugs which hasn't really done me any favors. Unironically good advice lol

Just don't go overboard with it. Moderation in all things, like Hippocrates recommended

Words fail me, so I won't read any further.

I mean, I've gotten pretty much perfect grades and am indeed gaining the knowledge of my degree. That's obviously not what I meant in the post though.

For sure

>>at university, presumably to study
People go to university for these things, in order:
- getting a piece of paper (degree) that tells your future employer that you have what it takes to keep up with a job for a few years (and university doesn't actually teach that, but only selects those who already had it);
- networking and socializing;
- actually learning some of the stuff that you have to study

If the only goal was learning, everyone would do it at home instead of blowing their money on an institution. The actual purpose are the degree and the connections, especially if it's humanities. I'm sorry but OP is failing in that, therefore he's not actually getting the most out of university, no matter how good his grades may be. He'll just end up with more wasted years.

I went out so much that I burned out of 2 colleges and only have a 2 year useless degree. Go to college with the intent and purpose of getting a job and I don't mean getting a degree so you can apply, like get an internship, make connections professionally and if you spend any energy socializing try to wife up some cute college chick.
