read this book ASAP:
“Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
read the words of great people. I understand college provides plenty of required reading. but grab something like Rumi or Hafiz, MLK, Gandhi, the Dalali Lama, or read what Buddha taught, or Jesus. i'm not saying to indoctrinate yourself into any religious or philosophical mode. but these resources will enlighten your sense of the social self. when we can see things in retrospect, we can choose to place less emphasis on fears as we are confronted with them.
cuss alot. never become a smoker, but smoke cigarettes once in awhile. you need to rebel against the walls of yourself you have been building up. if you want a personal revolution, i'm not telling you to be irresponsible with your health or family or obligations. but in your personal time, time you spend lonely and feeling like you don't fit in; USE THAT TIME to find your mojo man.
I have no friends in college and I feel extremely lonely and depressed
