Is it normal that i don't fit in???

6 Comments

I know this question has probably been asked a million times but I just wanted to bullet some of the things my friends do and what I do. I go to college and it has been a very hard adjustment.

1. They only talk about themselves and their problems, never ask me if I am ok
2. They rarely invite me to go anywhere
3. I always text them or ask them to go to dinner or lunch with me; they rarely reply
4. I eat meals by myself most of the time
5. I always ask how they are doing but never the other way around
6. They sit on Twitter and Tumblr and discuss it together and never include me.

What do you think? What do you think I should do? Is this normal? Please help! Thanks!

    I am sorry man but these people are not really your friends. If they were they would at least feel like showing some more interest in you as a person. Don't blame yourself though, these guys simply seem too self-involved to make good friends anyway, which could be fine if you would have similar values, but you obviously do not. So Just try to change the type of people you associate with, especially in college this shouldn't be too hard.

    Sorry to hear this. These 'friends' sound like total idiots. Dump them, concentrate on being yourself, and real friendship will come to you. I wish you all the very best. Let us know how you get along,please.....

    It's happened to me. I want you to refuse to be disrespected by your peer group. It's not that hard to make new friends, esp at college. Work on your confidence. Believe me, it is so important when it comes to your social skills.

    OP, do you have any hobbies? If so, talk to someone in campus life or the equivalent and try to get involved in a club that sounds interesting.

    I was in a similar situation last year (I'm guessing you're a freshman?) and went and joined a couple of clubs, which worked wonders.

    And if you are a freshman, just go ahead and approach people as the chances are, a lot of them are in similar situations.

    They sound pretty selfish and self involved to me. You should be happy you don't fit into that group. Try making some new friends.
