Is it normal that i tried hard to make friends at college but i can't

The way I made friends in college was that I just focused on my work and was very passionate about my classes. I never said, "Ok, I'm gonna befriend X and we're gonna be bffs".

People would ask for my help, I'd be friendly, we'd start talking and it flowed from there. Focus on your work, be ambitious, and whatever you do, do -NOT- be gloomy. Be cheerful! A friendly attitude attracts friends but a lonely one breeds loneliness.

It's a self-defeating attitude and will destroy you. Good luck.

It is tough . I recently started college after working a couple years in the oil field . It sure is different , I would say don't focus on the people in your class . Try doing some after school activities or clubs , it might help you meet some new people . And don't be to depressed , it's a new experience and it is bound to be difficult for a bit . Hopefully it gets better

You're better off without friends. If all they do is make fun of you and laugh at you, just ignore friendship and focus on your college education.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I think its better to be alone than to have "friends" that talk about you behind your back. Ur worth more than that. I know that option is lonely, but eventually it will all work out. (it always did for me, anyways)

If they make fun of u smack the shit out of them and tekk em your there dad...no really,lol it works

Don't worry too much about the future, just focus on the now. As for making friends, join clubs or groups, do your own thing, do things that give you something to talk about yourself. Make small talk with others in your class, make yourself seem open and put yourself out there a bit. For friendships to form, sometimes it takes as little as a couple hours, or it could take as long as a couple months, or even a year or so.

As for those making fun of you, don't let it get to your head. It can be hard, but trust me, nothing will piss them off more than seeing you hold your head high. They may continue to make fun of you... only to mask their insecurities. :P

Join a club. I am in the same position right now. I often go to the gym and talk to the people working out. You should give it a shot.

I've also just started college. Honestly, I think the problem is that you're trying. You shouldn't have to look for friends. Just do things that you enjoy, join clubs, focus on your classes, and friends will come.

me too. I blame my teachers. Thy lecture all day and we have to take notes all the time. Theirs no time to socialize with other students. Fml.
