Why is finding friends at college so hard for me?
I've been at college for almost three months now, and I haven't made any friends. It seems like everyone has people to hang out with now and I don't know what to do. I sometimes walk alone in the college, I have my meal alone in the cafeteria. I know I have to keep trying, but it's a horrible feeling wanting to cry every night, and I'm pretty sure I'm developing anxiety. I don't know what to do. I just didn't think college would be this hard, I thought it would be as awesome as people said. I'm studying at a college that far away from my home. I just don't want my parent to worry so I didn't manage to tell them about this. I feel so helpless now, what can I do?

    College isn't about making friends. You should feel lucky you don't have people constantly ruining your studies. :)

    Throw yourself into your studies. That is why you are here. You will begin to meet people and things will work out. Relax and do not push it.

    Its not that hard all you have to do is say the right things I have about two friends in college because its enough people to not be seen as a loner and get negative attention and its enough for me not to be noticed in a positive way. I only have friends so I dont be seen as different and so I can fit in I couldnt really care less about them. All in all if I could be a loner without anyone giving me any attention or even noticing me then I would. Look for a small group figure out how to approach them and what attitude to have and once you figure that out approach them its easy.
