>parents want me to go to college (eurofag), it matters a lot to them so I said yes
>just realized I'm gonna be around a lot of young people
>I'm going to have to interact with them on group projects
>I'm going to have to do some public speaking shit

haha faglord you will hate the group shit so many dumb normie faggs

I literally just stopped showing up to my engineering group project and failed it. Also failed the year because never showed up again after that.

Do some big autist major. I'm doing math and in my first year I did zero group projects and had to present my solutions to the group around five times.
Comp scientist probably have similar numbers but other natural sciences do plenty group work.

>realized I'm gonna be around a lot of young people
how old are you

I need to succeed, I can't afford to fail since I've already wasted enough time and my parents want me to get the degree.
I was too late for applications so the only majors where there are still spots are things like languages or history.
I'm 20, should've said people my age but I can't relate to them at all.

>languages or history
If you really want to go in debt to eventually end up working in retail then fair enough my dude but I would miss that gay shit and aim to do something better next year.
Unless you can do some general studies and decide your major later but at least in my country that's not possible.

College is "free" here so debt isn't a problem
>aim to do something better next year
Yeah I'd like to switch to CS eventually but in the meantime I'm gonna have to deal with a lot of normalfag shit and that's not good especially since it's been more than a year since I last talked to someone my age

College is literally full of 20 year olds. You think you're the only person in the world who dicked around for 1-2 years after highschool?

I know that. The problem isn't age. I don't understand people and I want to be alone, and college makes that hard.

>college makes that hard
its very easy to keep to yourself though
except for the stuff you mentioned like group projects but its not like they want to become best friends with you, you just talk about the work for a little then you're on your own again

I guess. What I'm really worried about is public speaking, from presentations to just introducing yourself to the class

>hi i'm _ today im gonna talk to you about _
from there its just about knowing what youre talking about
literally everyone forgets it the second they leave the room

Im turning 23 next year and gonna be first year in uni coz I dropped out, are people gonna think Im weird and old...

I don't doubt my ability to talk about a subject competently
It's about not sperging out. When I speak in front of people I get fucking red, sometimes stutter/voice breaks, all the typical robot stuff. It's an embarrassment. That + I'm an empty shell of a person with no hobbies or interests so if people ask me about myself they're gonna think I'm a serial killer or something.

>I'm an empty shell of a person with no hobbies or interests
same m8 but all my class introductions thus far has just been saying your name, no one want to talk about their hobbies to a class.
As for the public speaking, again, people really dont care i you stutter sometimes or blush a bit, it means nothing to them and theyd probably sympathise. Most people get nervous talking to a group

Ok. Thanks for the encouragement. I hope there won't be too many super extroverted types in my classes still
Are english majors generally full of those?

All good brother
youll get nervous anyway, i do too, its just about pushing through it and you'll forget about it the next day
most majors have a couple of extroverted types, but its not too bad because
1. you already have a topic to talk about in the class (whatever the subject is) and
2. they do all the work of filling any awkward silences if they need
In all of my classes plenty of guys just sit there quietly unless someone calls on them and no one cares at all, everyone just wants to do the work and get out ASAP

Sounds good
Hopefully I can transfer to CS aka. the autism major after a semester anyway

you'll get used to it in no time either way
good luck friendo

Thank you, you too (with originality)

I'm starting to get to this realization myself OP except I'm almost 25. Though whether I go or not is still up for debate. I seriously want to just become a history teacher at my old high school. Except these last 5 and half years I have been a straight up recluse. I only leave the house once or twice a year. I have a huge gap, never had a job or anything. I graduated from high school and never left my house.

Being a shut-in takes its toll on your tolerance for social situations even after a year or so, you probably should try to become more accustomed to other people before going to college or it's gonna be overwhelming I think

Yeah, if I truly decide to go down this road it's going to be rough readjusting myself to people. It may sound stupid but with each year I find myself wanting this more and more. I didn't take it seriously the first few years. I felt I was just trying to find my way back to my highschool. It was a pleasant time for me, and I just wanted to go back. Lately since even 5 years later I still think about it and want it, starting to seriously consider maybe this is what I want, I really wouldn't mind working there until I eventually die. It's going to be a bitch trying to get myself out of this hole I dug myself into. I just hope it's not too late.

>I just hope it's not too late.
Generic answer but maybe talk to a therapist (male) if you're not sure if you can adapt to a more normal way of life.

>i am 1y older than others, i am a big boy

When did I say this you mouthbreathing retard? I said I couldn't relate to young people. Learn to read

>just realized I'm gonna be around a lot of young people

And where in that statement is the implication that I'm older than them? Dumb fuck

Go on and show me one teenager that call other teenagers young people.

I don't care about what you think is appropriate language for a 20 year old to use though
"People" is nonspecific and I wanted to emphasize the fact that I couldn't relate to younger individuals. Do I need to simplify it further for your pea brain, faggot?

Nah, i can see you were just born in wrong generation. I mean, ugh, music was so much better.

>maybe if I post shitty memes instead of making a point I'll get the last word
Whatever, retard. Last (you)

Hey, wanna go fishing and perhaps swoon some fine ladies after, if you know what i mean.

>he has to do group projects in uni
what the actual fuck? what do you study?

>what do you study?
literally anything? even in stem you do group work
