Be first day of uni

>be first day of uni
>too shy to approach anyone
>no one gives off friendly vibe
>if I try convo it dies immediately
I bet if I was in art or computer section people would've been more friendly
It sucks

I knew a girl who was popular in high school but when she got to college she turned into a shut-in then dropped out and became a NEET

I started college at 28 and it wasn't until the middle of my 2nd year where I started to develop a decent network of friends. My first year was just me, myself, and I. I think because freshman are just completely unrelatable and have that awkward fish out of water thing going. But yeah, I eventually made some friends and I'm so social butterfly.

Computer section is filled with normies

You britfags have no stiff upper lip

>computer section

I'm doing CS and literally everyone here is a turbo normie.

I guess all the aspies just learned programming on their own and didn't go to college.

I just transferred into college at 21 in August and I'm extremely anxious. I try to hang out with the people on my floor and my roommates sometimes but I end up being completely mute. I'm going to counseling but that's only just started. I've also been trying to exercise every day. Tell me how you did it, user. I don't want to suffer for an entire year.

things wouldn't be much better. At best they would be slightly nicer when you asked them something but that's it. Uni sucks for robots and the worst part is when you are alone you are less motivated. At least that's what happened to me and why I'm now stuck with zoomers in 1st year of compsci.

>be me
>just started studying engineering
>thought i would enjoy it
>don't

I'm not british, I'm romanian. Came here for uni only.

Honestly, I just stopped trying. When you're older than everyone else, people see you differently. I tried to be friends with people as equals, that was stupid. They won't befriend you in the same way as a peer, they don't see you as an equal. I just be quiet, did my work, and acted more mature than everyone else. I was helpful and open to talk to people of course. Eventually, people just gravitated towards me naturally.

This. Unless you go in with an established group of friends you're basically alone until you make the conscious effort to make more.
It's basically middle school all over again; super crowded, half the kids floating around are awkward as shit, 80% won't make it to the next level of education. What's different is that everyone has classes together in middle school so you'll see the same faces time and time again, but with college and uni there's no guarantees whatsoever.
Stacys from hs become shut ins, Chads become another drop in the ocean, and there is an overwhelming amount of sweaty degenerates. Try to find a cool group of nerds, it can be really hard, but join in on the convo and be out of your comfort zone for a bit, try new things. I found a nice little group where every couple of weeks we would meet at an apartment and just do shots while playing project m.

Today i saw two romanian people who share an english class run into each other in a shop, and commence a conversation in broken english, consisting entirely of stock phrases and conversational prompts they learned in the class.

Slovenija? Kje pa si, Lj ali kje drugje?

why do so many romanians go to the UK for uni?
my year at my college is 4% romanians for some reason

My uni has a huge amount of pajeets. My chem ta was a comp sci major because of course he was, and he never made a conscious effort to try to make his broken english better for us. He didn't even know how beginning scientific notation worked, so that was interesting.
Pajeets here are also chronically attracted to all of the latinas here, not even the attractive ones, its painful to even see. But to be fair I live in southern texas so the majority are pretty damn overweight.

i should be studying right now

>every couple of weeks we would meet at an apartment and just do shots while playing project m
Honestly, I'd be content with something like that for now. I like being alone but I want to have someone I can connect with at least sometimes, you know?

same but i've already skipped a bunch of classes. It's still early but i am fucking up big time

Idk, its the new trend since italy. Most of my parents friends and family came here...

Also, I think I'll start to accept my fate as being alone at uni.

Exactly, I'm not the type that really needs alot of human interaction to function, but having small bits of fun to look forward to is always a positive thing.
Y'all should try hitting up a random nerd table in a cafeteria, most are playing magic or some similar crap. Say some shit like, "do you guys play (game you like) too are are you all even bigger losers than me?" Minor self deprecating humor and a small jab at them is fun for alot of people, especially nerds confident enough to be nerds in public.

Like 50% of my cs course are fucking Romanian, idk why they all come here

Because romania sucks... its the new thing to go to uk, soon they'll find a new place to invade

I was gonna say mean things because you're an anime poster but I'm glad things are going good for you, user
study harder and, tell you what, "friendships are like plants. you gotta water it everyday"
