Am I just doomed to have no friends and never make it?
ask for help dude, i'm sure people will be more than willing to help you improve
Easton Hernandez
This. Get out of the mind set of people don’t talk to me and into the mindset of I didn’t approach others and talk to them.
Liam Walker
I'm 21 and just started a PhD, I don't know anybody here and nobody talks in my office. Due to a housing fuck up I have been placed far from any other students too so I don't meet anybody through my accommodation.
Last term sucked and I'm trying to improve things this term but it's hard user

Walk up to one of the guys doing 'insane spiderman shit' and say 'Hello, i'm a beginner, how did you start training to become able to do this cool stuff?' Fucking autists I swear on me mum
Charles Wood
Bro, change your attitude. What are you thinking? Do we respect newcomers in the gym? No we dont, we respect when they become sick cunts, when they change from resolutioner to regular.
Youre the new guy there, and you cant do shit. You want to make friends there they have to start respecting you. Put in the work, become a regular, show them youre dedicated and willing to improve and Im sure theyll start liking you.
Jeez dont expect things to be handed to you on a golden platter. And most certainly stop thinking youre doomed after 1 try
Sebastian Price
FUCK WHY IS YOUR SOB STORY MAKING ME CRY WHAT TEH FUCK.
Brayden Scott
This is good advice. Also maybe try a sport that requires you to talk to people, such as team sports, dance, or maybe a martial type deal(pls do a legit one). Either way do your best m8

Clubs are a meme for FAs. Just gotta deal with and learn to be alone.
Aiden Parker
dude you're 21 already in a PhD program. that's pretty good. take good care of yourself, stop being inside your head so much and try to initiate conversation. don't think too lowly of yourself
(that being said congratulations on getting out of your comfort zone and having the guts to go by yourself)
Cameron Wilson
>> Fucking this, 100%
Aiden Gomez
And you approach people and theyre like "wtf do you want get away from me". Most people aren't interested in talking to an FA because it doesn't raise their social status
William Reed
If you unironically think this, then you need to get off of Jow Forums. That is most definitely not the thought process of 99% of people
Justin Gray
One you’re a faggot, two what’s a FA
Austin Jenkins
Fat Asshole
Wyatt Bailey
that's pretty sick, I'm late with my masters and even on time I would have been 26. Hell, even if I started just after I finished high school I would have been 23, how the fuck are you on the phd already?
Christian Thomas
I'm a Fat Asshole and got married.
What's your excuse?
Easton Morris
Keep showing up, it will get better.
Ryan White
Dude are you me? I swear sometimes I think I have an aura of sadness around me that makes me undesirable to normies even though I initiate contact all the time and am considered a pretty funny guy
Jaxson Mitchell
Subconsciously it is.
Christopher Miller
Forever aloner, fa
Caleb Bell
how much older?
Ian Anderson
>I'm 21 and just started a PhD Found your problem, you’re full autismo mode. I envy you desu
