I’m a pretty isolated person and have one friend, who obviously won’t spend all of his time with me, which means in that time I have to make my life interesting. I’m in college (22) at the moment, but partying and clubbing aren’t my thing and neither are they a thing for the majority of students at my uni (classical musicians yk). **So how can a socially anxious 22y/o make their life exciting?**
At least once a week, since all I do in my life is study, practice, uni, sleep and eat. Fun.

I guess it’s a good start to consider – what you find interesting or exciting?
From what you said, you are a classical musician – have you ever tried setting up in a park, away from campus, and just playing? You don’t even need to take tips, just experience people’s reactions.
One morning, taking the subway to work, there was a quartet in a station, as I passed them, I caught what they were playing. Ruhe Sanft! I couldn’t believe it, a genuine B Side of the Mozart Playbook, which happened to stop me in my tracks. I missed my train, and didn’t care, I wouldn’t have missed a single brilliant note. I fought and lost, I was all misty eyes, moved, and better for it.
That chance encounter was memorable enough to write about now, and are experiences you can facilitate for others. Get out there, remember to say ‘yes, and’ to keep good things going, and you’ll be surprised by how people will react to you just being talented you.
Feel like the main character in your life, feel like your in a movie of your life, romanticize daily things. You know? Also make some small changes once and awhile, and appreciate small things, like maybe a pretty cloud or a bird chirping. It makes things fun
Well you can make the things you already do more exciting. Try to see if anyone wants to study or practice with you at times
join club’s and events make friends and once you have made friends they will invite you to stuff and you could stop there and say this is exciting enough BUT NO it’s not make more friends invite them to stuff. Also you could try and be friends with a crazy Amy we all have a crazy Amy in our lives. ( yes I know this made no sense )
Or just watch Yes man
