Basically the title. I have always struggled with socializing due to being uninterested in all of the people and social issues that came with school years, but now as an adult (25) going back to college I don’t know what to do. I used to be active in the local gaming community, but I realized that they didn’t seem to care once they made some changes that made me sincerely uncomfortable. Some of them still message me, but only about the game I used to play and never really about why I left.
I also want to add, I thought I was close with a lot of these people. I constantly wanted to hang out and be invited to events or social outings, but they never approached me about anything. They even suggested that I should get out more, and proceeded to plan events they didn’t ask if I wanted in on, even though I knew everyone in attendance. I later asked why they never invited me and they said they didn’t think I would like it, even though I’ve been known to attend parties or outings if invited.
I honestly just want a fresh start, but I don’t know where to turn.

I’m not the best for this but I currently go to university and have the past two years. I have found it easier at college only because the people around you can relate to you about one thing: college. I found I would talk to people close to me, wether it started with a question about the class or question about majors. Once I would connect with people within the same major we would end up taking a lot more and sometimes even studying. All I can say is put yourself out there, it seems scary but it’s worth it. I’m not the best at this still but I do put effort in and have made a few good friends so far! Joining clubs and staying active in college helps as well.
