My college life just started as a freshman, and in our college we have a system where we have the same classmates in the same classes for the duration of our stay. Even though it’s been weeks since school started I haven’t been able to make friends in our group and it even seems like they don’t want to talk to me. They’ve already made their own friend groups and I’m the only one who feels like an outsider.

I tried to approach each and every one of them to see if they wanted to talk or make friends and each time they don’t feel like doing so. In fact there was never a time where I was approached by someone else, it always seems like I’m the one going to them. Every time I go to school I get more and more demoralized, and I hide it with a smile when I’m in front of them so as not to look negative or give off bad vibes, but I’m getting more tired.

Honestly I’ve been having a hard time since grade school, and nobody wanted to be my friend even before, for reasons I don’t know. Nothing’s changed since then, and all the “friends” I made disappeared once the school year was over. I don’t know why but I’ve tried everything I can do – speaking to them, going on outings, playing games, and still nothing. Should I just give up and accept that nobody’s going to like me?

  1. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way

    Making friends can be tough, especially in a new environment

    Don’t give up just yet, sometimes it takes time to find the right people who appreciate you for who you are

    Keep being yourself and eventually, you’ll connect with others who share your interests and values.

  2. People want to have cool interesting friends.

    >see if they wanted to talk or make friends

    I don’t know if you literally go up to them and ask them if they want to be friends, but people would generally have several good experiences with you before being friends

    Making friends can be tough, but don’t give up just yet

    Keep putting yourself out there, and remember that it’s not about finding a big group of friends, but finding the right ones who appreciate you for who you are

    Hang in there!
