I’m (21F) going into my senior year of college and I really want to try to form a good, quality friendship before I graduate next year. I do better mentally when I am social but it’s very difficult for me to put myself out there due to insecurity. It seems like everyone around me who I’d want to learn more about is so put together— like they all speak so eloquently and have passions and plans for their futures. I lack motivation and ambition, and am really just focused on getting through each day. I feel like I can’t keep up with my peers, so why would any of them want to spend energy on interacting with me in their free time?
Any advice on how to force myself to just start a conversation with someone?
