I’m starting my 3rd year in college and I feel anxious because I’m scared of feeling the same loneliness I felt last year. Last year I was depressed and everyday just feel like wanting to cry so I kind of isolated myself a little which made things even worse.
I feel like everyone in my class likes me or most people, I’m not really introverted and I get along pretty easily with people but my classmates are not my friends and I don’t hang out with them outside of class I just have casual conversations with them and that’s it.
I know that for one part this might be that I actually wanted to go to class to learn and not mess around in the back so I always sat alone because I’m the only one sitting in front.
So this year I definitely don’t want to feel as alone as last 2 years and I want to make some friends because I study away from my hometown so in the city where I study I literally have no one.
What worries me the most is if it’s too late to get inside of a group in college because it’s already 3rd year and some groups in my class I feel like they are way too closed so that’s what worries me and how would you guys become part of some friend group?
