Before I say anything, I’m aware that it’s not really the best years of your life and things can get better the more you age but I’ve felt that I’ve always missed out on life. I had a bad early teen years, no friends, in and out of psych wards, diagnosed with adhd and ocd, basically a lot of struggles. Whilst I’m much better and in college, I feel that I’ve missed out on so much. I haven’t gone to a party, barely hung out with people, never had a significant other or stable friendships.
Right now, I’m only two months into college but I feel very behind. I’m struggling to make friends, I have “friends” but not any real connections and get intense fomo seeing what everyone else does. I really struggle to reach out and ask to do stuff with people. Any advice? I’m sick of sitting in my dorm alone and feeling bad about myself. I don’t want to be behind on life anymore and want to enjoy the last two years of my teen years.
