F/18, just moved to university, living in a dorm with 20ish other people in my block.
I moved from a small regional town to a big regional town, with only 1 friend here, problem is she’s not in my college.
I’ve made 1 friend, he’s great and a social butterfly.
My problem is that people in my block established friend groups VERY fast, and anytime I try to be nice or talk to them they shut me out and don’t show interest in talking to me.
It’s honestly really sad but I was bullied for a long time, 8yrs-16yrs old for being weird,fat,liking weird things , I had just come out of my shell in year 11 and made heaps of friends— I was actually pretty popular.
But now, coming from a low socioeconomic background being surrounded by people who could not be more different to me, I’m really struggling, I’m worried maybe they could tell I’m from a poorer background and maybe that’s why they don’t like me??
This whole post is very sad tbh, but I need help. My mental health has become so poor since being here I know I need to make a change immediately.
Please help.
