I’m a sophomore in college.
I used to have friends, but I’ve been betrayed and even bullied before. After those experiences, I gradually lost interest in socializing. Now when people tell me jokes, it feels like a grain of sand sinking into the ocean—no real reaction from me. My social circle has gotten smaller and smaller, and most of my time is spent diving into philosophy.
But here’s the problem: when the semester starts, I’m supposed to be a class assistant for the freshmen.
The issue is, I’ve become very introverted and not good at interacting with people. The class I’m assigned to is mostly guys, and my partner is even worse at this than I am. I’m honestly worried that my personality will cause me to mess things up during this role.
Does anyone have advice on how I should handle this?
