see logically i know it’s by consistently spending time with someone until you feel comfortable together and know about each others lives, BUT i feel i need a more detailed tutorial

Talk to strangers. If you manage to connect with someone, tell them something you’re doing later in the week. Don’t say “Let’s hang out sometime” SAY A PLACE AND TIME. Maybe you can hang out more, and maybe something will happen :)

I need friends so bad 😔 I’m a freshman and I haven’t made a SINGLE friend! I’m just super socially awkward and I haven’t really found anyone with similar interests or wants to actually be friends.

I know it’s cliche but Greek life really helped me meet people, you won’t match with everyone in the organization but you will find people who match you! Also join clubs and be active within them it can be hard at first but it really will help, don’t be scared to just go up and talk to randos 9/10 they will be happy to make conversation

Why would anyone want friends? Friends are overrated… But same way you’d get a girl i assume? except instead of commenting about their shoes or nails, tell him he has a nice ass or pecs I guess… ask about his work out routine, what supplements he takes or some shit.

Don’t worry! You’ve still got plenty of time! I’m a senior and I feel like this is the first time I’ve had a consistent friend that I could hang out with outside of class. Also talking to strangers apparently works, especially if it’s somewhere you notice them a lot.

Oh trust me you got this! I’m literally a sophomore now and still feel like a freshman because I haven’t found my crowd yet and all the ones I did meet ended up moving into apartments 🥲 Eventually your time will come just don’t let yourself overthink it too much or you’ll burn yourself out.
