social anxiety is real!!! try going for a walk and start by smiling at random people that pass you, work your way up to saying hi and starting a conversation! i always do a compliment and then ask where they got an article of clothing! if you see them again maybe ask if they want to hang out. making new friends is scary and rejection is hard but it could lead to new long lasting friendships!

sit next to randos in class that you’d think you’d like and just make conversation then ask for their socials if it’s a good convo

I’m silent and look mean but I’m on campus all day bro… if you get the chance try to make that friend, most people need more interaction you’re not a burden

just remember that everyone is trying to find their people! doing little things like introducing yourself or saying hi when people walk by makes a huge difference! i know it sucks rn but most people are pretty friendly since they’re trying to find their people too!

you’re valid for struggling to make friends (I sympathize with you)— social anxiety and depression suck ass :( something that’s helped me make friends is talking to people in classes, complimenting people on campus otw to classes, and doing events around my college town that aren’t necessarily college-specific (maybe a game night, trivia night- I went to this adult coloring night thing). It can be scary, AND you got this!! Best of luck friend 🫡❣️
