Is it really this hard to make friends during college? I’m currently in my third year and still fail to have one single friend 🫩

I'm almost to the end of my first semester and the literal only person I've talked to was a girl that ended up ghosting me, I haven't had the courage or really care enough to talk to new people since then.

I find it so hard to make friends, it seems harder with every year. Don’t beat yourself up over it if you can, it’s not you. People just get really busy with their own lives. You could always download bumble BFF or something like that?

You’re not doing it right, you’re supposed to ask someone what their major is randomly one day and then follow them around in spaced out days until they like you

My freshman year I only made two friends and we barely talked outside of class. Sophomore year I ventured out more and I have 4 close friends and a few class friends in each class. It gets better you just have to be open to it

I didn’t really make friends until my senior year but I finally worked on my anxiety to start putting myself out there toward the end of my junior year and I joined a bunch of clubs and started utilizing some common spaces on campus more and now I have a nice, solid group of people to hang out with. I promise it can get better, it just might require a little more effort to do the things that scare you at first

This is my first semester and I went to a high school and struggled making friends and college is so much harder, I’m always scared to make new friends because what if they have previous and better friends and end up ghosting me, it’s happened 3 times semester alone, help a girl please🙏🏻

I don't either, all of my friends from high school do though. I think it's kinda funny to be sober at a party and watch drunk people act stupid though
