Focusing on others (WHEN YOU’RE WITH THEM) is the key to having friends. When you’re alone, focus on maximizing that time for your own production/enjoyment. If you’re a freshman, the world is your sandbox. Go make a mistake. It might just be a miracle

You're not alone in that feeling, I haven't made a single freind and most of my day other than class I'm just alone.

Go out of your way to just compliment strangers or talk to them. A lot of people are desperate to make friends and will often talk to you if you start a conversation. The hardest part about making friends is convincing yourself to do it

I feel the same way. I think you should do what’s best for you and sometimes that means going home

Don’t worry as a senior it doesn’t get better. I thought I was making “friends” this year only for them to message me what to update them since this miss class or how to do an assignment. Just be yourself and don’t waste your time lmao

Im in the same boat bro you just gotta keep trying and hope for the best. Worst case you can just find a way to keep yourself busy to make it easier
