i am a freshman in college. i commute every day to my classes. Most of my friends have all left to different colleges, and we don't talk anymore. I also havent dated in two years. I am also a shy person, but also very funny. However, i feel very alone. I have alot friends i talk to every now and then, but none that i feel like are true friends. I cant describe how im feeling too well. I guess i just feel kinda lonely. I have a part time job to try to keep myself busy on top of my classes. Does anybody have any words of wisdom that could give me that little boost i need to cheer up? please and thank you.
im a little younger, but in the same exact situation. I think keeping busy is the best thing you can do... I've noticed that on days when I'm totally swamped with work and everything, my mind stays off of the other stuff. another thing, maybe you should go out to some bars or clubs? try and meet new people. you say you're shy, well, maybe bring a guy from one of your classes with you that isn't so shy. so you have a wing man. find things you like to do, and do them more often, maybe you'll find people with the same interests. go to a college party, (you don't have to drink), and find someone from one of your classes, maybe start a conversation about an assignment,or the professor. maybe it's not the greatest advice, but I hope I gave at least one good suggestion! good luck to you, and I know there's a girl for you somewhere. I believe that there's someone for everyone. (:
