I have started my second year at a small university. I didn't make any friends last year and now I am spending all my time on my own and I am feeling really bad about this. There are no clubs that do anything that I would be interested so I am spending all my time doing things on my own which is making me feel really down.
I have not had any friends in years and I used to feel ok about this but recently this has made me feel really down however I feel really anxious in social situations and I do not know how to start to make friends or even start to chat to people so I feel traped in a cycle.
Is there anything like pilates or yoga clubs? I found those are the best places to find friends because people tend to be gentle and introverted in such groups. They often go for coffee after the session, doing that can help you make friends. It takes a lot of time though, don't rush it. By time, I mean going there week after week and gradually building up friendships. It's unlikely you'll make close friends instantly, especially in Britain.
