Feeling Cursed?

I’ve recently moved to a new place and started uni. it’s been very hard for me but i’m proud of what i’ve achieved. I’ve never been someone who has been good at making friends and i’ve never had more than two friends at a time. i cannot stress to you how hard I have tried since the start to make friends. I’ve had so many conversations that i have tried my best to ask the person questions also and seem interested. I’ve hung out with people on a few occasions and i’ve also exchanged instagrams with lots of people i’ve had conversations with. I’ve even gone up to people in my class and had conversations with them i’ve actually shocked myself with how much i’ve been trying to talk to people because i’m not usually like this. But for the life of me no one wants to be my friend, i just want someone to talk to or hang out with sometimes but no one seems interested in me when i try to initiate anything. What makes it worse is that everyone except me has a friend and i mean everyone. It feels so so unfair because ive put so much effort into this, way more than any of them because they can just do it all so effortlessly. I really am starting to feel like maybe i’m just going to have to get used to feeling like this forever and i’m just meant to be solo. 

  • I’m sure you have future friends out there. Don’t give up hope. I hated university and the social side , I just wanted to do the study really and the social side really messed me up. Knowing what I know now I would tell my younger self not to worry about socialising and concentrate on the work.  I know some people go to university to socialise but I didn’t and having to fit into all that was terrible for me at the time.  What you could do to meet new people is to join a society or something like that. Or maybe try to meet people who are not students. Don’t give up hope tho, I bet you’ll find some friends when you’re not even trying.
