BlueSoul Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 My heart feels hollow. I never felt this empty before. I've been mostly alone since the first day of college because none of my close friends go there. I do have some basic friends who go to the same college as me, but I feel that I've rejected in a way, because I believe they think I'm a snob. I've been so reluctant, that none of this was my fault (maybe most of it were of my responsibilities). I tried to get adquainted to by close friends by msn, but I sensed that somehow they're avoiding me. I asked one of them if they would like to go to the movies, but he said he would. What is going on in my reality? It's almost like my worst dream ever.
Ernst Quale Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 As harsh as you may think this sounds, get over it. Welcome to the twenty-somethings. Friends are hard to come by at this time, mostly because everyone your age is in "dog-eat-dog" mode and is trying to get their own lives on track. This is not your fault, and making friends at this time is definitely a daunting task. The best thing you can do is stop feeling sorry for yourself and realize that you're more independent than you think while still seeking out friends. Don't take just anyone though; get to know someone very well before you commit to a friendship with them, because college students are often out for themselves and will not be afraid to use you. Trust me!
SK-banana-num2 Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Sounds like you should make some new friends then. About the snob thing, uhh just give it some time and they'll get to know the non-snobby-you?
Vintage106 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I agree with Ernst when they said that college students are often out for themselves and will not be afraid to use you. I have definitely learned that in college! I had a ton of friends at the beginning and then suddenly, they started to weed out. Now, I have no friends. Not one. Everyone is just too selfish and busy with their own lives, that they don't even realize you were even in their life. I was the "last resort" friend for a while. When a friend didn't have anyone else to do something with, they called me. I eventually starting telling them no. I'd rather be lonely than be used.
