Less then a year till college

[dapar321]

I dont have a lot of friends. I play a lot of video games and I do not go out as much as I would like. I have been battling my own war with my social phobia and all that fun stuff, and I just dont see the point in trying any more, because I am starting school in september. I feel as if I should just wait it out, and get a fresh start meeting new people.

I find that the more time I spend with people, the easier it is. On the other hand, when I'm isolated, I lose any social skills I may have had. I just can't think of anything to say because all the recent conversation I've held have been in my head.

I would use the high school classmates as practice shots, in preparation for the real deal in college. No one gets it right on the first try.

Dapar,

 

I just dont see the point in trying any more

 

You will find it very difficult to bond with other students if you walk into it with this kind of attitude. I know it is much easier to think negatively of yourself when you have recognized your shortcomings. However, as an adult, it is truly your responsibilty to take some kind of initiative. It is not an overnight process. Your college years are yet another milestone in life, but your experience should never be limited to one aspect of the lifestyle so to speak. You widen your knowledge, take on more responsibilities as an adult, and have the golden opportunity to learn a lot about yourself from others.

 

I suggest that you look into school clubs or the like that mesh with your interests. There is always something that connects one student with another, be it music, films, videogames, sports, or what have you. If you feel worn out by the interests you currently have, then take a risk - jump out of your comfort zone without a care in the world - and cultivate new interests. Sometimes we have to really open up to different aesthetics to grow mentally and perhaps spiritually.

 

If you go into college with an open mindset, you will enjoy each day.

 

Best of luck to you.

I definitely plan on going with the intent of making new friends, meeting new people, joining new clubs and everything, what I ment by not really seeing the point in trying now is high school-wise. I dont have a lot of good relationships in highschool, and I want to get a fresh start, and I see that being when college starts for me.

Thats basically how I felt when I was in high school, a fresh start. If your school requires you to live in the dorms, you will make plenty of friends. I still hang out with many of my ex floormates, its almost like we're a family since we practically lived together for a year.

If you're afraid of meeting new people, clubs are a good idea since they will immediately have the same interests as you.

Youre in your senior year of HS, all the girls are looking for a boyfriend before the senior prom.

 

You see the same people in your classes everyday, you should be able to find some girl around there that you fancy.

yeah the dorm is definitely recommended to meet people. The off campus apartments are generally alot nicer and cheaper, but the first year in a dorm with all the other freshmen you will meet a ton of people.
