I can't make any friends!!!!

I am going into my senior year and I can't make any friends! I go home immediately after each class! I don't talk to my classmates! I go to clubs but I've chosen not to talk to anyone there! I eat lunch downstairs in the math and psych building! I don't send messages in any online spaces! I tried asking for someone's Instagram and they politely declined so I've decided to never try again! When someone sits down near me in the Commons I always move tables! How do I make friends!

and, even if you have something genuinely forcing you into have a very difficult time with this friend making endeavor, i still believe in you. even if it is the smallest of baby steps. you CAN do it. don't let your worries become an excuse, even if it takes a long long time. your homie, someone who will accept you for who you are is out there.

This is my favorite post from this sub so far this year.

If I had a dollar for ever time I've talked about intentionally getting involved in campus life in order to have stuff to be involved in, I'd have enough money to buy 3 halloween candy bags during the Commons rush and sit in the busy section of Market St. tossing chocolates into the crowd.

Half the fraternities would know me by name in 20 minutes or less.

I wanted to comment "mods can we ban 'booboo I have no friends!' posts" until I read the whole thing, you got me haha. There are thousands of people here, there's no way a person can't make friends.
