<p>i'm about to enter senior year of college and i don't really have any friends. basically every year i have had a different experience and they've all ended badly. last semester i studied abroad, though, and had the best four months of my life and made some new friends, 2 of which who go to my college. i'm living with one of them and her friends but i feel embarrassed because she will find out i don't have any friends and i don't know if i'll fit in with hers. dhe also has tons of close friends in every aspect of her life and has already started ignoring me a little but probably because she is busy with them. i also am going to have a car this year so i'm going to try really hard to find an off-campus job to at least occupy some of my time.</p>
<p>in the past i have triedintramural sports, clubs, and different activities but i never really made any friends and to be honest there was nothing really out there that interested me. because of my experience i've learned to deal with loneliness better but the embarrassment of having no friends and living with people who do is what has really hurt me the past couple of years. i was just wondering if anyone had any new advice or personal stories for me. thank you so much for your help!</p>
<p>Well, that seems to be the way it is sometimes; making real friends with real emotional and personal interaction comes very easy for some while for others it just never seems to happen. I guess you could try to ask and observe those who seem to make good friends quite well and try to emulate their life in that regard. If all else fails, you’ll probably have to just come to peace with who you are and how your life is.</p>
<p>I somewhat regret not making any lifelong friends in college. I have acquaintances from college - people who were friends in college but nobody I really still talk to, or would invite to my wedding much less ask to be in a wedding party…you know. I spent too much time with my boyfriend and getting prepared for graduate school, and by the beginning of senior year I just wanted to leave. I didn’t even go to most of the senior events because I didn’t feel really close to anyone.</p>
<p>It’s okay. Like I said, I regret it, but I’ve made really great friends after college that I’m still close with and talk to. Your life’s not over. You can still make friends next year, and the years fter that.</p>
<p>I don’t know what to do either. It’s impossible to make friends because there is no interaction at my college. Hell it’s impossible to have a conversation with anyone because there’s no reason to.</p>
<p>And it’s all downhill from there. There’s never another point in life where you’re supposed to have the opportunity to meet more people than college.</p>
<p>One way to meet people is to get a job on campus. If you find a job where you work with a lot of other students, it’s a way to force you to interact with a lot of people, and friendships often form in those types of settings.</p>
<p>It’s funny because Americans are actually the easiest people to make friends with. I guess you have to really put yourself out there and learn to talk even about things that bore you. Make the effort! You can make loads of friends in a week, let alone 9 months</p>
