<p>(sorry if it is too long) During my freshman year I did not care about having friends, I just focused on get good grades. However, for some random reasons, during my second semester, I met a girl who became my friend (actually, I love her). During summer I realized that no one cared about me except for that girl. And now that sophomore year has started, I tried to be more involved with the university, but it looks that I cannot get any friend at all, I know people, but they are not exactly my friend with whom I can hang out. I began to hate Fridays, because everybody talks about parties and their social life, and me, just going to home to do homework. I even began to feel depressed, because people do not care about me, no one call me, I am just so sad and irritated. And the worst thing that have happened now, is that girl that i love, has a "rich boyfriend", and now I feel like the most unhappier,fool, stupid person of the universe. I don't know what else to do, sometimes I think that maybe i don't have friends because I've never live in campus at all, since my freshman year I've lived with my parents. But also I see people who live off campus and they have tons of friends, they have a good social life. I just don't know, sometimes I cry alone thinking about my social life, about that girl, maybe she did not see me as a boyfriend because I am kind of shy, and if it is the case maybe i will not have a girl to love, I just feel so bad. It was not always like this, during high school I had tons of friends, and even a girlfriend, but now I felt just miserable, I joined clubs, I talked with class mates, I even did volunteers, but it does not works, except for that girl. I am just desperate. Please, could you tell a good advice, i really need help.</p>
<p>Ok… Um… Warning: What I am about to tell you is bad advice and illegal if you’re not 21. </p>
<p>I was a shy kid during my freshmen year. Just like you, I focused on good grade and stuff… Then, upon reflection, I realize how pathetic my life is. One day, I signed up for a fraternity and got a text about a party. They came to pick me up and… well, let’s just say I realize the power of alcohol. IT TAKES AWAY THE SHYNESS! </p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, I am not telling you to get wasted during class hours or when you’re suppose to be studying or driving. Just saying, it wouldn’t hurt if you take a shot or two while you’re somewhere social (volunteer work, school clubs, parties and such). That’ll take away whatever that’s holding you back from talking to people and break the ice with them. </p>
<p>That’s what I’ve been doing and it’s working great. Like I said, it’s bad advice. Follow at your own risk.</p>
<p>As for the girl, forget about her, dude, and move on. You never made your move and now it’s too late. Coming out to tell her now will only force her to take a few steps away from you.</p>
<p>The girl has a “rich” boyfriend? That could indicate that she’s shallow.</p>
<p>Don’t feel so bad about it.</p>
<p>Drash thanks for your answer, you know I was thinking to do that, maybe I will text some dude that I know (is not my friend at all, but we are something like that), and I will tell him to invite me to some of his parties, which includes alcohol. Hopefully he is gonna call me for the next Friday .</p>
<p>Hauteclere, thank you for ur answer as well. But u know, I met her boyfriend (reason for which i know hi is rich), but he is a friendly, and he even made some favors, fact that made me feel even worst, 'cause I was trying to hang out with that girl, and at same time I was stabbing a knife in the back of her friendly boyfriend, I felt like a disloyal monster for that. However thank you for trying to help me.</p>
<p>I hope to read other advices</p>
