<p>Sometimes, you have to be straightforward. You think they're messing around and ditching you? Forget about them. Your time is too valuable and life's too short to be worrying about what's going on with them. If they are making you uncomfortable, then forget about them. </p>
<p>Go out and meet new people, but remember, don't try to be too comfortable with them. What I mean is, be nice and social, but don't force yourself to be too nice in the beginning. Begin smoothly and try to know new people, but that's it. Be smart about who you talked with that day and try to see who seemed genuine and who didn't. I know this can be hard to do by seeing them just the first day, but try.</p>
<p>This may sound superficial but at least this is the way I follow. The reason why I do it like this is because I am the type of person who becomes so nice when I meet new people. I don't even realize it. In the beginning of college freshmen year, (I am a freshman right now) I was excited and desperate to make new friends. I met some people and was so into them and lost sense of control. After winter break, my opinion about them changed; I discovered new things about them that made me comfortable. They weren't the most genuine people, and this led me to great disappointment. </p>
<p>I learned it the hard way. But if there's one thing I learned is that in everything you do, have balance. When you meet new people, don't force yourself to think that you will become best friends with them. Become acquaintances with everyone and just be chill, then sort your way out and figure out yourself those people whom you think really clicks with you. Again, I made the mistake to force myself to be best friends with the first couple people I met in the beginning of college and then to realize that I don't find them to be my best friends anymore. </p>
<p>So coyote77, just forget about them and start fresh. Sometimes, we have to learn it the hard and uncomfortable way, but hey, in the end, we are learning.</p>
