Making friends help?

<p>Just a note, I'm not trying to bash the school I'm going to, but it's just how I feel right now. This is also a continuation from a previous thread I made.</p>

<p>I'm attending Oklahoma State University as a freshman, and I'm just hating it. I originally chose this school because when I had visited, it was extremely welcoming and people were super friendly, I also wanted to be able to come out of my "shell". I loved visiting Stillwater, it started to feel like the home away from home. My parents thought I felt this way because I was homesick within a few weeks of moving there talking about how awful it was, but it seriously has not changed a day since I've been here.</p>

<p>The school itself is awful, nobody is friendly, it's almost as if they put on an act when we were visiting. I have only met one friendly person in this school, and that's my roommate. We both haven't really made any other friends here, and it sucks.</p>

<p>It's just, I dunno. I've tried joining clubs and groups to get to know people, but nobody seems interested in talking to me. I just regret moving here. I haven't had a day where I haven't felt super lonely. I noticed that most of the sorority girls tend to flock to other sorority girls, and majority of the girls in my classes are in sororities and if I try to talk to them without wearing some sort of sorority shirt, they just walk away ignoring me.</p>

<p>I'm definitely transferring next semester back home to a community college to get my basics out of the way, but I'm fearful that I'll just run into the same predicament as I did at OSU. I want to make friends, I really do, but I just can't seem to do it at all. I can't help but wonder if something's wrong with me.</p>

<p>I'm really shy and all, but I'm actually trying to talk to people, which is something I have issues doing. I'm just not sure what to do, and I want to prepare myself before I transfer so I can get a good idea on how I could make new friends at this community college.</p>

<p>Help anyone :(?</p>

<p>You need to venture outside your comfort zone … breakaway from your innate fears of rejection and embrace an assertive mentality. If a lingering disability is interfering with your ability to secure and maintain friendships, consider seeing a psychologist to talk it over. Consult with your primary care physicians to rule out any underlying health complications. A thought-mediated intervention can do wonders in improving your personal reality.</p>
