<p>Wait so, were you with them when they were a. Eating alone b. Staying isolated in their rooms & c. going back to their families every holiday?</p>
<p>How do you know exactly what they were doing…unless you were there with them? Haha. Maybe they weren’t eating alone in their rooms - maybe they left after you were chatting up half the caf. Or maybe they were seeing old friends during holidays or planning Vegas runs? </p>
<p>You’re really thinking too much into this. They’re your roomies. Respect their space and their privacy.
OR, you could try talking to them.</p>
<p>People have different priorities in college. You can’t expect everyone to be uniform. That’s the beauty of college: there are an assortment of people with different likes and personalities.</p>
<p>Yes, you had lame roommates. Don’t listen to the people on here saying you didn’t; they’re probably the ones who sat in their room playing WoW all day.</p>
<p>Freshman year my roommate had a mental breakdown while studying and tried to attack me with a can of pepper spray he kept so he wouldn’t get raped while walking to his car…consider yourself lucky OP.</p>
<p>OP, at least your roommates didn’t lie to you, lie about you, try to get you into some serious trouble, betray you, and steal from you like one of mine did.</p>
<p>I can actually see where you’re coming from here. My college was hyped up to be a GIANT party school and what-not, but the “private residences” that I lived in (because dorms were full) had a mix of all kinds of people.
I lived with three other roommates in a two-bedroom apartment and we were fine. Not the best friends, not the worst, just good roommates. We respected each other’s opinions and what-not, did what one asked the other to do and got along fine. </p>
<p>One of them did always lock himself in his room/eat food alone/be on his computer ALL the time. That didn’t stop me from branching out and finding different things to do or make different friends.
Here’s the thing: You don’t have social anxiety or anything. You just haven’t found anyone who’s similar to you. When you do (and trust me, you will), it’ll feel completely natural and normal. If you’re on a big campus, just try to make reasons to meet people and most of the time, you can just tell by talking to them for 2-3 minutes whether or not they’d make a good friend to you.</p>
