<p>I am a 20 yr old undergrad at UNCC. Growing up I was always the loud person in the room whose life everyone thought was the epitome of perfect and had an uncountable number of friends. In reality, I was the one with the troubled home life and zero actual friends. I say actual because most people were friendly towards me, at least in person, but I never had people who when they thought about doing something with people, I came to mind.
I thought that college would be an opportunity to meet people and make some friends. A year and a half later, I have never done anything outside of class with anyone except for lunch between classes at the most twice with any one person, or meetings with clubs.
I don't know if its something I'm doing wrong, if I'm just generally not that interesting, or if people just really are "too busy." My fiancee wants me to have people over at our place and hang out, but no matter who I talk to or what we talk about, no one has time "outside of classes."
I am pretty distraught about the whole situation. I consider myself a native Charlottean, and most of the "friends" I had are now off in college somewhere else, or are just generally "too busy." Even one of my (hopefully!) groomsmen never has time for me!</p>
<p>Long story short, I feel like I have no friends, and I don't want to just start joining clubs and trying randomly at making friends. I talk to people in my classes, I try to get to know people, and I just am at a loss.</p>
<p>Help!
