Why is it so hard to make friends at community college?

I started my first year in college since Fall 2015 and I’m currently in my spring semester. For the past six months I still have not made one new friend I can regularly hang out with. It’s weird because from Kindergarten through 12th grade I was able to make at least one new friend. Here I am in college, I feel so alone. I’m taking three classes and my classmates just show up to class and just leave the school. I’m talking about people my age (18 or 19 year olds), there are grown adults in my class but they have their own lives to deal with (kids, work, etc) which I understand, but I don’t see the whole point of befriending them because they’re 15 years older than me. I’ve seen college freshmen hanging out with friends they already knew in high school, I’m guessing they found their true friends already. For me, I have a only one friend I knew since middle school who goes to the same college with me but he and I never hung out outside of school. I invited him to the gym with me three times because I can bring a guest for free but he has work when I have free time and doesn’t seem interested. But he has time and fun with his other friends and post photos on Instagram. We never had each other’s phone number ever since 6th grade but I don’t want to ask his because I don’t want to sound desperate and he’ll think I have no friends, and was hoping he would ask for my number. Every time I go to the cafeteria, there is nobody I know in there. I end up ending alone. No one is willing to talk to me while waiting for class to begin. I tried talking to them but they conversation died within two minutes. Everyone is one their phones text their friends. I really want to go to a four year college where students actually have fun while learning. I guarantee that the first friend I will make is my college dorm roommate. My school there was nothing interesting for me to join clubs. Everything I do in school is done alone. (eating,studying,waiting,). My friends from in state universities never calls or text me to hang out. I haven’t seen them graduation which was 8 months ago. I’m really lonely and it’s so boring not having friends to hangout. What is wrong with? All i do is go to school, work, gym, home, do homework and watch TV. I wish I have friends just like that TV Show FRIENDS and How I Met Your Mother. My life is so boring because of this. I feel like a loser :frowning:

Try getting a part time job somewhere. It will take up some time and perhaps give you an opportunity to connect with other people.
Or try volunteering somewhere. There could be other lonely people who could use someone to talk to.
Don’t rule out those older students. We older people aren’t always so terrible to chat with when you are bored and waiting for a class to start.

Because nobody wants to make a lasting connection with people from a place they are eventually going to leave.
