How to make friends in college because everytime I try to start a conversation people genuinely look at me like they don’t know why I even bothered approaching them

Honestly a lot of people have resting bitch face. I usually hit the people in my class with the “what’s your major?” and “what year are you in?” and introduce myself in turn I’m not gonna lie it’s incredibly stressful, but this is the time to work on the anxiety, and the only way out is through with this condition. Proximity in classes and clubs is the best baby steps. And if you’re dorming, start with people on your floor

I said yolo and stayed a loner, and I’m thriving. I made online friends to talk and play video games with to fill free times if im THAT bored.

Real then it feeds into the “I’m weird everyone thinks I’m weird and abnormal and an alien” thoughts

My first yr of college I was shy. I didn’t go looking for friends I stayed to myself. I slowly started meeting new ppl. I met a few ppl in the workout room, tutoring sessions and through my work study job. If someone is sitting alone just walk up to them and compliment their outfit, ask about a book (if they’re reading one)
