If it helps, it isn’t easy for most people to make friends. I had to take years of baby steps to make friends to get where I am now. Keep your emergency meds on the ready and continue to take risks on people. Approach people you think are cool. Ask someone in your class if they like your interests. Go out to a place you love and say hi to as many people there as you can. Anxiety makes very small things your entire world. So in the same vein that everything is scary, nothing is too bad.
