Genuinely how do you make friends in college I’m so tired of having no one to talk to. My neurotypical classmates all seem to talk to each other so easily and I feel like every time I try to talk to them they just seem annoyed or do small talk at most.

same! I’m a senior and I haven’t made any friends. I’ve made acquaintances and people I talk to in class but I cannot get past that stage into actually hanging out and talking outside of class. I joined a club and still no luck :/

Came here to say this. First semester friends (dorm neighbors, roommates, and classmates) really don’t stick around. My best friends are the ones I found over time via shared interests and clubs are a great way to do that

I have joined a few clubs and that’s helped a little bit because I have people I can socialize with when I’m there but I don’t hangout with them outside of the meetings or anything like that. I don’t really know how to approach people to ask them to hang out. Or how to tell if they would want to

Maybe see if any of the people you see or talk to frequently from meetings would want to grab food or coffee when the meeting lets out? Low commitment activity. No planning needed and it’s like a 50 50 chance they need to eat anyway. Just “hey I was gonna go grab food if you wanna join” and from there conversation usually happens organically
