    description of this video bc that's what this box is really for: Making friends in college is so hard! I miss my best friends from home. I am not as outgoing as I once was. I tend to be somewhat introverted / very satisfied with lots of alone time. BUT STILL - I want people to hangout with ! The struggle continues. -

      Same for me,I am almost done my first semester of college. I have class with someone who I can relate to a lot because of his Snapchat stories,so I said to him to lmk when we can hang out and he responded “For sure”. I don’t know if that means he doesn’t want to hang with me or what.

    the worst thing is that everyone in college loves to pretend to be so chill and nonchalant, so when i’m trying to actively pursue a friendship (friendly texting, asking to hang out, blah blah) people interpret me as coming off “too strong” or looking desperate. which is so ridiculous because the only way to become close with people is to constantly talk to them!!! it’s so frustrating to text people and either get ignored or not get a response until 3 days later...do people in college just genuinely not care?? i seriously don’t get it.

    Everyone tells you "You'll make friends and meet people and fall in love" and it just.... never happens. All you ever get is silence. Stares. Half-assed hellos in the hall. As though you're some kind of alien trying to be a part of society and failing miserably to fit in. I just don't understand how it works.

    It is SUCH a relief to watch this video and read the comments and realise that other people are experiencing this too. I went through this my first semester of university. I'm also really picky and I never tried to pursue relationships that I didn't feel I could develop a strong and deep connection. I definitely struggled to find people that were like minded and that I got along with really well so I felt pretty lonely and unhappy at times. Still going through this but thanks so much for making this video.I'm starting to learn that this is actually quite common, especially if you move to a new city where you don't know anyone.

  • @deborah8056
    @deborah8056 5 ปีที่แล้ว +51

    I’m in senior year about to graduate and I started out college with no friends. I didn’t party and I only talked to one person in my freshman year only because she was in my group from class. I felt really lonely so in my Sophomore year I decided to get friends and I went into the wrong crowd, I ended up in a cult, drugs, loosing my virginity and getting kicked out of my major. I had to cut off all my friends, I only kept the one good friend I made that I don’t even talk to frequently, but now I got my grades back up and I’m doing an internship in the government. Guys don’t be like me be happy with who you are, it’s better to have no friends than 1000 bad ones, don’t force friendships choose your friends wisely. If friends don’t come it’s okay just focus on you.

    • @hsnhbo

    I was surprised by how much I could relate to this. I used to have a lot of acquaintances in High School and only 2 or 3 people I considered actual trustworthy friends, one of them I had been friends with since Kindergarten lol. I feel it's more about the quality of your friendships and not the quantity. I have trouble getting to know new people because I do have some social anxiety. This is gonna sound cliche but you aren't alone.

When high-school ended I was going through a friendship breakup and I feel so sad now knowing that I lost these friends and they all continue to be friends. I made a few friends in first year and kept 1 friend from high school but ever since covid hit it was so hard to keep friendships going. Now im at a place in my life where I desire more friendships and I want them to be genuine but I find it hard to find like-minded people. I'm struggling but ill be okay.

    Hey tiffany!! I had suuuch bad anxiety in my first year of university, so i made no new friends outside of the people i was living with. I relate to your story so much because i relied so heavily on my boyfriend rather than pushing myself to be social. HOWEVER, we broke up recently and the experience really influenced me to want to go out and make my own friends, so I joined 3 sports teams and soo many art and political societies on campus, and i've met more people and made more friends in the past 2 weeks than i had in my past 2 years here. Just letting you know, just because people have already 'found' their groups, it's never too late to get out and try new things

    I do have friends, but they either go to university 5 hours away or they’re pursuing local careers that require most of their time (fire/police). I also isolated myself in my first two years of college at community college... and now I’m a transfer, commuter junior at a university I don’t really care about. I have totally lost the ability to make new friends. Sigh. Feel like I’m kind of wasting away the “glory years” I’m supposed to be having... it’s depressing. Glad I’m not alone though.

I also thought that having "just friends" everywhere and all the time was the best & normal thing to do, but I'm so relieved to hear that you & so many commenters have the same experience. Why do we judge ourselves so much for these things that are apparently so normal...

    I am so glad you made this video, it is so reassuring to know I'm not the only one struggling to make close friends in college. There are so many expectations that it will be the best time of your life socially and when that's not true it can be extremely disappointing. But at least we are not alone :)

    I mentioned this on your twitter page, but I really think you're doing great. I totally relate to that because while I was in College, I did join a sorority (freshman year) and I came out of college with two good friends from that and three good friends from classes. But I love all of them so much.
    Keep going! Study abroad in France! Go to a UC! Do you and when you look back, you'll see who was there and who was a true friend :).
    Thank you for this PSA- I think its so important for people to hear.

    Wow thank you for making this video. I'm sitting here crying and not even because I'm sad; it's just refreshing to hear someone be vulnerable and explain that they're feeling the EXACT way that I am. I don't know why this video popped up on my feed but I'm so glad it did and completely changed the shitty way I've been feeling lately.

  • @rachael8180
    @rachael8180 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I relate to this so much! My problem is that I'm very social and I constantly reach out to people to try and become friends, so I end up having a variety of very different individual friends (mainly all just very goodaquaintances), but no close knit group where all of my friends and I are friends with each other. I've always wanted that, but since its never happened, I always feel like I have no friends, since I don't have any "best" friends who I can call up any time to do everything with.

    Just thought I’d drop this comment in the mid of the vid before I forget lol. If you don’t mind, I’d really like to talk to you about how you got over this hump in the road because I’m really having a hard time feeling happy because I feel so lonely when I shouldn’t feel that way.

    I 100% relate to everything you said, and it's nice to see someone who's just ok with not having friends. I hate myself so much some days because I can't push myself to make friends and I moved to college with nobody. So it's helpful to hear that you've made it through so far with no friends.

    I really needed this today. Just broke up with my boyfriend that I had all throughout college and all of my friends were his friends from his childhood. I didn't make a real effort to make lasting, good friendships the past 4 years. Now I have a full-time job, no boyfriend, and no close friends. Making friends as an adult is going to be tough, but at least I know I'm not alone in how i'm feeling.

    • @SimplyRefreshing
      @SimplyRefreshing 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      @tiffanyferg Very true! We shaped a lot of each other's lives. It's something I think we needed anyway, that time to be individuals... something that I think contributed to why it ended - that we didn't have that experience as individuals to know who we are and what we really wanted. What comes with meeting someone so young I suppose. Thanks for the reply Tiffany! Good luck in your year ahead.

    @datgreekgal 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    If you have in mind that you're gonna leave and that's the reason you don't make friends you'll never have fun gurl!! Go out there and suggest to ppl you like to hang out even if they already have a friend group. Don't get bored! You may be not that social, but not let it get yourself isolated and if they don't want to hang out with you they lose the company of a great personality. Don' t get disappointed and go on cheerful and positive like that!! Love from Greece 😘

  • @jimb0000

  • @rhun4832
    @rhun4832 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is me right now and me last year. Made a bunch of friends around orientation, lost a lot after fall quarter because thats what happens. Come winter quarter, I was miserable but managed because I was semi close to my roommate so I'd literally look forward to dinner time where we could walk to the dining hall and eat: that was my social life. Now I'm a returning student and I have about zero friends and zero confidence to make any. I'm not into drinking or parties so I have slim options.
    People often say: join clubs and meet people but that's easier said than done. I've learned class friendships and club friendships are a different ball game, you pretty much only have that ONE thing in common and after the quarter ends or summer comes and the club shuts down for vacation; back where you started.
    My advice? Come to terms with it and work on being comfortable alone. Ive done great in school in terms of academics and I'm meeting my standards there but I was genuinely disappointed about my social life by the end of freshman year. High schoolers have preconceived ideas when it comes to college: I thought I'd make my BEST friends. I thought I'd meet my future husband or my bridesmaids. Thought id have amazing memories or crazy nights, just didnt happen for me.
    It's not a fun situation and I finally learned to accept it and stop the pity party. It's a sucky situation and I feel for anyone experiencing it. It's embarrassing to young adults. My schools all across the country and I literally lied to my parents about making friends in order to ease their worries.

    It feels really good knowing that I'm not the only one who hasn't made friends in college. I'm also in my second year and it's been really hard for me to make new friends because I don't know how hahaha it really is a hard thing to do but by pushing myself out of my comfort zone, I'm getting to know people little by little. I wish us all the best of luck at finding friends lol ❤️

    So much I can relate to here :/ I tend to isolate myself a lot, and as much as I do value my alone time I really do wish I had friends (well I have one friend and we don't see each other too much). I can also relate to the idea of not wanting to seem desperate or invite myself places. I especially hate this cause I have a fear of people hanging out with me out of pity so I don't want people to just be begrudgingly letting me hang out with them

    Exact same person! I was so unhappy my freshman year, it was better sophomore year but I decided to transfer to my boyfriend's school because he makes me happy and I knew I would meet new people through him! luckily one of my friends also transferred here so I at least have two people to hang out with now. I still get sad sometimes that I have yet to create my own friend group, and not just tag along with my boyfriend but I just feel so unlikable and shy and awkward. I'm so quiet, I don't know how I could get anyone to enjoy my company

    Last semester, I joined a club that I heard was supposed to be fun out of blindness because I was desperate to make friends. I wasn't really even interested in the club. I'm still in the club right now but I don't fit in. There's a ton of people in it and I do better in making friends in smaller groups. Since I'm not too interested in the club, I am leaving it soon and going to pursue what I am genuinely interested in.

    lol my comment on your insta post with reed... also lol at the fact that i'm watching this vid alone in the cafeteria... but like same last year i was so trapped by first my roommate who only wanted to do stuff with me bc she was from out of state & had a negative mindset about the school & then another friend who was always going off campus & not doing anything here so it was hard to make friends & be involved but they both transferred so this year i'm forcing myself out and joining things and being more open with telling people stuff i want to do and branching out and i actually ended up becoming more of a part of a tight knit group of like 6 people who lived on my dorm floor last year so friendships will come!! & definitely if you're in a group for study abroad in france take the opportunity to seize those friendships
