I know exactly how you feel! I feel like it's all just niceties and you become so lonely. I'm not really a huge drinker either so clubbing nights don't appeal to me... My parents will never let me change universities or do anything else either so I have no hope. I hope things improve for you!

Wow thanks for all the quick responses...I'm at QMUL.

I've joined a few societies, but none of them seem to EVER have any events, I go cricket too..but its pretty much the same with people there :s-smilie:

Its not like I don't say hi to EVERYONE on my course, and my building etc, I just dunno why I don't really build any sort of relationship with anyone,

I guess there's something wrong...I'd pretty much say I only really have one close friend that I can talk to loads :s-smilie:

hahah u prolly get bullied n have no mates because of the fact you do cricket lad drop that shite excuse for a sport an then maybe your gonna get somewhere in life lad

Everyone of my friends and family say that University is the "time of their lives"...but I really don't feel this, do others? :confused:

I started the year pretty confidently, met a whole heap of people and wsent out (why do Universities only really do Clubbing nights!?)...made a lot of friends, but really, I've met no-one that I could see as a true friend, or someone I can just chill with and do things with often.

I'm not unpopular (not trying to be bigheaded!), but these friendships pretty much have no substance to them at all...I literally now just go to Lectures, eat and Hide away in the library trying to do work...and all I want to do is just leave, I hate being a loner...I've lost all my confidence this year, and I'm generally a pretty funny guy, but I think I've lost that too...

:frown:

At least you have people to talk to so your not completely alone but I can understands where your coming from. I HATE uni life and I'm im only 2 months in I wouldn't say I've made any friends either but I have made the effort the effort to all the time. I'd love to just leave but I have no back up and I do want to be a nurse by the time I'm 21 but if you hate the course your doing also that's if you do I'd leave in my opinion. See I was really down in my first few weeks and I think that's why I haven't made friends because everyone thinks I'm such a downer when in reality I'm very home sick and it's really overwhelming and effecting me. But I can totally see where your coming from when u thought it would be the best time of your life like everyone says because I hate it too. Try and join some societies that's what everyone else seems to be doing I joined a fitness one because exercise was supposed to help my stress but I've met no one due to the nature of it so if I were you I'd chose something where you socialise more like baking or something. Sorryfor blabbing on hope this helps

The first time round that I went to uni I felt this way too.. I dropped out at the end of second year because by that point i felt like a robot. This time, starting uni again I can feel myself burning out real soon, as the people there just exhaust me. But I sorta realised recently enough that although I enjoy social interaction and going out from time to time with friends I'm just quite introverted. I like working alone, and need time alone to recharge. Doesn't mean I'm shy and hate socialising, just means that when I do socialise I choose a smaller group of friends I know better and hang out in a closet setting, like a pub or just at home.There's loads of clubs that organise not clubbing nights. There's most likely a board games club (surprisingly fun, beers and board games) , a gaming club, sports club etc don't just stick to halls and lectures to make friends, join clubs and you will meet people similar to yourself and by next term you'll be more settled, calmer and happier
