I have no friends, lonely at the age of 20

mate I'm I'm the same situation as you. I'm 20 just finished my second year about to go into my final year. I have no real/ close friends. I attended many societies at university but gave up because it was too inconsistent. put it this way it is a really bad uni. I literally stay in my room all day doing nothing. To be honest I think I'm exactly the same as you. I completely understand you. I'm also looking for advice too.

i mean you should engage in hobbies, i mean you really dont have any interests? like playing certain games? or listening to certain genres of music? or watching a certain genre of tv or movies? or a task like paintina or writing or even types of excercise?

I'm sorry to hear this, but honestly I feel like one of the things that has really impacted your number of friendships is because you started uni when covid was in it's starting phase, so you haven't had the chance to make as many friends and gotten to know people on your course. I can understand this because my friend has the same situation, I've known her since yr 7 but at uni she only has 1 friend, but whilst I started after a gap year - I had more opportunity to meet others and have a lot more friends on the course. It's definitely not a 'you' thing, but you do need to be more open to trying new things.

You've mentioned that you stay in your room all day, but if you tried going for things like getting a part time job, joining the gym or joining a hobby society (sports, arts etc). By doing things like these you would be meeting new people on a regular basis and would be able to grow your social circle. It would also be good to go to events at uni or for things you're interested in - but definitely try new things and experiences - you'll make good memories and hopefully some good new friends! You could also check out any trips your uni is doing or even try some volunteering, try sitting with new people or even join study groups - there are so many things that can be done, but don't stress over things too much, at this age it is normal not to have many friendships because everyone is all over the place trying to figure out what to do with life, especially at our age. I hope my advice was somewhat useful and hopefully you'll meet some new people good luck

I have this issue where i don't really enjoy doing things by myself, such as going to the cinema by myself. I've been considering going to concerts of artists i enjoy but going alone seems really daunting, especially for my first time

i mean going to the movies or concerts are group things but i get doing things by yourself can be dull, ive been playing games and doing stuff by myself since i can remember maybe thats why i dont really care, what do you do in your free time then? like if youre not studying what would you do?

I've never written anything like this. I'm a 20 year old male, not ugly but not 10/10. a fine line inbetween (i think). I'm currently studying Law at a good uni, going into my final year. I currently do not enjoy the course at all and dropping out is not an option but my issue is, i have 0 friends and never had a girlfriend either. as virgin as olive oil. I'd like to think i have a good personality and can hold a conversation well. I've lurked these forums and people always tell people in my position to go to clubs at uni but in my case, I don't really have hobbies and the society regarding my course doesn't really interest me because i stupidly started a course in uni that i don't enjoy, it wouldnt make sense to join a law society for me.

I don't know what to do and quite honestly, i'm bored of sitting in my room all day by myself, i'd like friends and potentially even a girlfriend just so i can say i experienced it, and decide pursuing that, is for me or not.

thank you for reading

honestly just watching true crime youtube videos or playing games on my pc, not much variety to it, thats pretty much it every day.

Hi, same here. I am trying to understad why... do you have any idea for you? are you shy, introvert ? or maybe social axiety?

i mean they can technically be classed as interests
did you have the same diificulty in secondary school or sixth form
