So I decided on a uni far (almost 4 hours) from home, and moved in yesterday, and honestly I hate it. I’m sat in my room at 4am after being out and All i can think about is going home. I feel like I’ve ruined me self-image here already and people are reacting to me in the way i feared, it’s taken me to realise that I’m actually awful at socialising, I’m the most likely one to get ignored in a group, I overthink and just tend to keep quiet, I don’t have a confidence because i’ve always been perceived as the awkward/quiet one, the one that needs looking after etc, and it just makes me want to run from myself because everyone I’ve met here so far is big into clubbing/going out/very confident/popular. I’m genuinely considering moving home asap and commuting to the uni nearby, would that be possible at this time in Sept? I really wish I were like everyone else but somehow being around people sucks the energy out of me and i feel better alone (which i know is so ridiculous i wish i were normal). My Dad always said that it might turn out like this, but I didn’t believe him because for some reason I thought it would be great. I hate drinking also because it makes me feel ill ( I KNOW how pathetic that is). HELP please, any suggestions of what i could do are so appreciated.
