Lonely in Uni.

Should I knock on people's doors along my hall and ask them if they want to play with me?

I'm a fresher so it seems like me and all the other freshers should be in the same boat, but everyone else already seems to have made groups. How can I make some friends? I'm banking on societies but you can't join till wednesday.

And how did they make their groups? By taking the initiative, talking to them, getting to know them etc. Why don't you do that?
And if you're female, PM me and I'll play with you.

When did you arrive at uni? I've been here a week now and initially felt soooo down and lonely and miserable and just wanted to go home, but now by keeping my door open and arranging to go out with my flatmates, talking to people I sit next to in lectures/on the bus I don't feel lonely any more. I mean they are not my best friends, yet, but friendships take a long time to create so all the people who are currently hanging round together probably won't be in a few weeks. Keep your chin up, introduce your self to everybody and soon things will fall into place

I'm quite anxious in around large groups of people I don't know so maybe I'm not like them

Not female...lol.

ah..anon fail

Hmm well are there people in smaller groups/still on their own? In lectures too, you could chat to people you sit next to before the lecturer starts talking and stuff...
But yeah if you find it hard to make friends in your course/classes then societies are good too.

Which Uni you at?

Just knock on doors thats what everyone does.

Aberystwyth.

Ok, I will, didn't know if people really did that or if I'd look like a nutcase.

I feel the same too. Don't get me wrong, my flatmates are lovely people but we just don't click at all, and I can't wait for lectures to start so I can actually get chatting to people on my course.
There is sod bloody all to do here during the day, I can't even go out in central yet as my loan hasn't come through and anyway - most people stay in bed all day nursing their hangovers. I'm so bored.
I'm sure the loneliness will go soon. I have a few people that I'm quite friendly with but by no means are we best mates already.Its just really hard as groups are already forming fast and everyone acts as if they have known each other years!

instead of bein anxious, try not bein anxious. afterall, if its halls yer in, the people youre with will be yer family for the next year. their just people afterall, sentient beins made of flesh and tissue who r ultimately doomed, as is everyone. your only here once so might as well jus take the plunge and make that effort.

This is pretty much me, although I do kinda click with flatmates but they've made closer friendship groups already and I just feel like a tag-along, it sucks They often leave the flat in the daytime with their friends and I'm stuck here, I don't know what to do!

*knock knock* Hi I'm peter. Will you play with me?

It sucks doesn't it? But I'm sure it will all get better soon
