Social Life at University

Recently I arrived at University (Last Week) and didn't do anything for freshers, no one arrived in my flat until later on, and I had to disapear at the weekend to work in Brighton, they all made friends at the weekend and now I don't have anyone, they are all going out and I am left here on my own, sure there may be suggestions ask if you can go, but its not that simple, I am not that forward with people, and don't like breaking into friendship groups, what should I do?

become more forward with people", it's not rocket science.

If you're going to be so shy and introvert that you can't even talk to anybody, then I'm sorry, you won't make friends.

Uni's not even started yet, how can there be "friendship groups"? You're in the same position as everyone else. At whatever uni you're at there's bound to be people like you, and people you can get on with. Don't worry about it.

Just force yourself to bang on someones door, no solid groups will have formed after a week - anywhere. If there going out then just ask and go with them!! Ok you may not like being forward, but your gonna have to be - ur not gonna make any friends sitting in your room and wallowing in self pitty. if i seem a little harsh, sorry, but thats how it is.

oh dont worry, I dont get hammered and am not too much into parties, I am however being slain in the freshers week thread for that. So welcome in the "losers" corner, make yourself comfortable and lets have a cuppa while they are throring insults at us :wink:

no honestly, I think everyone finds someone to hang out with sooner or later, if it´s not at a party then in your course, your sport, a society or maybe even - how loser is that? :wink:

- in the library.

You aren't alone, so I guess somehow the people with interests apart from partying will find eachother.

Why bother going clubbing with them? chances are, if you don't like it, they probably aren't the people you're going to get on best with!
