I know how it feels too. I went to a different college than most of my friends so spent most of my time in college on my own. It did feel quite lonely but oddly enough, I prefered sitting on my own to sitting with someone I vaguely knew. I always knew it would get awkward after 5 minutes :p:

Now i'm in my third year of uni and its happening to me again! My block mates from the first year who I came close with, have all seemed to have left, repeated a year or have just been under the thumb!

It doesn't bother me as much now though, when you get older you care less what other people think, and well there are 100s of other people walking around by theirselves too!

I've rather oddly started smiling at everyone I walk past for the past few days, I think I need to stop it before I freak people out! :redface:

I was like this partly throughout college and University! Everyone seemed to be in groups I was just wondering around on my own with the hope of making friends lol. When I attempted to make friends with people who I regularly saw Id ask them something (eg have you done that essay) to get the convo going but they would just answer then turn away (why do people do this btw?), kinda embarrasing because they knew I was desperate.

Ugh, some people are so horrible :frown:

I will rep you for your suffering :wink:

I'm not a loner and I have plenty of friends, but it really irritates me when people in school think it's totally wrong to be seen walking from one place to another without a big group surrounding you. A lot of the time people will talk to others who they don't like or care about, just so they're not seen on their own.

Most of my friends are not in my lessons and I have very different people in all of them. I do triple science but then I also do loads of art ect, so the people from science are always doing Latin and econmics and other clever things, while I'm doing art the other side of the school. I have no choice but to walk on my own, and to be honest I couldn't care less of people thought I was a loner because I know I'm not.

When you see adults out, are they too scared to do anything without a cluster of friends for support? No. I know it's not just that reason, it's because you enjoy their company, but most of the time at school it's just for the sake of it.

These silly socal rules that only exist in schools irritate me. 'Thou shalt not walk from English to maths with less than five people, regardless of whether they're your friends or not'.
