I don't belong anywhere. Anyone feel the same?

I do not get along with anybody or anywhere. My dad sees me as a regret and my mum loves bullying me.

Luckily i escaped from my family to go uni this year. I had this deluded sense that going uni will make me social but it was the opposite.

I made friends and lost them within two weeks hence i'm pretty alone. Perhaps Freshers was a factor because i'm really different when i'm drunk and they thought that was how i was. Don't get me wrong, i finally lived life and the uni experience.... for a month and now no one invites me out.

I'm struggling and if not i'm worried about the future. I am trying to think of ways to be productive this January but my uni town is very dull and i can't go back to my hometown because i have no friends/people still think i'm that 'lunatic strange kid'/don't get along with family.

I like to dwell with this quote: 'Do not underestimate the determination of a quiet man' (come on, this is the best quote i've ever heard, haven't you? :biggrin:), it bizzarely helps me through life and probably why i have lasted in uni. Another quote 'The Quiet man is here to stay, AND HE'S TURNING UP THE VOLUME' seems to help me

Anyone having similar issues, or probably want to share. I just honestly want to make myself feel better on TSR.

Why wait for others to take the first step and ask you out? :smile:
I've felt very lonely at times, and I've found taking care of myself (sleeping well, exercising, eating right, meditating, doing yoga, mental exercise) makes me feel better, which makes social situations easier. Perhaps it could work for you too?
I hope you can be confident in yourself and make good friends :smile: Good luck!

The thread was has anyone felt the same way, it could also be perhaps just a few advice as well.

I don't know what i want or what will make me happy thats why i'm researching in the internet for what should change when i go back to uni in january. Having Depression is demonic and it is very difficult when no one wants you

Are you in uni now?

Trying to look into meditiating probably doing it every weekend in the new year.

I think my uni is very antisocial (it is in the midlands) and people socialise in their own group. I just wish i would have belong but i was not prepared to be drunk everyday just to make friends.

I am :smile:
Meditating has been wonderful for me, I hope it's god for you!
That sounds tough :frown: Drinking is quite prevalent at university, but it can be avoided.

Mate if we were at the same uni and i knew you felt this way i would fully take you out and show you that there is nothing to be scared of in the world.

Advice from me
Join a society for something you enjoy
Don't take drugs or drink to feel free
Don't let your family or friends put you down
Get in to a sport University's have all possible sports you can think of
Do Charity work with the university
Go to the gym even if you are fat thin or whatever just go i made alot of gym pals even went jogging together
When you get scared or hesitate to do something just think WHY THE **** NOT and DO IT
I feel similar in my home environment at time but i say **** it life goes on

Lastly this might be a bit of a wired one but GO TO CHURCH this bit will sound stupid but GO TO A BLACK CHURCH (i am black btw lool) Black churches are just magical trust me when i say black people are the friendliest youll ever meet especially church goers i hope that helps pal and just stay strong and keep your head up. GOD LOVES YOU

P.S
I REALLY SUGGEST CHURCH ITS MAGICAL MATE I PROMISE.

Join a society for something you enjoy I tried this, it never worked
Don't take drugs or drink to feel free I'm drunk because my flatmates are playing fifa and they didn't invite me
Don't let your family or friends put you down My mum is suffering from of muscular dystrophy but find it hard to find sympathy because she's a bully
Get in to a sport University's have all possible sports you can think of **** at sports
Do Charity work with the university Probably will
Go to the gym even if you are fat thin or whatever just go i made alot of gym pals even went jogging together social anxiety
When you get scared or hesitate to do something just think WHY THE **** NOT and DO IT Isn't this what i did in Freshers and it this is where i am


Answered above

I'm black too. Going to black church is hard to socialise (i've been to my family church for more than 15 years, Also been to UCKG, RCCG and trying my best at Potters house in uni) but have failed to make any difference.

Our uni has a cult church society with a black prominence. Accidently caught feelings for a girl and it is now a mess, i would go there but i'm jealous of their lives.

Just out of curosity, what church do you go to?
anyone?
Of course you belong. Not everyone is going to have things in common, but try to get to know people and what makes them tick, what their lives revolve around and genuinely show interest in their lives. I find that is what sets me apart from many people is that i genuinely enjoy finding out about people's lives. I love finding out what makes people tick. Just generally put yourselves out there and don't put so much emphasis on the outcome, if someone doesn't like you or get along with you then move on to someone else who you have an interest in.

I never been to University so i cannot comment on freshers or what it's like to make friends at uni, but i would say meeting people is universal and you should always make an effort no matter where you are, and this is important because gaining trust and forming relationships is never easy, and it takes a lot of work, so just stick at it and push yourself to be social. I would say the eariler into university you can make friends and network, the easier it will be further down the line.
