No motivation for life?

Writing this here because I don’t like opening up in real life.

So I have started university and in the first few weeks I was putting in the effort and trying my best to talk to everyone. I would talk to people in my halls, coursemates during/after lectures and just honestly even someone sitting alone i would talk to them. I was super motivated to make friends, I was also super motivated when it came to societies.

Now...

Everyone seems to have found their friendship group except for me. I feel like I don’t fit in with anyone, everyone else’s groups feels so natural. When I was in sixth form people used to say I was awkward and now I am starting to believe them words like that can have such a negative impact on you. So yeah now I just feel like it’s true that I am awkward

I’m barely active in societies, I just feel like they don’t interest me. I can’t even play sports because of an injury I have :frown: (I’m currently in physio for it)

No motivation even for things like relationships.

Education part of uni is going okay at least.
Dont lose hope yet- its so soon. and ignore those people at sixth form, they dont truly know you. you go out there and go to societies- group projects are a good way. social media, flatmates etc, you;ll do it! i know how you feel though. i struggle a lot and i understnad how mentally an dphysically draining socialising can be

OP
Thanks, that first sentence is definitely the story of my life after year 11 lol.

I’m going to try my best and organise social things that aren’t clubbing. Literally 99% of the social life at my uni seems to be clubbing :/.

Sometimes clubbing can be fun but often it just feels like a waste of time and is expensive
