I came to uni on the 29th of september and have yet to make one single friend. When i first got here, I said hi to every single person i saw, because they're all foreign and don't speak very good english (ohh i dont care its not racist) they just said "hi" and walked away or carried on talking to the other person in their own language. I had a crackin conversation with one girl and I said we should get everyone on our floor together to have a party, she said yeah what a great idea! That night, she's got about ten people in the communal kitchen and hasn't said a thing to me.
Saying "get off the internet and get a life" is ******* ridiculous advice because what, ok log off and then - pace up and down the hallway and harass everyone to be your mate? No, maybe that works on your first couple of days but when on the first couple of days, every single person you meet doesn't understand, or want, to talk to you, it gets a bit stupid.
I hate university and it makes me sick the thought of going back there. Everyone says I could try harder, ooh go out andtalk to people, just shut up i've tried that and no one looks twice at me after they say hi and walk off. I went two weeks, without having a face to face conversation with anyone. It ***** with your head and ruins your relationships back home. So no one tell me i'm not trying.
OP I completely understand.
