20 M, Still a virgin after 1st year Uni, looking for advice

First off - Good on you for coming forward about this. There's no need to apologise for seeking advice.

Secondly, I know this isn't the answer you're hoping for and you might feel shut down by it, but the best thing you can do is not obsess over it like this. The concept of losing your virginity asap is overrated. In actuality, it doesn't matter. I'm someone who believes the Universe makes everything work out eventually, and whatever is happening now is meant to happen so that you can live a better life later on. In this case, the Universe isn't ready for you to lose your virginity. This is the type of thing that will need to come naturally; forcing it will likely make it less enjoyable when it happens.

Instead, try your best to enjoy the connections you grow with people, not because of the physical intimacy, but the emotional intimacy.

As for building these connections, the best advice anyone can give is risking and giving it a go. Don't be afraid to playfully nudge someone or pat their shoulder (at the appropriate moments, of course). You'll notice that once you find someone who is equally as interested in you as you are of them, you'll grow closer without even realising.

And if nothing comes out of this, it's best to place your focus onto something else for a while. Let life happen naturally.

almost everyone I know has lost their V or is in a relationship, and it feels embarassing and often makes me feel depressed.

I know it's not the be all and end of, but I know it would take a huge weight off my shoulders to get it done.

For all your words about being mature and chill, these phrases show the exact opposite. First, you are comparing yourself to other people, some of whom could be lying and actually in the same position as you. Second,you sound desperate enough to have sex that you see it as something to get done, rather than in the context of a loving relationship.

Why do you take such an interest in other people's sex lives? There's far more andbetter things to be involved with. And will it really make you feel better just having random sex where it's messy, uncomfortable and maybe fulfilling?

I think this is pretty unfair tbh, there's huge social pressure at uni to pull and have sex and unfortunately it does affect how I sizeable portion of people think of you and treat you.

Really? A few people might have that experience but I seriously doubt it's a huge social pressure that determines your place in the entire social pecking order. It's a bit out there.

Different people will have different experiences but I think it definitely has a bigger affect than most people appreciate (particularly those who have never had this problem) and the fact that it is not widely accepted that it is wrong to shame virgins makes the feeling so much more isolating and humiliating.

Have you been shamed for being a virgin? (Assuming you are one, if not were you shamed for it when you were?)
This isn't a trick question, I genuinely want to know.
