No problem! I have discord too? Or Snapchat?

for sure! if u wanna give me ur user on any of them ill add u (instagram works too actually)

Discord is ‘ascpea’ obviously without the ‘’

thank you so much! i just made a new account and sent u a friend request

That can be hard, but the first step is realising you need an attitude change, which is great. More information could help me understand your situation. What year are you in? Do you plan to go to university after?

Hey !
um i struggle alot with making friends and/or keeping the friends i do make for a long long time. I feel like i can never really have any true friends coz im boring, never understand the latest trends, dont go ouside very often, dont have social media and i dont want to have social media (exempt from yt and pintrest and technically this if it counts), dont like chatting, kinda am ugly, weird and yk. Then i tell my self that i should forgo that quest and just study and develop myself. Im not saying thats a bad thing but i then feel bouts of depression after and i cry alot. What should i do?
do i just focus on my studies and be alone or do i idk try again?

hi...im kinda in the exact same situation as you. :/ hmu if ud like to be friends and id love to talk further abt our shared experiences bcuz it sounds like we have a ton in common!

Hey,
I’m autistic and suffer from pretty bad social anxiety. I had struggled with the idea of making friends in an entirely new environment too because i was so comfortable in my dwindling school friend group, and while i do have accounts on all the major socials i try to stay away from it, for example i’ve got snapchat stories muted as i just use it to message people that insist on using it (would much rather they just texted me lol).
Anyway, that is to say i feel/felt much the same as you did at the start of my degree, especially the ugly/weird bit lol. If you don’t like chatting it does make it harder because i love a good natter but i close myself off early on because i’m scared of annoying people! If you try to connect with people that you live with/share classes with/enjoy societies with then you can have acquaintances. I’m a strong believer that strong friendships can develop you as a person just as much as an intensive self-discovery can, you just have to find the right people for you, that care about any hobbies or interests you may have. If you don’t feel you have many or any hobbies its always possible to try new things which will make it easier to talk to others, but i won’t recommend you download TikTok or anything like that lol.
Tl;dr, i felt in a similar position to you once, friends are an incredibly important part of your life, don’t forgo them entirely unless you’re willing to spend a lot of time alone at uni as i’ve heard from others. socialising is hard but the returns are worth it if you spend time in the right places.
