Making friends and starting college.

So I’m Andy (online) and I’m starting college.. I’m not very sociable in person and I’m worried about making no friends. I have a wild range of special interests and hobbies and I’m also alternative but I have selective mutism so no one tends to approach me because I can’t talk. I don’t know what to about it. I don’t have any friends round here because I’m apparently too difficult to handle when I actually speak so that’s also making me a bit worried that if I do make a friend or so that I’ll become too much but also I won’t know anyone at college. I just don’t want college to be the same as school even tho everyone says it won’t be.
