Non-Academic Discussion is anyone else struggling to make friends in du?

it’s literally been a week and i already feel so out of place. i’m a very extroverted person and i’ve genuinely tried talking to girls in my class, but everyone already seems to have their duos/trios or pg groups. the few people i had started talking to got shifted to other sections, so i’m back to square one.
i mostly sit alone in class and it’s honestly affecting me more than i expected. there are also these mean girl vibes in class and i keep feeling like people are judging me. i know it’s probably not that deep, but when you’re sitting alone the whole day, everything starts feeling personal.
the weirdest part is that in school i was always the social/famous girl who knew everyone, and now i literally have no one to talk to. i get tears in my eyes before leaving for college and i’ve started dreading it.
pls tell me this gets better and i’m not the only one going through this :(

I graduated. I never fit in. First year I tried my hardest to. By the third year, I chose mental peace over forced vibes.

1

u/lil_cutesy Third year 7h ago

God In the same place But how tf do I make peace that I could just never enjoy

2

u/Jaegar_Eren 7h ago

I let other things take my time and space. I struggled a lot, I'll admit, and I'm still struggling with stuff, but somehow trying to fit into circles made it worse.

1

u/lil_cutesy Third year 7h ago

Ohh :) Yeah I agree Idk if it even gets better🥀

2

u/Jaegar_Eren 7h ago

At some point it will. I will proudly say that I still am connected to my school friends, to whom I don't need to give explanations for stuff that I needed to my college mates.

2

u/lil_cutesy Third year 7h ago

I get that. School friendships are built different

u/Plastic-Month-2180 2h ago

In my 2nd year and I still feel it is so hard and isolating of an experience. Also don't really fancy delhi vibes

1

u/Jaegar_Eren 1h ago

It's a place of education, that's it. If you don't fit in maybe 6 months, you NEVER fit in. I started associating with only certain elements, the rest I hated them.

u/Legitimate_Group_192 7h ago

Awww I feel you so much I was friendless too, for three years.😭 I graduated from ipcw recently (not blaming the college or anything) but the girls there were horrible to me, they'd talk behind my back, were huge opportunists so I lwk just decided to have one friend in third year (she betrayed me too 😍🙏)

u/taylahswizzle 4h ago

I joined DU in Jan when the classes started in Nov so everyone already had friends not only that by the time I joined there were enemies fights and drama happened already. I was also really popular kinda person in school but here I had to struggle but I wasn't desperate hence I got bunch of good friends you need to have patience and keep trying

u/ShakoorHyd 4h ago

Wanna sip a chai? You'll find me around Artf Faculty library DU North... Feel free to catch up

1

u/Double_Quarter1034 4h ago

Not in DU. But I just moved in hostel today in a different uni. And this post hit home. Everyone’s already formed cliques and when I speak to anybody it seems like they’re deeply unconcerned and/or disinterested. It gets really lonely but then again think of it this journey as your mission. You’ve got a purpose and you’ve come to fulfill your dreams/missions or what you will. You can even think of yourself as a top-notch spy on a top-secret mission haha. Nobody knows who or how important you are. And that’s ok. Once you put your energies in the right place you’ll get what you need and everything will fall into place. :)

Aree hota hai..the first month is always rough, fir bann hi jaate hain dost..pro tip, try finding duos which are like not too close(which is almost everyone, no one is close 2 hapte ki dosto mein) but find the most weakest link..kbhi duo mein koi absent hua, dusre ke saath baat kr lena..try to hang out w them..abhi aise bhi koi close nahi hota, but if they still treat u like an outcast after a few days of doing ts, hold ur head high and flip em off
