I’ve been at college for 2 weeks now and I still haven’t had the ambition to make new friends- is this normal?

I’ve been at college now for two weeks and I haven’t really had to ambition to make a point of going out to make new friends… is there something wrong with that?

There could be a number of reasons… we might need more information… Do you have someone that fills that void you might feel after moving away from home? Are you even that far from home? Is someone your “wingman” and making the friends for you? If this is the case, air on the side of caution. If you should having a falling out with said wingman, or wingman gets a significant other, you might be out on your own in a world where people have already established their friendships. My advice, invest in some social lubricant (whatever your vice may be) and get out in those halls and just roam them like a jungle cat.

No there isn’t really something wrong. People put way to much emphasis on a “real college experience” when the truth is, nothing is more real than just being there, gaining knowledge, and building yourself intellectually. Friends are good support, especially when you’re living on campus and its hard to adjust, but don’t put so much importance on it. My first year at college, i lived on campus, in a single room in an all female dorm..i was COMPLETELY anti social. but as time went on, and i adjusted, making friends just came naturally.

not necessarily. the workload is probably getting in the way but if youre problem is that you dont WANT to go out of your way to make friends, its understandable. in college, it seems like you just go to class and out and that you dont need to get attached to classmates and such like you did in high school. it mostly happens to those who live out of campus. i wouldnt worry too much about it unless its bothering you. in that case, just hit a public place or take part in group activities or join organizations, that should take care of it. hope i’ve been of great help! & good luck in your college years!

No, there’s nothing wrong with that. Perhaps you’re not the type of person who requires a lot of socializing, a loner of sorts.

Nothing wrong with that. I hate mostly everyone that is in my major. That’s why I hang out with people outside my major.
