Has anybody been friendless?
I've been going through a rough couple of years as I literally have no friends. I'm not exaggerating, I really have zero friends. I've always been somewhat shy until I get to know someone better, and by my last year of high school I had a few people that I could call friends.
When everybody went off to college, however, I had to start over and for the last three years I have had no friends.
I have never had a girlfriend, either. I'm almost 21 years old and I have yet to kiss or even hold hands with somebody. Hell, I haven't even been hugged in a few years. I am pretty certain that not one person has even had a crush on me, as these things usually travel through gossip channels and are found out soon enough - my crushes always found out at least.
I am stuck in classes consisting of 40-year-old mothers-of-two, but I see cute girls in the hallway between classes. None of them ever make eye contact with me - sometimes I am convinced that I am actually invisible.
I really don't think that I'm that awful looking. I may not be super attractive, but I wouldn't call myself ugly. I consider myself to be nice, caring, (somewhat) intelligent, and funny. These things haven't done me many favors, though.
I can't just start talking to people around me, as I have some social anxieties and I have nothing in common with anybody around me in my classes. Has anybody been through what I am going through right now? And does anybody have any advice?
