first sem rant :,)
I've seen a couple of posts like this in here but I thought I would jump into the train and give my own experiences too. For reference im 18F and a first year and this is my first sem experience at this uni.
I've heard of the saying that uni is where you make your lifelong friends but like how am I meant to exactly do that when the people are antisocial or have already formed their own groups or duos? Obviously I understand that it won't come to me overnight but I dont enjoy the antisocial and cliquey nature. If I am going to get vulnerable here I was kind of a loser in highschool and didn't have many friends atleast close friends. I don't want to repeat this same habit and make surface level unit friends where the friendship stays only within the class. But its so hard when people are into their own highschool friendgroups and I guess I am so scared of missing out on making possible friends as I heard perth as a city is very cliquey and as an adult it can get harder to make close connections.
Joining clubs I've been hesitant to do since I first joined the uni as I don't want to face the rejection that people may not want anything to do w me outside of its events :,) I don't really get how people make friendgroups here and are able too merge so quickly. I don't really do well in groups either as the dynamics are hard to wrap my head around and I prefer 1v1 friendship but I meet these people once a week even if we kick it off what am I meant to do?
I guess I also miss the tight knit familial bond of highschool even if I didn't have many friends whereas uni seems antisocial and dry...
Thanks to all the lovely people that reply but this was just a post of me being vulnerable
