I’m 20 and currently studying at university. Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m not really noticed by others.
I see a lot of couples forming around me, while I’m still single. It makes me wonder if there’s something about me that explains this.
I sometimes think about my appearance. My teeth are a bit misaligned and I might need braces. I wonder if that could play a role.
I’m about 1m67 and 80 kg. It doesn’t really show on the outside, but I’m aware of it and it affects my confidence. I don’t wear much makeup, I don’t really do sports, and I’m not very involved in activities.
The hardest part for me is social. I don’t really know how people meet and how relationships form at university. I feel like I don’t know how to connect with others. Maybe the fact that I don’t talk much doesn’t help.
I would really appreciate advice on:
how to meet people at university
how to be more socially comfortable
and how to improve my confidence and presence
I’m not necessarily looking to be in a relationship, just to feel seen and understand how things work socially.
Thank you in advance for any advice.
