How do I make myself happy again?

0

I feel like I’m at a dead end in my life. I’m in my first semester of college, and I was expecting to come here, make tons of new friends, and be in a new dating scene. So far, my only friends are the other girls that live in my suite and my dating life has been dismal as ever. I just feel really lonely and unhappy.

Hey, it's only the first semester! It took me 4 years to find my friends and get into a relationship and become happy when I was at school. You're only in college, there's no way your life is going to be hitting a dead end any time soon. Just be patient! Chin up, buttercup!

Hey, you have a hell lot of time to fall into a relationship. This dating thing will happen soon, keep your spirits high. Friends cannot be made in a day. You could always try and participate in more group activities in college, this way you can get to know more people. Mingle more, socialize more. I know how lonely it can get in college, but you need to be headstrong and keep hope. you will soon find the right person in your life. As for now, enjoy what you have. College is a long way to go. Good luck:)

You definitly have time. Maybe its time to shake things up though, try new activities, take risks talking ot new people. dont force it to happen. Put yourself out there and dont get discouraged if some dont work out. Stay safe!

It took me a long time to feel like I fit in at college. The whole first semester was a strange experience, but I was also able to get to learn about MYSELF again. Without the cloud of high school hanging around, I feel like I have made a lot of strides toward becoming a better man. While I have made mistakes (a ton) and have felt very lonely and horrible, I also have been able to rediscover a lot of the magic in life.Growing up is as tough as they always said it would be (you know, when we never really believed them). But it is also the chance to become a true individual and do so many things in life.Don't blame yourself for these feelings you have. Try to put them away, they're not helping anything. Just live, try talking to random people in your classes, go to clubs and parties, even if it's not normally your scene. It never was mine, but I had a lot of fun and bonded with people I can now be super close to AND not go to parties all the time.All just advice, take what works and leave what doesn't. I wish you the best, and just remember, college is a huge step, take your time, relax, enjoy the little things everyday. You're alive, that's all that really matters in the end.

Thank you, I really appreciate your responses :) I realize that I have to make things better and talk to more people if I want the social scene to get better.
