The story

Writing this makes me wonder what if people think that I am really problem? What if everyone blames me? But am I really the problem? am i really the one at fault? It all started when I started going to college.Me typically being a very big extrovert started being an introvert.First day it was a big pressure new place new people will i fit in .I never once in my life was alone anywhere so the first day really made me tensed.Got into the classroom sat with someone who had a mean face but was rather friendly,A week passed by ,class elections had to be done myself being a great enthusiast of responsibilities even without knowing if anyone liked me stood for the election with utter confidence and failed by 2 votes.After two days a girl transferred from another branch to our class was sitting alone in a bench,she made me remind myself so i went and sat near her,she was really pretty but had a face of someone who is really quite,I hoped for a conversation and she made the first move and one of the first things she asked me was if i had a boyfriend and that question gave me a really bad flashback but with that question i knew we were gonna be bestfriends.

i get that starting college can be overwhelming, but sometimes focusing too much on what others think of us just amplifies anxiety; maybe it's less about being the "problem" and more about finding people who vibe with your true self rather than a false facade.

It sounds like you're experiencing a lot of self-doubt; that's completely understandable, especially in a new environment like college. But being authentic and true to yourself is crucial for forming genuine connections, even if it means some people won't click with you immediately. In my experience, the right friendships develop naturally when you embrace who you truly are! 😊
