Why people don't like me?

hey I've been there too but honestly sometimes it's just about timing you know? I mean sometimes people are just caught up in their own worlds maybe they don't even realize they're not engaging much give it some time and things might change! little by little you'll see connections forming around.

It's tough when you feel that invisible barrier around you, especially when you're putting in so much effort to connect. College is such a different environment from high school, and sometimes it takes a while to find "your people." Social dynamics can be tricky to navigate, and it's not unusual for initial interactions to feel a bit forced or awkward. You're right about the cultural differences possibly playing a part. They can definitely mess with communication. Keep doing what you're doing and give yourself some time. It sounds like you're open-minded, which is honestly more than half the battle in making connections that stick.

It's tough starting college, dealing with all the changes, and then feeling like you’re stuck behind that invisible wall you mentioned. You're definitely not alone in feeling that way! Humor and accents can totally impact connections, but I wonder if you've tried getting involved in any specific clubs or activities that align with your interests? Sometimes finding people who share similar passions helps break down those barriers. Keep rocking that positive attitude and remember: "This too shall pass." Do you think maybe it’s partly a temporary phase as everyone adjusts to this new environment?

seems like you're bumping into a classic case of social friction. college can feel like a weird parallel universe where the rules of high school just don't apply, you know? it's not even about you or them being unfriendly; people kinda get stuck in their own bubbles, dealing with new stresses and dynamics. sometimes it's more about letting things flow instead of trying to force connections; try focusing on one person at a time rather than groups. i reckon that'll create some genuine rapport eventually 😉 just keep at it and remember: consistency often breaks down these invisible walls over time.

Man, I totally feel ya on this. It can be tough trying to connect with folks in college when everyone seems caught up in their own worlds; I've been there before too. Sometimes it just takes a little while longer for things to click, and even though it feels super awkward now, you never know when you'll meet someone who just gets what you're about. I remember back in my first year, I started joining random clubs that interested me (even ones I didn’t think were my thing), and surprisingly met some of my closest friends through shared hobbies. Keep putting yourself out there because people are definitely noticing your efforts even if it doesn't seem like it right now ✌️

yaa totally get u same thing happned wen I started uni nobody wanted talk 2 me either took forever b4 ppl finally warmed up

I totally get what you're saying...

It's just hard sometimes :)

dude, i feel you. college is supposed to be this amazing place where you find your tribe and all that jazz, but reality hits different. maybe it's not just about what you're doing wrong; sometimes, people are just in their own world these days with social media and everything??? i've been there too... feeling like i'm in a room full of people but still kinda alone. yeah, the "only way to have a friend is to be one" sounds good on paper, but man, people can be unreal fickle and hard to read sometimes;

I understand your situation but maybe consider trying different clubs or activities outside of your usual routine. It could help break any pre-existing boundaries.

Maybe it's just the initial impression that's hard to change? It's tough breaking into established groups.

Sometimes people appear distant due to reasons unrelated to us personally. Perhaps they might be busy with studies or stressed about something else entirely.

wow, your experience kinda reminds me when i entered my first job and felt like a fish outta water; i thought i was doing everything right to fit in, but conversations would just peter out and i'd second-guess myself.

I've seen something similar before where a friend found it hard at first but she joined an art club later on which made all the difference for her socially because those shared interests brought everyone closer together really fast!

Have you tried sports?

yup definitely true happened 2 me b4 shared classes helped

yep had this happen meetings help tho
