There's a ton of gay people in college. He will have a lot of girl/guy friends. College will most definitely be easier for him. Most people don't give a shite, and if they do, they simply don't talk to him.

Answer this question. If you are a fairly normal looking person who can speak to other people than you can make friends damn it! I've already given you my fraternity advice. Do that! If that doesn't work out there are other options.
You say you have a roommate. Are you not friends at all? If he's going somewhere ASK to go with him. Can't hurt. If he's a total dick and says no there has to be some sort of club you can join. What are your interests? Let me know, I can probably help (you better not be a troll either, because some of the other posters seem to think you might be faking this, I hope not, I don't like wasting my time.)

You need to sack up, dude. You have no confidence and that's Why you can't make friends. Bc you are to scared of rejection. Do you go out or anything? Join any clubs? He'll, most colleges have video game clubs (not affiliated with the school). Do you do drugs? No? Try it. You're in college. shite you're depressing, you make me want to go make friends for you.

I guess I can try rush. Atleast I can say I tried. And roommate is a weirdo/dick. Looks like a sumo wrestler( he is Korean). I haven't had time for clubs because of school but Im going to do intramural sports. Also, I should've picked a better dorm. Louise Garig was a mistake.

College is the easiest time to make friends. Even if you are total social reject you should easily be able to find other rejects like you in college.
Finding friends when you leave college and enter the adult world....now that can be difficult.

This is a bullshite statement. You can make time. I was in a fraternity, in several clubs, went out all the time and made time for school. I graduated with a high GPA while being extremely busy. No more excuses.
BTW, intramural sports is a good idea, but make sure you have some talent for the sport. Obviously rejection is an issue for you and in your words you said you were "short and fat". frick it though, at least try something.
Damn, you're making me feel like a shrink and that is far from my chosen career........

I had trouble making friends too. I commuted from home. Try meeting friends of friends. Join a club and go to every meeting. Also, join a frat like Theta chi or beta kappa gamma. Try to move into a better dorm like Acadian

Typically their closeted, but they're not fooling anybody. Have a few I suspected and ending up coming out of the closet, and then some that are still obviously closeted.

It seems like if they were suspect or possibly closeted they would not get a bid (that's the way it would have been in my day). Why did y'all give them bids if you suspected they were gay? (Once again, not a homophobe, just seems odd in a fraternity environment).

Get these indecisive words out of your vocabulary. If you aren't trolling, my best advice to you is to be decisive and stop caring about rejection.

Yeah I'm learning how difficult it is as an adult to make new friends. In college you are around people your age all day long so chances are you will find someone you connect with on a friendship level.
After you leave college this isn't the case anymore. You might make friends at work, but it isn't guaranteed or you are friendly with them at work but don't see them outside a work environment.
Also, people tend to already have their "group" of friends. Add people are focusing on their marriages and families and that also adds to the difficulty. It's not impossible, you just have to actually try more at it.

It's really easy to make friends if you live in a dorm. Especially if it's one of the "Residential Colleges."
Posted on 3/10/14 at 2:15 pm to Tigerbait357
Im sure if he joined some groups/clubs he will make friends. However, I cant find any groups/clubs that im interested in joining.

i would advise all freshmen to live in their res. college dorm

Once he was going through pledgeship it because kind of obvious but at the same time his pledge class all liked him and we couldn't come up with any possible reason too. He was always the first one to the house and the last to leave at anything they had to do. Never failed any test or anything. I guess he knew he had a short leash but he was the best pledge as far as effort. Really the only reason people wanted him out was because we thought he was gay and that looks pretty bad 2 months into pledgeship and would have been obvious to every sorority that he had befriended and would have burned more bridges than it was worth.
