A loner lurks the halls of AAU

You know you're a complete loner when you curl on the floor in the darkest corner of the room with nothing but your home-packed lunch and a little book for your entertainment. How sad. I think I've come to realize I'm not a very sociable person with the rest of the world. I guess I was in denial before because I find it a bit hard to believe because I used to be very loud and obnoxious in high school – but maybe I just had friends around that made feel like it was all right to act that way. And I used to think that being introverted doesn't necessary mean you're anti-social. But man, this sucks. I can’t seem to make friends in college at all. I don’t know or don’t want to talk to anyone else. Maybe I’m just shy, but I doubt that. I’m losing my friends making skills! I tried, one time, to talk to this other guy next to me - it didn’t turn out well. It was all just small talk and nothing interesting happened. We just talked about classes for no more than 2 minutes and it just went into awkward mode the next 2 seconds. Funny thing is, whenever I’m with Tiff, I have no problem talking to other people, but it’s still very shallow. Maybe she’s the more outgoing one. Oh gosh .. I just realize how this is going to affect my future - no networking. Epic fail!!! I guess I need to learn how to get out of my comfort bubble - or maybe I should WANT to leave the bubble first.
