I don't know. I started uni in Feb, 2 hours by plane from where i live, and i'm staying in a hostel with 500 people who i didn't know before coming. i've never been the shy type. or the self conscious type. i've never been the type to get stressed.. But since coming, i've been feeling like an outsider, everyone's made their friends, and i don't at all feel like i'm part of a group. i always worry about who i'm going to sit with for lunch and dinner, and although there's always people i know who are eating, i don't feel i've gotten close enough with anyone for them to think, 'hmm, i wonder where she is today'. it's kinda going in a cycle - because of this, i'm feeling even more insecure and held back, so never know what to say, and can't open up to people, which is making it even harder to fit in. i'm just feeling lonely, and kind of like if i wasn't here no one would notice. I've never felt like this before, i've always been confident, high self esteem etc. i don't know what i want you to say, i just felt i wanted to tell someone. its really getting to me.

no, i'm in classes of 1200 - 1800 people. people on my floor of the hostel are all realllly close now, and two of them really can't stand me, not sure why. I mean, you can't expect everyone to love you, but i don't understand their dirty looks everytime i open my mouth. i just, agh. i think i'm homesick, but i'm not. i don't know what's going on. i just have trouble making the effort to make friends atm, i don't know what's up. AGH. i DONT KNOW! :S

Lad, there should be a person you can talk to about this at the university!! I say "should" be, but it sounds like there isn't!!!

thanks, that really helped :) it'll help with the course work too, i'm finding it soo hard. i think the main thing that's really making me upset and hurting my self-esteem is the b*tches on my floor who treat me like im an absolute loser who doesn't belong. i mean, friends of mine think they're a really unfriendly bunch, but i just have to shrug my shoulders and say, they're alright, so it doesn't sound like i'm having problems with them. i want to confront them but a) i don't have the courage, and b) i know everyone will go more against me. i guess the main comfort is that i know in time i'll make friends, because it probably takes me a while to open up to people. but for the moment its really upsetting.
