In your situation you'd have to make a great effort to get noticed, and to start talking to people. College is really hard to deal with sometimes. If you want to say hi to someone jsut do it, dont think twice and smile, people will feel drawn to a warm smile. Also help people, if you sit next to someone in class say hi to them ask them about themselves. These things are sure to help you on your way.

I do try these things none of it works. It all comes down to popularity and money. If you dont have it these days your going to be one lonely soul for a long long time.

That's not true, everybody at college faces that same problem at some point, most of the time at the beginning. Nobody cares how much money you have (many students are on financial aid, remember), and in college, there is no such thing as popularity. Popularity is lame anyway. What you want to do is find a group of people who share your interests and whom you can be yourself around. You meet many many new people at college, and everybody's really friendly and mature, so just talk to the people in your classes, or join some club or sport or something. When you talk to them, make an effort to really get to know them and ask them to hang out with you more often and do something fun outside of class. Ask them to see a movie with you or go to one of the events at your college. There's plenty of things you can do with people. College is what you make of it. If you think you're never going to make friends, then you won't. You can't just sit there waiting for people to come to you and hoping that a girlfriend will just magically fall out of the sky. You have to get out there and do something to get what you want. I encourage you to join something, anything that you are interested in, and you are gauranteed to find new friends who share your interests.

I have tried talking to people on several occasions it just does not work. I guess for some people its easier for them than others. I just dont really know what to do, if i fail every time i try whats the point of keeping on trying just to fail once again?

I understand what you are going through because I am going through it now...I basically have been living in the same city for my whole life and my friends have been with me forever and since the start of college all of them left because of school and I was kinda forced to go to the university that is close to home so I live at home. And it really sucks when people just totally ignore you. And just a fyi I try and smile at anyone that looks in my direction just because its polite. And sometimes people would just look away like wtf...and its really hard to meet people. I know that I should join something but its not that easy especially if you don't live on campu while everyone else are with people from school basically 24/7...just talk to people that are waiting for class to start like ask about future quizzes or tests and stuff like that...and strike up some convo with someone that sits next to you...maybe you might find some common interest between you two...I hope that might find someone to befriend with and maybe find a gf...GOOD LUCK!!!

Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

I'm also in my 2nd year and haven't made a single friend. But I also am very shy, don't talk to people, don't join clubs so its all my fault, but still. I'm so inferior, nobody would want to be my friend anyways.

People in your class maybe, or hall and yea maybe join another club aswell, maybe a more outgoing and have some fun with them. Club reps and peeps, are the nicest people cos they want you to join their club.
