Re: Disappointed

[saku]

did you try talking to him? his reaction seems kind of odd if it was geared towards you, so i'm gonna wager it was something else. i'd recommend trying to start a conversation next time if you haven't already; that's the easiest way to tell if someone is interested in talking to you/hanging out/etc. even if it's mostly just in his body language, engaging him directly will ensure that most of his reactions are going to be at you rather than just random or whatever.

idk what kind of college you go to, but most places have clubs and organisations and events and stuff. my first couple of years at ball state were weird; my first year i had a roommate for about a month but then she left, and while i liked having the room to myself, i didn't know anybody at the university and wasn't in any clubs or anything, so w/o a roommate i was more or less solitary. my second year i joined an excellence in leadership program but that was pretty much it. it wasn't until last year that i really started going out, exploring my campus and meeting other people. i joined student government and was in a lot of committees and stuff. i was in the second phase of the leadership program which required me to join a small group and organise/complete a service project together. i discovered the university's electronic gaming league and all the perks that came with it. i'm a pretty quiet person so it took awhile but eventually people would ask me what game i was playing, or would talk to me about SGA-related stuff, etc.

so i mean you might not know anybody right now but sometimes it takes people awhile to establish themselves, or get themselves out there. it's understandable that you feel discouraged but it's also way too early to be giving up, imo.

I realize now that I phrased that poorly; it's not when I sat down that he started to look upset, it's just that I didn't notice he looked upset until I sat down. which is why I didn't try talking to him.

there are clubs and stuff, but 99% of the ones I wanted to join cost $25-50 in membership fees alone, which I can't afford. the one free one that I went to a meeting for turned out to be completely different than what I thought--plus, it was all older kids who had been in the club for a while, and they made a big deal about club bar crawls, which I can't participate in because all the bars are 19+.

it's true that things will probably get better though. I should be trying harder somehow. things are just adding up that make it seem worse than it probably is.

ohhh i get it. yeah that can be hit and miss in my experience, i always err on the side of caution re: talking to strangers who look upset.

sucks that most of the clubs have membership fees though, but there might be ways to get around those. it wouldn't hurt to ask at the very least.

Re: Disappointed

that's true, I can try that. thanks for the advice.
