Echoing that it sounds like his reaction wasn't to you.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're not stupid for "wasting an opportunity" talking to him. You were already out of your comfort zone, had pulled an all nighter, and I'm willing to bet you had an idea of how it would happen that was nothing like what actually happened when you saw him. Seeing him stressed would have thrown most people in your situation, I think. It would have thrown me, anyways. And there's no reason you can't talk to him next week or the time after that or the time after that. If you never build up the nerve, that's OK.

I hope you don't stay angry with yourself and you shouldn't be disappointed in yourself, either. It isn't easy to put oneself out there like that. And that first year of college is absolute hell. Just when you think you've got a routine or are getting comfortable, something changes and you're ready to start packing your bags again. It's scary and stressful and nothing like I ever see it depicted in media. But you're not alone in feeling that way: most of the people around you feel the same way.

I think student groups and activities are a great way to meet others, as some have said. I met most of my friends in college from just running into the same people so often that we were comfortable with each other long before we ever spoke. Oddly enough, most of the time it was while eating that we ran into each other so our get togethers these days usually revolve around food.

Whatever happens and whatever you try, I hope it all goes well for you. And don't be too hard on yourself :)
