Do you meet people in classes?

Post Reply New Topic

The first few days of high school, I learned about familiarity, and that if you're not a complete stranger, it works like magic when you try to talk to them.


Obviously, though, as I have learned the last 2 years, it was much more emotionally complex than that.

Also, that your friends are the people you feel comfortable around, and enjoy. Thats what makes an activity "social".


So do you get friendly in class or is it more business?

I don't know what I'd say to people, and they don't talk to me, either.
I can't look people in the face, so it probably creeps them out.

I usually banter with my professors, cause I know a lot already about the subject material,
and I know I've been made fun of for it.

But that's the extent of my knowledge of other students' conversations.

Pretty sure social activity isn't restricted to just interaction between friends.
Interesting definition of "friends", though.

My parents and boyfriend are the only people I know, really, and I enjoy being around them-
are they friends, you think?

You should probably try and make friends with people in your class, especially during that first month of school. I'm not saying to talk during class but you may want to be extra friendly and try to get to know people from your class. The first couple of months are critical for making friends. Also, joining extracurricular activities are a great way to make friends.

The thing about high school is that if you don't make friends in the beginning, it is awfully hard to make them at all once everyone knows each other. In college, it is a bit easier since there's more people (depending on the size of course) but I found college to be a much more difficult place to make friends. I had nerdy friends in high school so I assumed I'd make some in college too. No. I did not. And not because I didn't try to. I talked, I thought people liked me, and yet...nothing ever happened. I still don't know why other people could get people to interact with them outside of class and I couldn't.

But it just gets worse after college.
