Hey I’ll be starting college in a few days and I just moved into a dorm. I don’t know anyone in this city and I’m wondering if anyone has some useful tips. I’m one of those people who doesn’t make friends very easily. It’s not that I’m unattractive, rude or some freak. I just have a hard time being myself around new people. It’s almost like I don’t know how to act, and it’s not that I even WANT to “act” a certain way, I can’t help it. I’ve been home schooled, and yes I know people, but I pretty much had one really close friend, other then family. When I’m around her I can talk about anything (the guys we date, people, etc.), and I’m totally myself. She just moved to a different state and it’s hard enough with her gone let alone all the new pressures around me. Just so some of you can get a better idea of me, most people would say I’m rich, pretty, and snobby. I think my thing is I make myself seem above people because I’m scared of what they will really think if they see what I’m like. I know my last statement about me sounds rather vane, but I don’t mean for it to. People say it, that’s all. And yes people say I’m beautiful, blah blah blah, all that stuff but I think the thing about me is I’m just scared they will think differently if they would really see what I’m like... I prefer to stay in my little cocoon and feel like people think I’m some perfect little snob. I’m not saying I am, or even if people really think that, like I said, “prefer to THINK that” but it doesn’t mean it’s true, or even that I believe it is. sorry I’m repeating myself but I want to get my point across.
Anyway if you have any helpful things to say I’ll be glad to hear it. IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE MANY SELF-RIGHTEOUS SNOBS ON HERE WHO ARE ABOVE EVERYONE AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS “BE YOURSELF” ETC. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. I’M SORRY BUT I DON’T SEEM TO KNOW HOW TO JUST “BE MYSELF”, WELL GUESS WHAT? I DON’T CHOOSE TO BECOME A SCARED LITTLE SNOB WHO DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO ACT. TRUST ME, IF I COULD I ‘DD BE PRETTY GLAD CONSIDERING I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LOT LESS. BUT MAYBE THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE AREN’T LITTLE SOCIAL BUTTERFLIES IS BEYOND YOU. THANKS AND DON’T WASTE TIME OR YOURS
