And when they were opened I realized that a girl from my group was already sitting inside because she went round the back!And I noticed in class people were talking about how many people got in touch with them by mobile phones a few days ago, and realized that people dont phone me a lot.I was sitting in class playing drama games with my drama group and made a guess to what someone was doing which was "Waiting for someone to text her". She said no and when I asked if she does that at home sometimes she said no but I do all the time!These three events all stuck in my head, what changes do you think I should make to my life because of them?

I think you're over-analysing things. Chill out and make some friends down the uni bar.

If u want things to happen its best not to just sit around and wait and hope. ACTION is what is needed.
You ask for numbers, do some phoning and texting and you'll soon be getting so many replies back that u may just have to switch that phone off!
Find something that interests u outside of uni work and you'll have so much more to talk about. These interests will also take your mind off negative thoughts. Alot of people who don't use their phone so much actually see their friends much more!
If u ask for help eg about how to get in the back way,most people in this situation are happy to share.
If u show interest in other peoples lives and be a friend there will be plenty who will reciprocate. There may be some who don't but it will depend on who interests u and vice verse.
At uni we are all in the same boat and there will be others who feel the same way. It may be worth talking about this to a few in a general conversational way and see what happens. Don't forget to join the uni clubs as well.
Above all keep smiling and talking. Positive focus will bring positive outcomes eventually.
Take care.

The indifference with which you record your observation is almost absorbing, very ironic. In the middle of your passage, for example, you have placed together, one after another, two things: the calm realisation and acceptance of the fact ‘that people don’t phone me a lot', and soon after that ‘I was sitting in my class playing dram games’ is simply saddening and annoying, I don’t know why but it is. I do not feel like playing games after I have just realised that I am out of touch with the most popular connecting invention of the world. I would rather like to reflect upon this, but you do not and this is intriguing.
Perhaps, you should seek the ways of your heart better and harder. You need to feel passionately about things in your life, let them get to you at times, and have courage to invest emotionally into other people. The lack of it, I think, is making you think and analyse events so calmly and impersonally that it could be irritating.

I think you are worrying too much. go to the Uni bar regularly, go out to lunch with a few classmates, and that way people will start sharing numbers with you. The best way is simply go to the Uni hang-outs and enjoy yourself!

Be really good in one or two things in life but be humble about those and give all the help to people who ask for it.

I agree with Roxy. These small things don't matter too much. If you freak out about them, then consequences will probably become evident. Just calm down and trust your instincts.

no one likes to feel short on friends and support but i'm sure you wouldn't want to feel pitied either. do these people who don't phone even have your number? do you have theirs? just call em...break the ice...i'm certain you are just as fun to be around as anyone else...you need some confidence x

does it really matter? mobile phones cause brain damage any way so just be grateful. in ten years time all those other kids may be in hospital getting brain cell trans-plants.
