Honestly, doesn't sound too normal. I am a shy person, when I was in high school I only had a few close friends b/c of it. However, when I went to college I mad tons of friends, easily.
Do you live in a dorm or do you live at home? If you live in a dorm, maybe you haven't put yourself out there. For one reason or another, people don't feel like you are a person that they want to get to know. You need to join a club, or get involved with people whom live in your dorm.
If you find it hard to approach people, i would go your university counseling services (most schools have them) and talk to someone. Maybe you need a boast of confidence.
You need to find friends. Your college years are the best years of your life. If you don't find some friend soon, you will continue to be lonely for the next 3 years.
Get out there, be open to others and be yourself. Get help if you need it.

Maybe you just aren't one of the "popular" types, and good for you.... You probably have too much depth for them.
In college, I think there are a lot of people who are very shallow and self-involved, and there are also some studious, serious people who aren't there for socializing, so it's not such a bad thing that you haven't made a friend yet.
Is there a club for something you are interested in, where you could meet people who are also interested in common? That might be a good place to meet a friend.

And in the journey that they ever invite me to at least some thing, it sounds thrilling at the starting up, yet I frequently finally end up skipping out. i'm no longer truly positive why, yet I in simple terms favor to be on my own.

This is VERY NORMAL for Freshmen. Start up your own club. Go to the university chapel. You have to start up conversations if you want to make friends. Most people are just as lost as you are as Freshmen. Keep your chin up, it will get better.

Were you not able to make friends in high school, junior high, even gradschool. That's probably just your personality, you don't eaisly make friends; but the ones you do mean a lot. Relax you OK, just concentrate on your studies.
