This is my 1st semester at uni and it has not lived up to my expectations. My social interactions are extremely limited and I find it really hard to interact with people, as if I've lost all my confidence ever since I've moved here. I find myself depressed, not wanting to step out of my room, isolating myself very often. These struggles take a massive toll on me and are affecting my academic performance as well. Is this normal? How do I go about changing my ways and do coming semesters get any better?
