I'm a neurodivergent (ADHD, social anxiety, rejection dysphoria) med student at college. I'm a black sheep in that I'm from another country and like 10 years older than most of my cohort (33) though I don't look it. I am quite shy and keep to myself, although I have interests in ballet performing and jiu-jitsu. I make very infrequent posts on social media mostly about these interests and travelling.
In the first year at college, I met a lot of classmates who added me/I added on Instagram.
However, 4 years in, I have yet to make a single friend and I get the feeling either a lot of students dislike me or exclude me actively from groups at college. It's compounded due to social anxiety and rejection dysphoria (constantly feeling that people dislike me). People rarely ask me how I am doing, approach me to talk or want to hang out with me, so there is some truth in that though. I started to exclude and keep to myself in classes due to not wanting to make the effort anymore for nothing. I turn up, complete my work then quietly leave.
Whenever I put up my stories or posts - none of my university classmates like any of them - but I see many always watch my stories - even if they are unfriendly in person, don't integrate me in groups, or completely blank me IRL in class.
I feel uncomfortable giving access to them viewing my personal life. Also significant - the only people who ever like my posts or stories are the friends and people I met doing ballet and jiu jitsu - all outside university.
So, I decided to remove and block a lot of the university classmates of whom I'm in medical school with for the next three years.
The criteria I applied were 1) Do we talk and interact regularly IRL 2) have they interacted with any of my stuff and 3) Are they friendly IRL? Using that system, I removed all of my classmates at uni, except for 4. I blocked them, so they wouldn't see I unfollowed - just an Error message and they won't see my (public) profile at all.
Was this reasonable?
