Hello I am an incoming junior transfer social work major and I am a very shy and introverted and want to make friends but not sure how. I have always had a hard time getting out of my comfort zone and my shell. I am thinking about joining a club or organization but I’m worried about not being able to manage that on top of my classes m. I don’t know what classes I will be taking yet or what my schedule is. But I was wondering if anybody had any club or organization recommendations that are either similar or close to my major. Or in general ig. Also I wonder if the school has any activities or clubs that involve art or creativity like arts and crafts that would be nice too. Just for fun not to take to seriously like I’m going to school for it. Any other recommendations outside of what I said are welcome as well.

Hello, today I was sitting in my room ruminating on my thoughts and thinking about how sad I am to not have any emotional support . I am a 20 year old college student currently in community college. I have had a friend to text or talk to sense I graduated high school 2 years ago. And even when I was in high school I still felt lonely. I had acquaintances and one girl that I knew for a while that I did text in and outside of school and we called each other best friends but we never hung out outside of school once. I feel like I have never been the first choice for anybody ever and it sucks I feel like something wrong with me because building social connections has always been difficult for me? Part of me feels like it’s my fault I feel like I have nothing to talk about when ppl ask me about myself I never know what to say it’s always very surface level . When it comes to
Emotional support I do live with the both of my parents and my brother and they are nice but they don’t know how to emotionally support me. I don’t feel safe to come to them about things bc they never created the space for me to comfortably express myself to them without judgement. They say I can talk to them about anything but I don’t feel like that’s true at all. I love them but our relationship isn’t very emotionally deep at all it’s pretty surface level we don’t have deep conversations where we talk about ourselves or our interests. My point is I feel stuck in a rut and I wish I had a friend or someone to talk to and hang out with just having a social life in general not even for the emotional support but the experience and community you get from having friends is something I have always wanted. I have never vented on Reddit before but I have been on here a lot lately and thought I might give it a shot and maybe people would help or give advice.

Hello, I am a newly admitted transfer student and I was wondering if the orientation for transfer students requires you to say the night like the newly admitted freshman students. I haven’t made my reservation yet bc I plan on doing it tomorrow but does it ask you during the registration process if your a transfer or not and what grade your in? Bc I really don’t want to stay the night and do multiple days of orientation😐😃
