How to make improvements in my social life/gain more confidence as someone thats overweight?(besides losing weight… I’m working on it already)

I feel like when it comes to my weight I often stay quiet and reserved so people dont notice im fat. Obviously that doesn’t really make sense. Im a adult mentor at a summer program and they always say that the room we meet in is one of the safest places to be yourself. And im starting to bring that feeling/energy out of that meeting room. Ive been trying to put myself out there gradually the past 2 days. Like today, I realized I walk with my head down. So while I walked around home depot I walked with my head up. I think I need more confidence. I feel most confident when I look good, but planning outfits takes so much time. Especially since theres a specific style I like but cant ever find. clothes my size that match that style. And then I actually have to get them ready (ironing and stuff) that often just makes me put on a random tshirt and sweatpants. I also value being comfortable so thats another reason

How do I learn to like conversations?

I am very much an introvert. I don’t really like talking with people and would very much prefer chilling by myself or with my friends. I want to change that. I have no conversation skills nor charisma because everything feels so scripted when talking to new people that I don’t care and just want to get through the motions.

For example, I work at a library. I’m meeting so many new people daily and every conversation feels the same. When I’m helping them with their issues its always like this:

“Are you a student here?”

Me: “Yeah. Im a sophomore. You?”

“Yeah I am. What’s your major?”

Me: “Computer Science. I like it. What about you?”

And then theyll say their major and thatll he the conversation.

I don’t really care about what their telling me and I think thats the issue. I don’t know you, so I don’t care about your major, or what you’re doing here. I know this is a bad mentality to have but I can’t seem to care, and I hate having to act like I do.

Keeping Gold Scholarship

Winter 26, has by far been my worst semester in my whole Academic Career. Calc 2 whooped my ass, and other life events really messed me up. Gold scholarship says to keep it you must maintain a 3.0 gpa. I got a C- in calc 2 and my GPA is at a 2.8. Lowest it’s ever been in my life. Is there someone I can contact about being able to keep the scholarship? What steps would I need to take to see if they’ll grant me the opportunity to keep it.

I have a final at 8 am, but I would have to arrive on campus at 6 am because of something else I have going on. Are there any places open at 6am on campus?
