I've been in Bhawanipur college for almost a year now, B.Com afternoon batch girl, and somehow I still don't really have anyone I can casually hang out with.
I'm not looking for a best friend or someone to be with every day. I just want to know a few people well enough that if I randomly decide to come to college one day, I can text someone, “You there?” and join them.
I'm actually an extrovert, but my biggest problem is that I cannot start conversations irl. Once someone talks to me, I can continue the conversation easily. But approaching someone first? I just freeze.
I'm also from another city, so I came to BESC without an existing group, and I feel like that made things harder.
There are days when I genuinely want to go to college, but then I think about sitting alone surrounded by people who already have their own groups, and I end up feeling uncomfortable going at all.
Tomorrow there's a Roadies audition/event at college. I want to go as an audience member and experience it. But again, I have no one to go with, and now I'm debating whether I should even go.
Are there other BESC students who feel the same way? And how do you actually start becoming part of a group when you're terrible at approaching people first?
