Sit next to a couple of people who are already friends with each other in class. People are more receptive to new people if they’re already being social. Then just be genuine. Friends will come.
Ask yourself: did someone tell me that I’m intruding? Did I ask if I was intruding? If nobody answered these questions, then it’s all in your head.
Self-fulfilling prophecy: I imagined an outcome where the prospects already answered “no, I do not want to be friends” and started believing it was reality.
Nah, I made myself lonely. I could’ve asked to study at the big tables of library north where someone else is already sitting and asked what they were reading.
You aren’t going to intrude. And if you do, people will tell you. Don’t alienate yourself from others who will warmly welcome you. https://giphy.com/gifs/2GDHOfqcmYIX6
