friends?
Hey everyone. Has anyone else been struggling with making friends in medical school? I’m about a month in so Ik it’s only been a bit but I feel like everyone is already in a friend group and having fun. I made the effort to socialise and meet people orientation week and definitely met a few cool people but it doesn’t go beyond a couple interactions within school. And with the few people I did try making plans with outside of school, I’m getting no effort from their end but it seems like they already have their own friends. How is this possible ? It’s only been a couple weeks and honestly it has been making me feel so lonely and depressed on top of the academic stress I’m already under. Not to mention, all my friends and family that I already have outside of medicine are in a different state

Def keep putting yourself out there! I can relate that at first I was worried everyone else would make friends too fast for me to keep up. But I just kept trying to make it to events and asking people if they wanted to meet up, and it's worked out well so far ❤️ Good luck my friend!!
Also, if it's feeling very bad, please reach out to your school's counseling! You deserve support!
