[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I made a couple close friends. [b]But I didn't have that great group of friends you're still friends with years later. I was lonely a lot and on the fringes of other groups, [/b]plus I had one good friend I roomed with junior and senior year which helped.

For me I think it was that I spent too much time with a boyfriend my first year. But I also just wasn't very adept at making friends? [b]And I did not really mesh with anyone on my freshman hall - there was a big clique I wasted too much time trying to be a part of. I should have realized sooner they didn't want to include me and branched out more.[/b][/quote]

OP here. That was exactly my situation. My freshman hall had one big clique, and I tried very hard freshman year to fit into the big group of girls who were all friends with each other on my floor. I should've realized sooner that they were not interested in being friends with me, but for some reason I thought that being nice to them would have them "invite" me into their friend group.

And yes, same experience here with being lonely very frequently, not having a great group of friends who you're still friends with after graduation, and being on the fringes of other social circles.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm on the spectrum, but I got a neuropsych eval in grad school and the answer was no. [/quote]
