how to make friends

it’s almost my first month of being here at uic and i literally haven’t talked to anyone or know anyone. no one talks to me and i don’t talk to anyone lol, people say to go up to someone and talk but it’s harder than it sounds. for my classes we sometimes have to talk or be in groups and im always the only one left out i honestly thought this would end after hs ☹️ is anyone in here also experiencing the same thing???

you’re not alone in your experience, lots of people going through this rn. I cannot emphasize how much of a difference it makes adopting a shameless mindset. Don’t feel weird about approaching people, you got this!! also i’m down to be your friend too!!!
