I Have Social Anxiety

I've just moved away for uni and am incredibly struggling with adapting to the situation whether it's actually in lectures or even in the flat. I stay in my room, maybe say a hi once a day and tend to only use the kitchen when I know everyone has went out. It's rather unsettling attempting to find comfort in the place your gonna call home for the next 3 years when you're rather inept to social cues

Sorry I can relate. College was tough for me socially. Do you know anyone there?

Absolutely no one, actually the moment I hear someone's from my home town I perk up with the hope that maybe they'll be something in common, but most people have made there own social group since.

I did that too, went out of state by myself. It seemed everyone else paired and grouped up so easily. Are there any activities, groups, clubs, sports, etc you can join?

@Rootstoblossom: That's what I'm attempting to look out for currently, I know there's a club going on in my course which I'm considering joining and it peaks an interest, I just need to make sure my timetable doesn't clash with it.
