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

Adaptation can be tough..eventually it will be fine. Pehaps you can start any hobby you like or wanted to start. Go for walks, jog ..it feels good. And be around nature, I mean visit gardens or parks nearby.. we worry more when we are lonely and think about ourselves only.. Go out..breath. Enjoy :)

Thank you, I'll definitely have to take a look at local reserves as I'm in a countryside setting, I actually do love nature, just not yet comfortable trekking someone I've been for only a couple weeks.

You are welcome. Please do visit such places. This is something,I did long back. Nature has its own way of taking care of us. :)
Perhaps you can meet random people and see. Rather than looking for groups..yes, group means safe or secure ..but it also cuts us off from other people..world has become mess due to all groupism..so talk anyone you feel right. :)

I mainly spend some time on social media sites looking for people that have things in common, although it's not always the best action. I'm currently looking forward to my friend visit as he knows my issues with anxiety and is rather caring towards them, we've already planned some adventures of strolling around the nature reserves.
