Something I realized today

Andrew I haven't really met anyone here either, i just basically go out to do stuff with Ady and Kevin.

We just got to these places though. Yeah it sucks, but at least if we do meet people it'll be more meaningful if we're not just making friends and clinging here and there.

Besides.. we could start a gang

[lockedinaroom]

Hahaha, yeah. People don't seem too into gangs here. You're lucky you have friends who live near you.

[flamingapathy]

Yeah.. but i kinda feel it's stopping me from meeting new people.

I guess I could just you know, join a sorority! jk

[lockedinaroom]

Lol, 'cause we both know you're into that sort of thing. You say that hanging out with friends from home is contributing to your lack of outward social contact, but sororities are cop-out fake friendships in most cases. That'd be worse.

I'm your friend. I'm your woman-friend.

[lockedinaroom]

Hahaha, I know. My ladyfriend.

By "near," I was indicating same college. But you're geographically closer to me than any of my other friends.

me? optimist?

It's not necessarily a bad thing. I lived in "social solitude" for a long time, ever since I came to this country. Of course, at first, the language problem was the barrier. I suppose I met my first "real" friend only about 2 years ago. But you're absolutely right about the freedom part. I think that because of that freedom of behavior, I developed a weirdness (or uniqueness, how ever you look at it). But also, I can distinguish very clearly, who are really my friends and who are not. The loneliness part is difficult, but hey, think of it this way, when else in your time are you going to have that freedom again?

Yeah... I wonder, though. Why does that happen? Do people find us offensive in some way? Or are we just self-conscious? I mean, would you agree with me when I said, "even the least self-conscious of us worry about at least one of these or any of a number of other qualities of interpersonal relationships at some point," referring to the maintenance of one's appearance and concern over other's impression of oneself? Or is it something else?
