I graduated last year only making 1 friend through uni, and she's my only friend but she has other friends, so we don't hang out super often.
Plus we were only friends the last year of uni. I was alone all 3 years of it.
I'm a social person. literally people's first impression of me were "you're like a golden retriever" or "she's very friendly", I made acquaintances in uni, people to talk to whenever we meet.. but not really "friends"
I graduated and got in a foreign company… and I made friends literally right away. like I'm literally good friends with mostly everyone there..
and that got me thinking.. in uni I literally sat in the bathroom for 2 hours during a school trip cuz I was ashamed of being a loner… is it the environment…?
Was I not welcomed..?
but I literally tried so hard to be friends with them..
I guess they already had their own clique..
it's also not a language barrier, I'm very fluent in Japanese.. they just view me "as an outsider"..
maybe things would've been better if I went to an international uni (my 2nd choice) like I was supposed to..
I kind of regret things, but I know there's nothing I could do.
I'm glad I have friends now though! I love my group.
plus because of that, I learnt how to enjoy my own company. literally went solo travelling so often! I now am not scared to be alone.
Guess there's a positive to being a loner in uni lolol
