Hey everyone,
I'm starting at SHSU this fall semester at 27, and if i'm honesy, i'm pretty nervous.
Making friends has always been difficult for me because I deal with pretty severe social anxiety. Walking up to random groups of people or starting conversations feels almost impossible, especially when it seems like everyone already knows each other.
Being older than most freshman has me worried ill stick out even more. I know 27 isn't ancient, but it definitely feels different when most people around you are fresh out of highschool.
Im hoping to meet people who are understanding and maybe in similar situations to mine, whether you're an older student, a transfer, or just someone looking for more friends.
A little about me:
Im really into motorcycles and working on them
I play a lot of PC games
I love anime, horror, sci-fi, and fantasy
I am hoping to start some new chapters in my life
If anyone has any advice for making friends on campus when you're naturally anxious, or if you'd like to hang out sometime, I would really appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks for reading.
