Making friends in community college?

-I'll be attending community college next month as a freshman, and I've been worrying about how my social life is gonna be. I had no friends in high school because I was quiet and a little shy. I also wasn't ever involved in anything like everyone else, therefore it was hard to make and maintain friendships.



I'm a nice guy and I'm funny once you get to know me (or so I've been told), but what I wanna know is, are people more open minded and accepting in community college, or do they try to form cliques with people they know from high school? I've heard it goes both ways, but if you're similar to me, what was your transition like from high school to community college?Just get invloved. Don't be shy.

Join clubs (if there are any)

Be forward and be yourself.

Don't try and be someone else to get friends.

Just be yourself, but a little more forward.

Be talkative and think about what you will say in conversations to avoid awkward silences.

Ask questions, don't just answer when people ask you something. People like it when you show interest. Doesn't just work on dates :pFriends are over rated I have 2 good friends I've known most of my life, and I have no interest in making new friends. I just raise my daughter now and besides humans suck.
I understand how you feel and I am exactly like you and shy. I graduated high school 2 years ago, which to me seems a long time ago. I remember the people at school to be very territorial and not that open and many at times very immature. It was boring because there were no outer connections to people besides in the school. And yes I was in an all boys private school which was worse.



But now I go to technical college which is like uni but on a smaller scale. The people here are more diverse with very interesting agendas. They seem to be more open and friendly because they are there to learn the things they are interested in ,which is unlike school. I generally find it easier to approach people and be approached. I think uni in some sense is like a village in its own right and definately has a better atmosphere than school. I am sure you will connect to some others, and remember sometimes it takes time. Best of luck
