 I'm lonely and I'm homesick and I've proven that even if I upend my entire life, nothing really changes. I still struggle to make friends, romantic connections or even more than passing acquaintances. And it's all my fault. I don't go out, I don't join clubs (or I join a couple and get pissy in fairly short order and quit

Ri. Stop being a hard-ass on your lily delicate buttocks. Some people aren't meant to be extremely perky and sociable, and I happen to like those people, because the friends they do pick and keep generally are of better quality (oh hai, see what I did there

I do see what you did there ;) And you're mostly right about having a few good friends - I'm generally fine with that and love the friends I do have, but I really haven't made a lot of friends here. And by not a lot, I mean I can go four or five days without human interaction if I don't have class. I'm hoping moving on campus will help - we have a weekly house dinner in which I will *have* to talk to people and people will generally have to talk to me. Also, there's free wine, which makes everything better.

That was mostly a really tough night, but I am being anti-social. I most stay in my room and dick around on the internet or study. That's sort of what kills me - I thought I'd change my behaviours because I changed my location, but I'm doing the same things wrong again and again and again.

I like your psychologist- good advice and positive metaphors FTW! It's like I'm getting therapy for free on the interwebs!

Thanks for the kind thoughts and good advice!
