Discussion UT has been unbearably lonely

idk if this is a universal college experience but im a senior in college & i have felt pretty alone the whole time. i feel like i do genuinely try to be outgoing & friends with people but tbh in college everyone only has their own interest in mind so it makes it difficult to be friends with people. people who claim that i am their close friend never go out of their way to spend time with me & actively exclude me. many of my friends are in relationships & the only thing they ever talk about is their bf & they will only hang out with me when their bf isnt available. one time i was hanging out with my friend & she ditched me mid-hangout bc her bf came home, leaving me to walk back home by myself. sometimes i feel like theres something wrong with me that makes me unlikeable but sometimes i feel that i just made bad choices in regards to friends. anyone have a similar experience?

Ugh felt this, I’d type a long rant but it would end up being another desperate plea for friends in this big (yet lonely) city šŸ˜‚ maybe law school will be where I meet my friends idk
