I’m Having A Social Life Crisis In College…how Do I Find My Place In This City?


I’m a sophomore in college (and female) and I’m going through what I suppose a lot of college students are (even though it doesn’t seem like it) where I’m trying to figure out where I belong in life. It’s sort of a confusion phase of figuring out your future, who you are, and what you want from life. I think last year as a freshman I was more lost than ever, but now I feel relatively more comfortable in my new home. I moved from a rural area to a (smaller/medium-sized) city, so it took some getting used to, and I still am getting used to it in some regards.
Despite this, I’m still not “settled” or exactly comfortable in my own shoes. I’m trying to figure out where I fit in (with respect to social groups in college); there’s obviously a life after college, too, so I would like to have some sense of security in terms of social friendships/relationships, because (correct me if I’m wrong) developing those connections is very difficult after college.
I feel intimidated because it seems like so many students have found their niche in life by the time they are my age (ie: a sophomore, approaching junior year) and are not looking for a group of friends. How can I ensure that I find my place in this city? I’m quite school/career focused and individualistic and so is everyone else…so sometimes I find it difficult to make those personal connections. Most people I know seem to be confident about their life and have a lot going for them. Whereas I just feel confused and hopeful for a good future. I guess it’s not that I’m not doing anything… I get mostly A’s, have a part time job, and a few good friends (2 or 3 close friends) but for some reason I still can’t find my niche where I feel comfortable with myself. Two of those three close friends also have a lot of friends, so I’m more of an “option”. I’m also single (and have been since I was 16) so having a relationship is something I’d like to happen in the next couple of years
Any general life advice? I just really don’t feel like I’ve found my niche or a close GROUP of friends that give me a sense of closeness, stability and support. I really don’t think I’m one of those weird people who can’t make friends–I’m totally like-able, but I feel unsettled like I’m lacking something in the social department

Ways To Overcome Social Anxiety?


I have a mild case of social anxiety. I am afraid to follow my dreams because I am scared of what others will say or think. I am surrounded by people who love me, but also by a lot of negative people who enjoy hurting others. My social anxiety is becoming worse and worse and it is now at the point where I don’t do the things I love or express my opinion on anything because I don’t like people laughing at me or spreading rumors about me.
I love the band Allstar Weekend but I don’t tell anyone because everyone I know likes rap and thinks that Disney is stupid (Allstar Weekend is signed to Hollywood Records, affiliated with Radio Disney). I also want to be on Radio Disney’s Next Big Thing because I love to sing and play guitar with my friends, but I don’t try out because I’m scared of what those negative people will say about me when they see me on Disney or hear that I would rather sing pop-rock songs then rap.
Also, when someone doesn’t like me, it’s all I can think about. Even if I know that they are not support of me and it’s not healthy for them to be in my life, I only think about them not liking me (I’m not one of those people who clings to bad relationships or feels unworthy or lies down and takes a beating, but I care if a former friend or someone I talked to hates me). It is all I think about!
How can I overcome this social anxiety? I’m tired of being excited by an idea, only to have it crushed because the thoughts of what others will say consumes me.
