Well... I started my summer classes today... This will be my third semester back in school, and I still don't really know anyone. I know I'm only a couple years older than the kids in my classes, but being out here with these people just seems to make the things I don't like about me stand out even more in my eyes. I think part of me is afraid to talk to anyone out of the fear that they will full out reject me.
I mean, I've made friends before, but I don't remember it being so hard. Granted, the classroom setting isn't the best place to get to know your neighbors, but I just don't think I have anything to offer these kids. And any of the older people have families and kids and spouses and all that, so it's not like they would even have time for more friends (between work and school and raising a family and all that stuff...)
I suppose what I'm getting at is that not knowing anyone makes me feel lonely... Go freaking figure...
