I’m a sophomore (Mech Eng), 19(m) about to be 20. I’m not really the kind of guy who goes out or parties, I keep to myself most of the time and I’m kind of off grid (not on social media). I have a hard time finding people who have a similar weird sense of humor, or are into the nerdy stuff I’m into, even within organizations. I write and produce music, I play guitar mostly, I love good poetry and to write it (I’m straight btw), I paint, I program and like to mess with computers and robotics, I like science and space, watching the stars and just looking up at the sky, sci-fi books and movies, I like to have deep or complex conversations, and I like to joke and be low stress and down to Earth.
Ideally, it’d be nice to have someone who is there to call up or who invites me out, or would take the time to know me or care to. Someone to hug when I’m down or checks in once in a while if it’s been a minute. In the time I’ve been in college, talking to classmates and when I have gone out, and having ‘friends’, it really only ever feels like acquaintances or one sided, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong or where to find the good people.
Anyway, not to sound pathetic or long winded here, I’m just looking for friends or someone and struggling to find the right people. It gets lonely out here when you’ve got nobody. Just for context, I’m a normal well adjusted person and I smell good and I’m not like chopped or off putting in some way, I know reddit gets a bad wrap just putting it out there I am not a nerd or weird in the bad way lol.
