If I'm halfway through sophomore year in college and I still

If your college is big enough you can always turn it around, it's never too late.

Though if you can't make friends there's something wrong with you. You need to seek out therapy.

My school only has about 11,500 students, and making positive connections with people I see in classes and everything is easy.

But they aren't "friends" because I never do anything with anyone when I'm not just talking with them on the street or something.

To go beyond that I feel would be extremely hard, much harder than any physical feat or problem to solve.

Should I seek therapy?

>>17770585
Yeah, you probably should. I'm guessing you have low esteem or were bullied at one point.

Connecting with people shouldn't be too hard to do

>I'm guessing you have low esteem or were bullied at one point.
Everyone in my elementary school hated me and I was all alone there from third until fifth grade, but I'm not sure if that counts as bullying.

Either way, I feel like I don't really deserve friends until I get stronger and more knowledgeable.

Could it just be that I need to accomplish something big, and then I'll be able to make friends? Like, getting a PhD or climbing a mountain? Or both?

That's a messed up way of thinking. I seriously think you have asperger's or are so developmentally stunted. Either way it's too much to be solved on 4chan. Go to your school's counseling center. Find someone you like and stick wih them

I have roommates I'm good friends with, but I don't just want to piggyback on their friends for my social circle because that's bitchmode.
>I seriously think you have asperger's or are so developmentally stunted.
I've wondered if I have asperger's a lot, and it would be no surprise if I'm seriously developmentally stunted.

Also I went to the counseling center but I really don't want to admit to someone that's literally on the fucking campus that I have a hard time making new friends.

I'm talking about a therapist. Find one you like and stick with them. Don't get a woman who gives shit advice. Go for a man who will be honest with you, if they seem like a jerk that's the person you need.

The therapists there are professional, they cannot talk about your case with anyone. Plus, they hear way worse stuff everyday

>>17770639
I'm not sure that there are any male therapists there, all I've gotten is a female intern who I honestly just feel embarrassed to talk to.

And besides, wouldn't getting stronger do more for my confidence than talking to someone?
I bet if I really try I could break my record of 315 on deadlift, it's not much and I still am too embarrassed about how low a number it is to go back to the school gym but if I broke it I might feel adequate.

I've done exactly that. It does shit. Why do you think /fit/ is referred to as /r9k/ with muscles?

Just go see a fucking therapists

>>17770658
I guess I'll do that, obviously what I've been doing hasn't been working so I might as well try it.
