School is starting soon lads and I am another socially retarded 20 year old with minimal friends that I don't even keep in touch with anymore. Basically how do you start making friends and finding people you connect with or enjoy spending time with? My cousins have started uni already and seemed to have connected almost immediately after moving into their dorm. How do people do that? I try to be friendly but I also don't know how to carry conversations like normal people??? How do I find a people even if they already have well knitted cliques?
Please I'm terribly lonely and looking for good people to hang out with.
hobbies, anon. what are yours?
Join a club
I'm assuming you're in college, there's plenty. Even sporty clubs are typically welcoming of beginners. Just pick something you like and go at it.

I have no sound ones at the moment..... but I do art and I draw pretty well, paint, the occasional vidya game (particularly of the shooter or horror genre), am into computer science... god I have to tell you I have no idea sometimes. I don't want to sound like I'm looking for sympathy points but depression has kinda taken most of my hobbies and interests away so I can't remember much to be honest

Then do that.
People aren't going to come up to your randomly and become friends. Get to know them through other things.
Maybe do some study groups with people on class then keep in touch afterwards.

i got into cycling. it's a fairly easy (depending on your physical fitness) and an easy way to meet other people. most colleges have them or check online for your local groups.
