Happy story, huh?

Well, I'm now on my 3rd year in university and am quite content with my life, but that was certainly not true 2 years back. I never had any real friends in high school – just acquaintances at best – and the little social interaction I had outside of family was playing games with some friends from middle school, but with getting in a good and free university being a priority for me, I had to distance myself from gaming in general and, by consequence, my friends. By the end of 2014 I hardly talked with anyone outside of family and even then I'd most of the time go and read something instead.
This, of course, led to me being stressed out over entrance exams and I ended up failing two of them, which only made things worse. Now, OP must be asking what is so happy about this story?
Well, I actually did pass in another exam and got myself in a great university (which did a lot to my self-esteem and general stress, since I now could actually enjoy what little vacation I had left). I still was not quite in the right state of mind to try and reconnect with my old friends though. I was not that bad, but still just kind... there.
Then university starts and things started going downhill again. Suddenly, I wasn't the "smart guy" like in high school and the first classes hit hard. The texts are piling up and I can just imagine how bad I'll fail-
When I meet this one guy. He's wearing a Green Lantern shirt and talking with someone else about an anime he had started watching – an anime I quite like, in fact. So I go and decide to talk to him about it.
That was probably the longest talk I had with anyone in an year, by that point. There's no expectations, no talking about things I care little or nothing about, just three guys talking about shit they like and having fun.
After class we share other common interests and that ends up with me being invited to a tabletop session. (1/2)

Days later, I meet new people who I can share my common interests with and are genuinely friendly. This was also my first RPG session in quite a long time and I kind of went over the top with background for my character (something I tend to do) so I'm hopped into being the DM for another session.
With that, I got back into amateur writing – something I'd dropped when I started studying – and went about creating an adventure. This led to me trying to take some thing out of a previous campaign I'd been the DM for, with my old friends. Then, instead of simply trying to find some month's old scribbles in a notebook somewhere in my room, I finally take the iniciative to talk to my old friends. I re-install skype and damn, I'm instantly invited to a group call with them. We talk, they ask why I was away for so long, how they'd seen I got into a good university through my social media and asked how I was liking it. I told them a less depressing version of the previous months and then got into the topic of RPGs. Somehow, this led to me asking my uni friends if two of my old friends could join in and "sure, why the hell not?".
Now, a lot of things happened since then – I started going to some parties and later even joined a club – but these events were the ones that brought me back from the dark place I was in and helped me rebuild my social life.
And it all happened because of one guy in a Green Lantern T-shirt and an RPG session.

I hope you get out of that dark place too, anon. Cheers
