Hi I'm new :) I'm 18 and have just started Uni but I'm thinking of quitting already because I find it so hard to fit in. I've always been incredible shy but I have a few really good friends. Uni has just been depressing me because I feel alone and none of my friends are with me, I've spoke to a few people but I can't be myself around them and I mostly just don't talk. Anyway I just wanted to meet people who are the same :)

Hi and welcome! :)

If you can, stick with Uni. :) It may not be easy, but try, because when I quit high school things went dramatically downhill. It has taken me 5 years to get back on track and pick up where I left off.

Hi :) I'll try and stay but atm I just really wanna leave, getting a job seems better for me, even though I'd have to stack shelves or something before I can interact with strangers more in a job.

Hi Squishy.

Any new environment is going to feel awkward and alien. You need to give yourself some time to settle in and as your surroundings and environment becoming more familiar you will start to feel more comfortable and less anxious. Im sure deep down that most people feel the same as you but are just no showing it.

Could you possibly get a part-time job and see what suits you better. I think Uni is a great opportunity though and you should try and stick with it. Im sure things will be ok once you settle in.

Hi and welcome!

Stay at the uni, because education is something to fall back on when you need a good job to pay the bills...
