To anyone who's in university or has attended before, is it normal to feel lonely as hell. Like, even the first day of uni, people already had friend groups and cliques, and despite going against my instincts and putting myself out there to meet people, I always end up like an outsider. I'm also quite far away from my family now so besides the occasional calls from my parents, I literally have no one else. I thought uni was supposed to be this "eye opening" experience where you truly discover your true self, but it feels like mentally, I've gone backwards. I am grateful to have this opportunity, obviously, and the course I'm doing is something I actually enjoy studying (Creative Writing) but It's been over a month now since the start and it has not improved whatsoever. Is this normal or am I cooked? Cuz from what I've heard from many others, they're having the times of their lives. The only time I've been genuinely happy here was when I got high, but if I need a drug to make me feel positive, then somethings wrong there.
