Yeah, I got into Auburn... So getting friends is easier in college?

You should be fine. Especially if you dorm on campus & have roommates/suitemates. Made some lifelong friends in college. I don't speak or see them much as I would like, but whenever we link up, it;s like we never missed a beat.

Breh you'll be fine. :mjlol:


I have two associates who go there. One is an oreo, social butterfly so he obviously had no problem. The other was a lone wolf. He has more associates and friends than he knows what to do with. Even as simple as something as a random trips to the rec, you'll run a game or two with someone and dude
will mention something that you both end up conversing about for the rest of the day.
You don't even have to extroverted to meet people in school. Just leave your room.
Just don't make the mistake of considering everyone who invites you to a party or comes to kick it over a couple of beers and a game of 2K as your "friend."
Still, make sure to network and play politics if you have to. I can't stress that enough.

This part is important

:smugfavre: Listen to people more. The less you talk, and the more you listen, the easier you can find the good apples from the bad ones. After developing your listening skills, you can understand people to the next level and then you strike.

Its that unknown psychological mindgame, once you get inside what is going in there head, you have the master plan of how to talk to them.

Being 6'8'' in college you will be straight because people will come up to you; because everybody will think you play ball

baby, that was the old me
All through high school I just walked up to a random person or a group of people and said something to start a conversation and that's how it started.

I don't think I can do that in the streets though. A random 6'8" black dude walking up do people who don't me? That's just asking for some shyt.

How and where do you approach people? I've been awkward my entire life, and I got a terrible stutter. I probably won't talk to anybody from HS so I gotta get to know new people but I truthfully don't know how to do this?

I know something called speacheasy that could help the stutter or go to a speech therapist.

You can make friends anywhere. Hoop with some dudes or work out.

Position yourself around people with similar interests
Work on your conversation and wittiness
Yea this is it. And just put yourself out there. My network down here in NC after like a year is damn near bigger than my network in NYC after 28, simply because I have more opportunities to meet people
