I have some questions about being alone, generally some ways to cope with having few/no friends, and whether it permanently effects one's psyche.
So basically I made a terrible choice and went to the wrong college, plus I got shafted pretty hard with my living situation here. I won't go into detail for the sake of time, but I come from New England, all of my friends went to college in New England, and I stupidly went to a small school in Pennsylvania. I fucking hate it here. It's incredibly boring, the places are boring, the people are boring, and I hate everything about this place. I had really good friends in HS, was well known and liked throughout my school, had a 9/10 awesome GF (who broke up with me when I left), but here I'm having a really hard time making friends, haven't hooked up with anyone, and I just generally don't like the culture here, it just doesn't click with me, so next year I'm going to transfer to a school up in New England. My questions are this:
1. I'm an extrovert, and I hate being alone, so what are some strategies for coping with not having any friends here?
2. What are some strategies for staying concerned with schoolwork, cause I want to have good grades for when I transfer?
3. If I successfully become a hermit and don't need people for the rest of the year, will I be able to come back from it, or will I lose all of my social skills? I want to go back to normal when I move back up to New England.
