1. that the same exact things will most likely happen like before. I will end up going to classes, then going back to my dorm, and spending any free time locked in my room playing video games alone. Ive tried really hard to be friendly to people but many of them dont seem that interested and thats fine. I tried out almost every club at school and they dont interest me. I dont get invited to any parties or anything. I spent a lot of my free time trying hard just to get somewhere socially. I would walk around campus hours just to find something to do but there was like nothing. I tried cold approaching girls but it just feels really weird in this setting. My only real hope and joy is possibly befriending one of the plentiful amount of good looking girls at the school and hanging out with them but it just seems impossible unless Im introduced in a nonweird way. I hate social circle 'game' as some call it and its not my thing if I have to become some douchey jocky dumb party guy or anything fake and flamboyant (because thats not me). Despite all this, I have a feeling it will be just like the last 2 years. :/
2. Im scared of the new environment. I have few friends so I got a random roommate which is pretty sad. There s a lot I dont know about him and he seems OK but Im scared about him and the new people on my floor. I keep telling myself not to give a crap because last year I was on the same exact floor and everybody just did their own thing and ignored me. It wouldnt even matter if I made a complete fool out of myself because they wouldnt care in the end. But somehow the fear is still there _________________ Just trying to meet a 10.

You have a new roommate who you haven't met. Perfect. Get to know him; for all you know, he's your ticket into becoming more social around campus. Venture out of your room and get to know the guys on your floor in passing. I promise, no one is going to say "get the fuck away from me, loser". Everyone is there to make friends. Play to your strengths; if you're funny, make them laugh. If you have a special skill, start a conversation and work that information into the dialogue and let them know about it. If you have a favorite sports team, bring it up and see if anyone else has similar tastes. Seriously, you have nothing to lose now. What's the worst that can happen? Worst case scenario, you won't "click" with anyone and you'll spend your time playing video games in your dorm again. You won't die.
Good luck, and stay confident.
