I'm slowly turning into a complete shut-in, /adv/, and it's because of college, of all possible reasons.
Greentexting my recent history:
>used to be social butterfly
>constantly went out & shit
>college started (havent switched cities for it or anything)
>everybody's already acquainted with eachother because of common housing
>i live at home and spend 2h for daily go+return commute
>can't find common ground with college mates
>time is always an issue
>avalanche of homework
>now I barely have time for my old friends
>Every day is: wake>class>gym>homework>sleep
How do I into socialising again? The only thing keeping me from becoming a complete shut-in is the fact that (thankfully) my pc is so shit that it can't run any games lol.
>pic related is my personality profile

I understand, mate, I have type ENTP-T and I've gone through similar.
I used to be social, and I was told by 4chan that it would get friends if I had confidence and social skills. Everyone I spoke to seemed to loathe me for it, because I was in a tumblrina crowd. Unfortunately.
I didn't succeed, the failure and their words hurt as I never really insulted back, and I let it push me into being more of a shutin than ever, since I do have a computer that can run games from my new job's hire bonus.
My only advice is: Don't go down my path, keep trying to find people, resist the pull to being a recluse.
It's challenging because of your schedule, but you could consider taking less credits next term and using the spare time to join an on-campus activity/club.
Everyone makes friends in college because it is so easy.
You on the other hand fucked yourself as you have 1h commute each way.
You have to make friends when you share 2 stoves with 16 people ha.
Group classes are great for friends but that is an upper 3 or 4 years.
You'll be need to get involve d in a club or something as well

>extroverted personality traits
>complete shut-in
Pick one, OP.
>>16991251
There's no such thing as flexible credit in my country's university system, that's the shitty part. Everybody plows through equal amounts of shit, except the masochistic folk who sign up for some bullshit extra courses that drag their GPA up.
Thanks a lot for the advice, though. I'll keep on looking for people.
>>16991259
Ayy lmao I definitely would've until now, but "muh time constraints"
I feel like I'm at a crossroads between passing and social life.
>>16991261
read the greentext: up until October I was the kind of person you'd constantly hear saying: "let's hang out", "come at my place", "let's go cycling", etc.
>>16991230
OP we're pretty similar, except for the whole introvert vs extrovert thing.
But how are people like me (pic related) even supposed to give you advice on this? You're the expert, your result even says "PEOPLE MASTERY".

top kek

I'm sorry, but living in residnece where you share 2 showers, 2 stoves and have parties every weekend, how could you not of made friends?
You had to be friends with the people on your floor.
Then a group project or club if you are so inclined.
Hell I've got a lot of friends through my part time job.
Meeting people in class, for me never turned into anything unless we worked as a group but that was just me.
If you wanted to make friends you really could.

>have parties every weekend
Didn't go to them, don't like em
>You had to be friends with the people on your floor.
Nope, barely even talked to roommate
>Then a group project or club if you are so inclined.
Joined some, didn't become friends with other members
And so on.
That's kind of the point of the whole "introversion/extroversion" thing on these results: >>16991230 >>16991277.
I'm expected to be a shut-in. OP's not.
>>16991261
Being extroverted doesn't necessarily mean someone is good at socialising or even does, it simply means they like socialising and it feels important to them.
>>16991368
Well fuck I don't know what to tell you then.
>>16991425
It means they focus energy on what's happening outside, and this leads to being more social.
I've played flight sims for a long, long time. And it's made me very anal about communication.
I'm going to start dumping pics I think you'll find interesting. Starting with my special snowflake debater type

Pretty trips

>Your're an extrovert, you now have no time to socialise.
The only true solution would be to find a way to combine your work with socialising. This may mean studying with friends. It may even mean meeting new people who you can talk to on your commutes. You need to find a way to allocate time, this is crucial for you to keep socialising, there is not other way. Time is not only key to being able to socialise but is also necessary to being able to communicate to your self and collect your thoughts which you are clearly struggling with. So find time, no mater what, before it is too late.
For context, I am a ENTJ-T, I am reserved and I find it extremely hard to relate to people and take things to offence. Before I knew it I was a social recluse. I am working towards having a social life, but it has been extremely difficult, especially after somewhat forgetting how to socialise. So don't become a complete shut-in and find time, time to make sit down with a friend. Use the advantages of your personality type as that; advantages.

The only failures are ISFP/ESFPs ;)
>>16991464
I am an INFP-T*
i'm tired
>>16991471
I guess so
Last one.
Enjoy, save, share. And shit
>>16991497
Hmm, I like these, they're simple.
Welcome to life, everyone's busy. You have to sacrifice some stuff so you could do other stuff. Try to study more efficiently. Also, MBTI is bullshit, might as well read the horoscope.
