Can I still enjoy university if I do not have a large group of friends?
Yes. You can fully enjoy university life even if you do not have many friends. Value time spent with a small number of people you feel comfortable with, as well as time to study or enjoy your hobbies on your own. Gradually explore forms of involvement that suit you through classes, clubs, part-time work, and university events. There is no need to expand your social circle forcibly.
Key points
- Prioritize the comfort and quality of relationships over the number of friends.
- Enjoy time spent alone as part of university life.
- Try settings such as classes and extracurricular activities where you can interact naturally.
Things to check
- If feelings of loneliness or anxiety continue for a long time, you can consider speaking with your family, someone you trust, or a university counseling service.
