>>5952873Personality is an interesting thing, it was a class I took to get my degree actually. The thing about personality types is that they're prone to swaying into each other from time to time, though they become more solidified over time. Which means you can control a little bit how to moderate your weaknesses now. Not saying that not talking about pop culture topics is a weakness, but clearly you'd like to be more social. My best advice is try to clear judgment of people before you get to know them, college is a diverse place (and yes some people are funded by the bank of dad) and it's worth exploring to try to find your niche. Just keep putting yourself out there and you're going to find a commonality with someone. I know you said you're shy and telling you to be social is like telling a depressed person to stop being sad, but... It is something in your power and you can try to explore topics that might allow you to delve deeper into personal relationships with other people. Try to find an academic extracurricular outlet - this will help you with job searching in the future to have experience and it'll get you close to like-minded people. I hope this helps. I wish you luck anon, college is an interesting, fun and scary time.
>>5952884I have similar advice for you anon. Try to get out there and open up about different topics to try to find common grounds with someone. Even if it's just one of your classmates. Also get involved with something at the school and you'll find like-minded people.
