I’ve been trying really hard but nothing is working

First of all, how have you been in college for two months? Classes didn’t start until the 26th. So at most, it’s been fewer than seven weeks. Why did you start crying three times a day? What does your therapist say?

Friends don’t happen overnight, or even in seven weeks. It takes time. You are
not the only person who feels like this. It will happen, just not as quickly as you think.

You are doing things right. Keep going to clubs. Get a campus job in a sociable place like the gym or bookstore. Get involved in volunteering or with campus religious groups. Join study groups. Stay out of your room if you’re in a single. Be where other people are. Carry a bag of candy or cookies, and if people are nearby who look approachable, pull out the bag, eat one, and offer some to a stranger. Persevere. You’ll be okay.
