i can honestly say that i know how you feel. i feel that way alot of the time. but mostly because i feel that all my friends and even my BF are "moving on" without me. i'm at unversity now. i am 22 years old. over here, i don't have friends my age. i'm basically a loner. i mean, i'll sit and talk to them and consider them my friends...you see, the thing with me is that i started studying really late and all my friends were busy finishing up when i started and i still get that feeling of lonliness everytime i think that i don't have anyone my age here that i can relate to.
your post makes the world of sense. i've thought about dropping put aswell...many times actually. at times i get really depressed ( and the only reason i'm saying this now is because i know what it can do to a person) i would never have said this to anyone had it not been for this post, so i guess thank you is in order.
i guess my point i'm trying to make is just that you are not alone. and now you know that first hand. the solution is just to perservere. see it through. and don't let this depression take up and eat up whats inside you and what you are capable of.
i'm sure you are an extraordinary person. maybe you should go out and try and find friends outside the university enviroment. maybe i should too
best of luck and lots of love
