I'm going to university in a couple of months and I'm shy as fuck. What do I do?

I am naturally pretty shy.

Approach it with the mentality of not having to learn how to make friends with people, but rather, be a man that people would like to be friends with.

As soon as I adopted the mindset that I'm valuable and people are lucky to have a chance to meet me, I found that I became better at making friends myself.

Sounds like a cliche, but lifting helps. When you feel like you look good, it's far easier to approach and whatever.

Keep an open mind. Being away from home, being forced to meet all new people, that's good for you. It's exciting. You'll learn a lot about yourself, for example, what kind of person you are when your parents aren't constantly messing with your head.

You'll find another group of friends that have the same interests as your old ones. But more importantly, try to find some friends who aren't like your old ones. Network, meet lots of new types of people. Lots of guys are shy. Literally everyone is in the same position as you are. Take advantage, lean in, and have fun. Think about all the old Indian fuckers on here who only wish they had the chance that you do.

Which country do you live in?

Alcohol = social lubricant

Almost everyone leans on it, many people are shy'ish by nature when it comes to strangers.

You're far from being alone bro, 70% of the others will be feeling similar

stop overthinking it (read the sidebar instead)

you'll be fine

p.s I was very shy at 17 ,, the worst part about being shy is it holds you back ... try not to let it, you're young, being shy is not 'un-normal' ;D (there's a Lot of Fake out there! If only you knew now what you will learn with time!)
