How to make more friends in college

This might sound cringe to some people, but it worked for me, and sure as hell can work for you.

The most important thing is really how you say the following, not what you're actually saying, be it with guys or girls. It doesn't really matter.

You need to choose your sample wisely. Choose people you're taking class with or people you're seeing on regular basis, physical proximity is important. Also try choosing freshmen. They will be much more receptive.

To start with, you need to say the stuff I'll give you in a deep and relaxed voice, with strong body language, basically standing with a good posture, and SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLY. Just be conscious of speaking x2 slower and x2 deeper, and you're golden.

Wanna know the magic words? For real.

"Hello, hey. Excuse me" *grab their attention*

"I'm new here. I'm a freshman. And... uhmm... (SLOOWW DOWN) I have no friends. I'm lonely, and I want to make new friends. " *guage their reaction* and trust me you'll know.

If they laugh, are receptive to your approach, they'll introduce themselves back and you'll take it from there.

If they don't or start acting like the world is revolving around them, fuck them. Move on to the next potential friend.

Let the converrsation flow. Don't think about TRP or PUA. Be honest, be nice, whatever the fuck works for you, just talk and get out of your bubble.

Embrace the awkwardness. People start freaking out when it's awkward while really there's nothing wrong with that. The funny thing is that EVERYONE LITERALLY WANT TO HAVE THE BALLS THAT YOU DO TO SAY THAT because it's honest and straightforward, so trust me they'll appreciate you.

Most of freshmen are too shy to do anything.

I have really made so many friends just doing that. I actually always do it. I usually go to social events alone and that's always my opener "I'm here alone and I wanna meet people". If they like me, they'll talk back, if they don't, they'll fuck off, which they're welcome to do any time in the conversation.
