I stopped caring about what other people think, focused on what I truly wanted out of life and stopped comparing myself to other people. Everyone is on a different path in life and it's easy to compare yourself (especially in college). Friends will come at the right time and place, it'll just happen without you even thinking about it but you cannot stress anticipating how or when it will happen. If people don't like who you are, then they are not worth your time; life is just too short to deal with people who bring you down. The best friends you will make ultimately result from you being yourself, not acting like someone you are not. So put yourself out there, go to events you truly like and do not just go on the sole purpose of making friends. Sooner or later you will find a cool person who shares the same interests and who likes you for who you are. They will be willing to drop anything to hang out or help you, that is a true friend.
