I don't know, I can't bring myself to agree with that; you shouldn't throw in the towel quite that easily, because even when things go south, you have to find a way to get back up and come out the other side a little more resilient, right? You just can't walk away from what you've set your sights on, because at the end of the day, if you really want something bad enough, there's always a way to make it happen.😉
Look, those girls aren't the only people on campus, you know? You're going to find another crew eventually. It’s not like you have to go out of your way to "kiss up" to everyone in your major, nor do you need to lay out your entire life story to them. Honestly, just having someone to sit with during a break, grabbing a coffee after a lecture, or swapping study guides—that's more than enough. Don't be afraid to actually strike up a conversation; nobody is going to laugh at you or shut you down just because you tried to join a group.
I've got a handful of people at school I'm cool with, but as for everyone else? I barely notice they exist. We might exchange a quick nod or a "hey," but that's about it. And for what it's worth, I haven't been getting into any arguments or spreading gossip. Around here, the guys don't really lean into that kind of drama. 😁
All in all, just don't let it get to you and keep moving forward. Good luck. 😉
