Maybe it would be helpful to focus on yourself and your studies, as opposed to thinking too much about how your classmates perceive you and compare to you?

You're absolutely right, M. I've gotten a lot better at doing that. We all have one thing in common -- we're there for an education, and that's the most important thing. But I think there is a social aspect to it that I can't totally ignore. That's much less of an issue now that I'm working full-time; I simply don't have any time to hang out and chat anymore. Mostly, I just go to class and come straight back home and do homework, or work work.
There's just that 15-minute break in the three-hour class where I'm not always sure what to do with myself, and the few minutes before and after class when everyone's packing up. Then again, I was socially awkward even when I was the same age as everyone else. Just can't put too much pressure on myself, y'know, relax.
