Thanks for all of the replies. I'm seriously thinking about the gym thing, and it am trying to force myself to get more involved in clubs/activities. I'm just terrified of being around other people I guess. It always feels so awkward. I'm generally such an anxious person that I'm pretty sure I make them nervous. Anyway, I agree that going away wasn't for me; however, I am at a top ten university with a huge academic scholarship and a bunch of other grants, which I am really, really, really grateful for, because I couldn't have afforded school otherwise. I basically have no choice but to stay, and academically, I'm really grateful to be here, because it challenges me. I'm studying computer science with a minor in english. It's just really lonely when I isolate myself, and it's worse knowing that my lack of friends is all my fault. I appreciate your help, and I'll definitely keep trying and working on your suggestions.
