Perhaps you could join clubs and social events outside college? I deliberately changed colleges from one in an isolated rural area to a big city so that I could have a choice of several different social scenes. It didn't solve everything!!! But it was a good move to study in a place where I felt stimulated and interested by life around me, rather than where I was surrounded by recreational drugs and manipulative people.
Since then I've seen young people who felt repressed at college suddenly reach out and find the right internship, for example. Their feelings changed overnight from despair to courage.
You will still struggle, but it's good to feel around for any social opportunities that excite you.

I could be writing that to myself : I'm having a stale social time right now, but transitioning to a new situation. I get scared that life will always be this much of a struggle, and it will, but I know that changing my situation will change the opportunities on offer.
