I would shy away from starting a relationship. If you have an emotional void and fill it with a relationship, usually it doesn't work out. That's just from my personal experience though.
In your first year of college, you have a lot of stuff to learn, as do the people around you.
I don't understand what the exact catalyst of your misanthropy was, but it wasn't always that way, right?
If you think that you let people step all over you too often, it's probably true. There's a fine line between sacrificial and passive. Stand up for yourself if you think they're screwing you over. You deserve it. If you let them do it and you don't immediately respond, what's to stop them from doing it again?
Also, make sure you aren't just being emo over nothing. Maybe your shrink really had scheduling problems. It's a campus shrink and I'm sure it can get really busy. I'm just saying that the probability is pretty likely, so why be skeptical? Maybe you have your reasons, but I mean, don't sweat the small stuff... more likely than not, there's a good explanation. Ask them about it first. If you don't want to hear their side of the story and just sulk, that is entirely your decision.
I'm not saying that absolutely everyone is looking out for you and makes you their top priority, but I think that it's tempting, and easier, to pity ourselves than to talk to people on a deeper level.
But again, I hope I'm not being too harsh... I'm just going on what I've read. I don't know the details of your situation, so I won't say much more.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
