You say you're in a university, that's probably the easiest place to find people. You don't need a fricking "how to" book if you're already surrounded by people your age and with similar interests. Once you get into the workplace it'd be harder with all those middle aged people. If you want to find friends, stop being a prick. Who wants to hang around a prick? Do you?

I go to a community college and I'm having trouble transferring to a university. Just to point that out; almost all of my classes are middle aged. And, if you know the difference between a university and a community college, you understand that community college classes are almost always needlessly quiet. And, people try to spend as little time there as possible. In other words, it's not
that easy to find people there.
And although I'm not completely a prick to strangers, it's just more unfriendly. There's levels in being a prick, of course. It's not that I'm amazingly rude to everyone I meet, it's more that I have amazing prejudice against entire groups of people (i.e. nerds as you pointed out) and therefore have a tendency to be distant if not cruel.

Really, the most depressed and pessimistic people I've met are all baby boomer age. And they really do have reason to be. People under 25 or 30, I really don't see how their life stories can be nearly as bad as some I've heard from old people. You still have a lot of time unlike them.

I agree, and wonder what the hell is the problem with me for being so damn bitchy at this age.

Argh! Although my feelings of alienation have increased, actually, since this post, I'm learning how to better mask the feeling externally, which is good.... I think. I don't know if that's good, actually, if only because we are a society who is obsessed with sharing our feelings, and I'm vaguely certain that masking feelings is bad, generally.
Are there places to meet people that is
not school.
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
