so i just had my floor meeting for my dorm room floor. the RA had everyone go around and say their name, major, where they’re from.

After the meeting, someone sitting next to me asked me where in my city i’m from, and it turns out he lives like 40 mins away. i’m out of state, so this is pretty rare. i’m a second year, and he’s a first year. i get really excited to make new friends so i was like oh cool, are you going to the campus event tomorrow? and he was like yeah, and i was like ok maybe i’ll see you there. and then i also said “stop by and say hi anytime, i’m down in {room number}!” he seemed a little bit tense (which i understand) but

then later i knocked on his door to ask if he wanted to get lunch tomorrow, and he didn’t answer. i’m afraid he was ignoring me.

these situations make me socially anxious because i don’t know if im showing too much interest, and i’ve noticed that people my age are extra careful about not seeming too excited whereas i do not have as much of that sense.
