I've just finished Sixth Form and I'm about to head into my 1st year of University to start my undergraduate degree. I've been really excited to start the degree, but I'm super nervous of the social-aspect.

For context, I didn't really have any friends in secondary school. A few people I was aquainted with, maybe, but no one I had a particularly close or meaningful bond with, I struggled with social anxiety throughout my time at Secondary School and Sixth Form to a lesser extent. Whilst I made friends at Sixth Form thanks to my anxiety easing and efforts I've taken to get out of my comfort zone, they weren't friendships I could call long-lasting and in some-ways superficial.

I suffer less of social anxiety/awkwardness now, I can go to people and talk to them and hold a conversation which was something I used to be incapable of. It's just general anxiety now. I'm not a drinker in the slightest, not for religious reasons, I just don't want to drink any alcohol as a personal preference. I'm also not big on parties or clubbing, I'm introverted and much prefer calmer activities and/or doing activities in smaller groups. I'm really nervous I won't be able to make friends during freshers and University as a whole.

Anyone else experiencing this? I'm really nervous.
