The second thing you do is walk out of your room and start being a MAN. What i just read sounded like it was written by a woman. You need to cope with a change of environment? Come on! Say it out loud to yourself. Are your bones broken? Is your body covered with deep wounds? Are you weak from excessive loss of blood? No? Then what the HELL do you have to cope with? WOMEN need to cope with emotions. MEN go out there and enjoy every minute of life, because it's too damn short to waste it feeling sorry for yourself!

The third thing you do is get some hobbies. Seriously. If you don't have any, you're BORING. What are you gonna talk about with people? The weather? A man's life should revolve around his interests, his hobbies. Not around his friends, girlfriends, etc. Those people are just there to enchance the experience, not to create it for you. You'll notice that this is also the best way to meet people, as its easy to become friends with someone if you've got something in common.


This is one of the most intelligent and insightful thing I have read on ATOT. For real...

I also want to add another thing...you definitely don't want to overanalyze these situations. Just go out and meet some people. Don't think about what you're going to say and just do it.
