    How do I mingle with college kids that I dont know?

    I am having such a hard time making friends in general. I dont have alot of friends and all my friends are too busy, live out of state, and my work schedule sucks, I dont drive or have the time to meet people but I figured if I was in the area alot and I see the same people around everyday, I would think I could mingle with them. So for the past few days, I been trying to socialize with college students on the bus because I ride the public bus every day and I see the same students getting on and off the bus and hanging with their own little crowd so I thought I would be friendly and I said: "Hey how are you guys doing? I am so and so...do you go to school around here?" and they will be very snobby and especially one of the girl's will say: "WHY ARE YOU EVEN TALKING TO ME?! I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU!" And I said: "Because I am just being friendly. I like meeting people and making friends." and I smiled and she was so stuck up and said: "ARN'T YOU IN COLLEGE?!" And I told her: "Nope, I dont go to school around here. I work full-time." and she just got all freaked out and said: "WOW!!! YOU'RE A CREEP!" And after she said that, I started crying in tears because that really hurt my feelings!

    Now that's why I cant meet people because I am not in college and I dont know anybody. So my question is, why can't I meet decent friends when I am not in college? Even if I dont go to college but want to hang around college students to fit in because I want to socialize and get involved, how can I do that? Its hard for me to make friends and I feel so depressed over it and lonely!!! I dont deserve this kind of treatment! All I get is ignored and no one talks to me or wants me to get involved in their group! Why can I just meet people and make friends in public for God Sakes?! Why can’t people talk to me on the bus when I am riding it everyday?! It’s not like I am a complete stranger, I am part of the community and want to meet people and have people like me or want to socialize with me like a normal human being! IT’S LIKE EVERYONE KNOWS EACH OTHER ALREADY LIKE: “HI!! OH MY GOOD TO SEE YOU! HOW’S YOUR CLASS?!” And they don’t like meeting new people and it makes me very jealous and lonely feeling left out! What should I do?

    Okay, that girl you talked to probably was not the best person to approach first.

    But are you a lot older than them? Some people have a hard time seeing themselves hanging out with older people.

    There's also other places to meet people! Do you go the gym? take walks? go for coffee?
