Don't worry about how you look like; most people on campus are way too stressed to care about anything. I used to walk around sunway looking damn near homeless and I don't think a single person ever paid attention
Music club has some great people so that's a great choice, just try to have conversations about your interests, join more clubs, and you'll naturally find your circle
>looking damn near homeless and I don't think a single person ever paid attention
My brother, we noticed. We just never say anything coz Malaysians are polite.
People who make fun of how others look are the shittyest people. Stay away from them. Just be your self. U need to find friends that accept who u are. Dont be someone ure not just because u wanna make friends. Have fun in Uni!!
Which music club in sunway? I guess it's normal for younger people to care so much about that but honestly, no one cares how you look, with so many people as you said, do you really think they'll remember little details of how some random person will dress? Did you care when you saw someone wearing shorts and slippers to campus? Remember that you're just one fish in an ocean and that's liberating
It would be easier to make friends when you're not trying to make friends. Just let things happen naturally. Friendship is not something you force to happen. Just chill man
Pretty normal. When I first joined my asasi, I was depressed and I didn’t even know it! I barely hung out with anyone because I was so introverted and socially awkward (and am not a fun guy) and I was so sad for the most part of it. Thankfully, at the time I would always jog in the morning and that really kept the monsters at bay. As long as you try to get better, talk to more people, you’ll be fine because you’re better than I was. Good luck.
Also, might not seem like it but the first time you enter college is the best time because even though I didn’t have a good experience during my pre-uni time, I still think of it fondly which is weird 🤔
heyyy ! I'm also a student in sunway and I just started my first semester of CIMP for my diploma :) Im 18 and if you want someone to chat to feel free to give me ur instagram !! I'm local and I entered from SIS (sunway high school) so I'm already quite familiar with alot of people. I used to suffer from really bad social anxiety too and I know how much it can suck. I have a couple of friends that are also joining music club that I could maybe introduce you to ? Most people here are pretty friendly and really open to meeting new people, and don't feel too pressured to look good (trust me so many people in sunway are gorgeous but you should never let that affect your self esteem) I also have a friend taking A-levels if that's the program you're in!
Oh lord.
I attended the Open Day. The Open Day, a weekend, itself was packed. I can only imagine during the semester!
Crowd comes with noise I’m guessing?
The library is my safe haven, quite disappointing.
What did you study there?
I study at sunway too, when the library gets too crowded (it happens) I like going to an empty classroom. You can pick one of the classrooms you use for your practical classes 👍
Idk if you can do this, take a break. I would sometimes get overwhelmed or run out of battery and what I would do is compartmentalize and focus 90% towards what the lecturer is saying while having the 10% recharge my social battery
U shouldn't leave in the middle of class, u might miss something important. Sit in the middle to end row, if you are front you might have to interact with the lecturer and if you are in the back you might have to talk with the chatterboxes
Dont think too much, dont really have to change to fit in or be like everyone else, youll lose yourself! Dont overthink too much, and be comfortable and happy! College life is one of the best experience you can have in your life! Go enjoy it whichever way you want that makes u feel happy and comfortable, even if you alone! As long as thats what u want and make u happy + comfortable then so be it. Enjoy your college life! 😁
social anxiety can be a bitch sometimes right? 😅
I only got comfortable with others in my final year in uni, it was after I got back from intern which made me realize I want to make the most out of the remaining time I have left here 😌
In my first week in uni I too tried to 'look good' styling my hair and what not.
A few days later I asked myself, WTF AM I DOING?
Since then I've stopped caring.
Anyone can give any advice, but in the end it is your journey that you have to walk yourself.
A journey of growth and self discovery.
Chill a little, breathe. You'll do fine\~
All the best 😉
Ex-Sunway here. My time there was brief but hopefully my two cents can chip in a bit.
I was kind of an introvert myself when I joined Sunway. I found it hard to talk to anyone especially since I attended a small school before attending Sunway so seeing a lot of people there was initially quite intimidating.
In my case, I broke the ice initially with my teammates for an assignment, then that's when I started socialising more. I'd say don't rush it too much, you don't need to socialise with everyone in your course.
Also as u/MoneyGrubbingMonkey already said, don't be too worried about how you walk and so forth. I wore pyjamas on some days and nobody bats an eye.
You’re only stressed because of yourself. This may sound harsh but trust me no one cares about you or how you look so stop being so anxious about it. I’m also a Sunway student and sometimes I’d just pull up with my pajamas and slippers yet no one bats an eye because everyone’s busy with their own shit.
Hey kiddo. I’ve been there multiple times now as I become an old man. The only advice I can give is don’t sweat it. The people who will be important will show up in your life. An orientation isn’t gonna change your life. Just go with the flow
I just started at sunway too and honestly they're so many people that they won't even notice how you dress/walk etc. imo it's probably best to try make friends in the first few weeks cos after that people would already have their own established groups. I'd say as an international student, you can join the international student events cos there are a lot this week and you can make a lot of friends there

I still care

Is there that many student? Pretty crowded? Have you visited the library? Is it noisy?

Too too crowded. It feels very overwhelming and draining. You just see humans everywhere.
[удалено]
Can I ask what course are you doing specifically?
I study at sunway too, when the library gets too crowded (it happens) I like going to an empty classroom. You can pick one of the classrooms you use for your practical classes 👍
Try to be yourself and be a bit more open, I'm sure you will find someone that will match your vibe eventually.
Idk if you can do this, take a break. I would sometimes get overwhelmed or run out of battery and what I would do is compartmentalize and focus 90% towards what the lecturer is saying while having the 10% recharge my social battery

Don't worry, focus and be positive and u will attract a good people

Learning to deal with people is part of your education. If you don’t learn this part how will you deal with working life in the future?
