Been at college for a few years now and noticed I really haven't been able to make any close friends. Some old friends I have that are the same age seem completely uninterested in even finding new people to talk to. With people I've gotten to know, I almost always have to be the sole person initiating conversation. It feels like if we are in the same class or club we can be acquaintances, but the last chance to be real friends was meeting during first-year orientation. When I was a minor you could just talk to people and become friends. Am I just unlucky, or is this shift in behavior common as people get older?
