You are a pretty shy person and something I've noticed that you do whenever you are alone in a new place or situation is that you stand in the background and take your time to figure out how things work and what is expected before you get comfortable and feel apart of things.
This week, feeling like a loner, you have been reading "Travels with Charley." In the book, Steinbeck is trying to find "America" because he had been living in New York for 25 years and, as he says,
"New York is no more America than Paris is France or London is England..."
Kori, you are in the same situation. You've been living in the shelter of your parent's home and working in the comfort of a family owned office for a little less than three years and now, you're back in a situation that most people your age would call "reality" and it's new to you, so you walk around campus and you spend a lot of time observing people and things.
Naturally, this "observing" thing instead of participating has made you feel like a loser but I don't care what everyone says,
you aren't a loser.
You're just new in town.
So Kori, keep things in perspective... this won't last forever and at some point in everyone's life, they will feel this way too. It's like breaking in a new pair of shoes, at first it's uncomfortable but after a little time, you don't even notice they're there. So there you go, I've given you all my good advice.
Sincerely,
Kori
To clarify:
Mom...
don't worry about me. I'm ok. OK?
