I come from a small town middle class family , yet Im studying medicine in one of the universities in Russia (with the help of education loan ofcourse) , when I got into this uni I was scared to talk to people especially who are good looking and have expensive clothes on them , “the cooler group of students” in clg is what I’m saying , I always sense this barrier between them and me , like I always try to impress them , trying to get there attention/validation , and I know shouldnt but I don’t know how to stop that , I get the point of ‘why letting people like you when you can love yourself first’ , but I want people , I want friends , I’ve had amazing friends till college , but after passing 3 semesters I don’t think I have a single friend in the University yet …

Hey ! I can totally understand what you are going through . I have been through similar situation . I graduated this year and still kinda struggling to get through the trauma i have been through for not being “cool” . It might not be the same for everyone but I tend to give importance to people that doesn’t value us much . It is okay . Since you have got a lot of time dont try to limit yourself. Dont take Medicine for granted and on the other hand dont ruin your peace of mind . There is no need to rush and when it comes to making friends with different language , dont limit yourself by only talking to few people instead try just starting small conversations with others as well … Be proud of who you are and accept the changes your life offers . Hope this helps you out … All the best 🙂
