One you build a small social circle, you can use it to web your way to meeting other people. I find it amusing that your interactions with people in class distract you from your schoolwork. It tells me you may want to learn to set boundaries more clearly. Or maybe I didn't get this point correctly. Maybe you could give us some details on how this happens exactly.
Wise advice. And it's true. Just join some group or activity which interests you.. You'll meet really worthy people in there. It's the best deal! And never give up, don't look desperate.. Be friendly by nature and you'll attract people =)
