Answers:
Go easy on yourself. My son loves his school. He went in open minded- and figured that he was starting with a totally clean slate.
No one knew you before. You get to reinvent yourself. So, you think you were shy. Now's the time to act as if you are not. Go to a counsellor and talk about your feelings. Get them out of your system and find out that the world is not as hurtful as it seems.

You'd be doing yourself a huge favor if you opened up and let yourself be vulnerable to friendships. Join a group. Volunteer on campus. Ask people questions about themselves. Some are just as scared and lonely as you are.

In any event, you can always email or IM your friends back home.
Read- join a book club (or two). Find out what makes you an indivudual and embrace it. The college years can be the best and most fun years of your life. Don't hold yourself back because you are shy.

If being shy has always been a problem for you- a doctor can give
you a prescription that may relax you. It may just change your life. You won't be as anxious and apprehensive when in new situations--- and generally, that's the only change. I highly recommend that you try that route if you can't shake your depression. (Maybe you'll need something for mild depression-
a doctor could just take the edge off those feelings until you can handle them yourself. There is nothing wrong with being depressed. I think most people get depressed- and can use a boost every now and then. This change of being in a new situation with no old friends, family, pets, etc can make someone
depressed. You may just need a little Wellbutrin or something.

Good luck to you- No one is judging yourself. You are just self-conscious and there is help for you. :)

Good luck.

this is going to be an obvious answer and im not trying to be rude at all, but it's becuase your still homesick which is quite normal.. im in the same boat... i was around my family and not that i cant be it kills me its just gonna take your some time to adjust
