In PG, I met 5 other girls from my classroom, and from the start, I kept my expectations low and was sure that I did not fit in with them, so I kept my distance, and my only connection in college was my roommate at that time.She advised me multiple times to hang out with that group. I made it clear to her that it was not right for my well-being to spend time with people with whom I feel uncomfortable.

Many people used to believe that I would not be able to do so, but I did.

I still have doubts about myself, have a lot to work on my personality and need to work hard. I will keep trying to see positivity around me and I wish you would do the same.
