I'm in university right now and I'm finding it difficult to develop and build relationships with my fellow peers. It's difficult to mesh with those who think traditionally and inside the box. I don't blame them for that- they've been indoctrinated to the Slowlane mentality since childhood. At times, I feel lonely. Nobody around me is doing what I'm doing and I find it difficult to connect with others. I mean- it's rare finding another student who reads books, does personal education & development, and is into startups and building businesses. My current social circle consists of nobody who's into what I'm into. The typical person in my social circle spends his/her time watching TV shows like Suits, following sports like hockey/basketball, or discussing video games like League of Legends. These are things I'm not into and I find a waste of time- but are great for making conversations with your average joe.
