University is filled with the strangest creatures, really.
If you're anything like me, you only have a handful of friends, half of which don't attend your university. Or perhaps, once again like me, you keep changing programs and thus you seen no familiar faces in the classes that you take. But worry not my fellow introverts, for I have developed a strategy that will almost certainly guarantee you to have someone to talk to in class.
Time is important. If you show up too early to class, you'll be sitting alone, I guarantee it. The safe bet is to show up 5-2 minutes before class. When you enter, do a quick scan to see whom looks most appealing to you. I suggest you don't sit next to a group of friends. Despite the possibility of them including you, it is quite low. Don't go for that very attractive girl either (unless of course you're not an introvert in which case why are you reading this anyway?). Pick someone that looks neutral and ask if you can sit next to them. Of course, they won't say no. You don't have to talk. You're an intelligent creature, let them initiate the conversation. Then, once they found out that you're an amazing listener, they will be hooked (everyone wants to have at least one person to talk to in class).
So remember friends, almost all humans want to talk and have friends. If you no longer have your group of friends for whatever reason, you can assemble one from the loners you pick up here and there. You can also try to infiltrate a group of friends but for now, all my attempts on doing so have been unsuccessful.
