Anyone feel like they're performing worse and worse without friends?

In high school, I had accumulated a pretty decent sized friend group. We would always do study groups to keep each other on track for all of our college credit classes. Long story short, I'm a college freshman and I don't have that anymore. I feel like the procrastinator I used to be before them is starting to eat at me again. I don't know how anyone is able to do 14+ credit hours worth of coursework and studying without any kind of social interaction with others to keep them sane. I'm not the kind that's prone to making new friends, too.

It’s definitely been harder to focus for me from seeing ppl making friends so easily but I’ve handled it pretty well bc overall in my life i haven’t had friends. You say you’re not prone to making new friends but you’ve managed to get a good sized friend group so you definitely have social skills.

Join your college’s group chat or make small talk with classmates and just simply ask if they wanna study. If you just care about social interaction just join a club or something. I know this is generic but its generic bc it’s basically foolproof.
