Your problem is not really about whether you feel like mixing
with your new classmates or not. In my opinion, there is really no
big deal that you retain as long as you know what you are doing.
When it comes to pride, ultimately, you will realize that your
opinion of yourself is what matters the most and the opinions of
others is insignificant since they will all forget about you
anyway.
I guess, maybe, your problem is that you still do not know what you
want to achieve in school.
Everyday when I go to my campus for lessons, I will always come
across this quote which I remember quite well.
"Everything's in the mind. That's where it all starts. Knowing
what you want is the first step towards getting it. (MacWest)
So what I suggest is that everyday, when you are at school, ask
yourself few questions.
1. Why am I here?
2. What do I want to achieve here?
3. If I cannot get what I want here, where should I be?
Hope you can learn something here.
