How was your previous school experience? How long have you been in college?
Your statement “haven’t gotten beyond acquaintance” kind of implies some general social awkwardness/anxiety. You seem to be branding yourself as an outsider looking in. I think that’s relatively common and I’ve been there, it’s just an observation.
You don’t have to have a lot of interests in common with people to enjoy their company. But if you are routinely looking for reasons that you don’t belong in a group, you’ll keep finding them.
Stay authentic to yourself. Seek out people that make you happy. You do not have to be best friends with someone to enjoy their company.
