Its not a problem of talking to people. Its whether its worth your TIME to talk to people at college.
I'm not saying be an elitist but then I believe that its just an utter waste of time to be socializing just for the sake of looking good in the social circles. You should socialize with ppl who you feel you are able to connect to.
Each time i move to a new area (high school, college etc), I usually take like a term or two before I find that close group of friends that I belong to. I might not be Mr. Popular but at least I know these friends are genuine.
And trust me I did try to throw myself in socializing one day one and it turned out ugly. A term or two late, the people who I got close with turned out to be total fakers and were just being nice just for the sake of being nice.
Bottom line is people have their own set of times on which they are comfortable with. Not everyone can start making real friends on day one.
