Hi,
So its not that I'm shy, its just that I'm friendly with everyone, but as a result don't have many close friends at the moment.
So I'll be going to Uni this year, and I'm worried about not making friends.
Its annoying, because although I consider myself nice to a lot of people-I think I come across as a pushover or whatever. People don't really bother with me outside class atm.
Also, I feel like I do a lot of the work for people. So if you were about to advise 'just say hi to people', I do this already. Honestly, like I do try with people in class, but they are a bit stand off ish with me-and all I was doing was being friendly!
So how can I make good friends in my first year at uni?

Then stop worrying so much, you can't force these things. You can just be yourself and not overly friendly. Invite people to do things, say yes when you are invited out. Eventually there will be a close group of people you can relate to. Also the great things about Uni? You meet people with similar interests to you, as in the people who have chosen the same subjects. This will help more than you.

UNTILL i started inviting people to do things with me, even if its a sports game or lunch or a meal or the mall... that's when i started making friends all across the board.... maybe this will help, if not then just try new "moves"
