it's never too late to make friends.......sounds like your dr. needs positive thinking classes........what are you angry about??? maybe writing your thoughts every day will help how you feel......you're not pathetic...just a little shy.........practice talking to people you don't know..even if it's for a few seconds......it might give you confidence IN yourself.........i hope you make lots and lots of friends...............

I always heard that the best way to make friends is to be a friend . Start off with a regularly scheduled daily or weekly event that you do. The gym is a great place because you will find people with similar goals. There are many things besides this, it is just a suggestion. Bowling leagues, dancing clubs, etc. Then smile.. Don't expect a lot from people. Just accept them as they are. Drop the intensity as it can be uncomfortable. Talk about issues that don't get you aggressive. You can meet people anywhere! Ask people about their likes and dislikes. Everyone loves to share their ideas and opinions. After you get to know them use their names when you talk with them. Realize that you are showing a caring emotion by simply asking these questions. it seems you are just lacking trust towards others. You may be afraid to be vulnerable or rejected. Well that can happen to anyone and it does. Take a plunge, you have nothing to lose and a lot more to gain. If anything does not work out, chalk it up to experience as you will grow only from that. By the way, all of us are pathetic at times. Don't condemn your efforts..OK? Good Luck!

It is never too late to make friends! I am 39 and still make friends wherever I work. It is true, just be yourself, even if it is being emotionless--there are people for everyone. You do have to make yourself available though. If someone asks you to lunch, go with them or they ask you to a party on the week-end--do it! Getting out is the only way you will meet people.

Don't worry. It's never too late to make friends. I had no friends when I left high school three years ago but now I have a lot. You just have to be yourself no matter how different you are from everybody else. In university, u'll find at least some friends who'll have same interests as you.
Wish you best luck.

what does he mean your "emotionless"??? don't you tell your friends that you miss than, or that your glad to speak to them. If so, then it has nothing to do with being emotionless. maybe your friends are caught up in their lives and have forgotten about you. Or maybe your pessimistic, not fun to talk to, have an attitude (etc) and they don't want to be around you. Or maybe they've changed. But its never too late to make friends cause there are always new people around...whether its to the neighborhood, at your job, or at church and these people are looking to make friends.

No, its never to late to make friends. You should meet new people and talk with them. Just be nice, friendly, and open and you will be sure to make friends. Also, patience helps. And keep in mind there are all different types of people out there.

Well, bud, u sound pretty pathetic. However, just listen to the little voice in ur head (no, i dont think ur crazy! i mean ur cricket... ur conscience!) and do what it tells u, as long as its not to kill someone or something. just say when you're happy or sad, smile, laugh, cry. just be urself ok?
