How Can I Make Friends?

Question

I Have No Friends I Am In Desperate need for some friends. Please Help.

Answer 1

I have the same problem sometimes. How old are you? look for people your age who enjoy the same things as you. Make a yahoo 360 page so people can get to know you.

Answer 2

well the most important factors in making friends are to be yourself (ask cliche as that may sound), and be friendly (as in smile, be genuine, say hi to people), along with talking to other people and really listening and being interested in what they have to say. it takes a while to get out of your comfort zone, but if u do that and start talking more to other people and all that it's really helpful and also builds ur confidence. u can also join different organizations or clubs at school to find other people with the same interests as u. its important to find common ground to make friends. trust is also a key factor. u need to be trusting (but not too trusting) and trustworthy. a friendship without trust is jsut like a treaty between countries where u never know when u may be attacked. ( dumb analogy i know....but yeah lol) i hope i've maybe t least helped a little and i really hope u can make some friends. =)

Everybody needs friends. Look around you, there are o many people on this planet that want friends. Funny thing is there are some that don't want tobe friends or don't know how. You have to stick your hand out everywhere you go. Just say "Hi my name is...." If you are open, and honest about who you are and be the one to initiate conversations you will eventually find plenty of friends. Nobody can be your friend unless they can get to know you. They can't get to know you if you don't open your mouth and let them know who you are. You can do it. Life is too short. Don't waste time leaving your destiny up to chance. Take charge. Don't be afraid. Some will turn away but if you don't give up, eventually you will have the friendship you desire. Remember that everything is gonna be alright.

Answer 4

1) take an interest in other people and listen
2) like yourself - if you don't like you, then how do you expect them to like you.
3) don't be so desparate and try to be content as things are - being desparate scares people away
4) be a friend, if other people are having trouble, just be there.
5) join more social circles, more clubs, more things to do - you can only expect to get to know only so many people in each social circle you are with, so if you are more involved you will end up making more friends.
6) pick the acquaintences you have the highest chance of a friendship with and invest time into those relationships. Don't spend time on people where it isn't working.
7) Do you know Jesus? He's the best friend you can have. I am alone also - my wife died, and he's my closest friend, He is my best friend. He can be your friend as well, if you let him.

Answer 5

I know it can be hard making friends, but you need to put yourself out there. Talk to people, start a conversation, give a compliment. Go someplace where people may have a common interest as you, for example: if you like to read, go to a library or book store and strike a conversation with someone about a particular book. Or, if you like sports, go to games and chat with people about the game, etc.

Just make sure you are being open and sending out a positive vibe. Just smiling at someone may make them more open to talking to you.

Goodluck!

Answer 6

Life can be a little harder, nobody to share with or to give to. Someone once said that it's better to give than to receive, it's difficult to do this by yourself. We all need people in our lives even if we are walking a lonely road. My best advice is to practice giving and people will give to you. I'm not talking about money or material, but in conversation, and not flattery. Just be the listener and be understanding, I think that’s a good start. Making friends isn’t about being a smooth talker by any means. Naturally people are drawn to others who are happy and smile.

Answer 7

I am a guy but i know how you feel. I am in the same type of situation except that i have a few friends but they arent in my grade or they dont go to my school. There are some books out now that could help with that.
In general i would just say to make eye contact when you talk to people, make sure your clothes arent too weird, if someone seems uninterested in what you are talking about just stop talking, if you talk to people on IM and they dont answer the stop sending them messages.

*******BEST OPTION********
Pay attention to who talks to you. Also sit by yourself at lunch and see who else sits with you.

Answer 8

The most important things to keep up are;

Firstly Hygene, take showers daily, brush teeth, comb hair, dont stink, try not to have stains or wrinkles on your clothes.

Secondly smile, all the time when youre talking to people.

Most important is confidence, keep eye contact, smile be happy laugh love.

You dont need to be suave, funny, smart to have friends, all of these help and you can work on those later but fundementally you just have to be able to talk to people confidently and be nice.

Answer 9

Be able to walk up to people and introduce yourself without being afraid. Keep your confidence and try to be very friendly. If you have a person that you might want to be friends with, try to make casual conversation and hang out with them at lunch or something like that. Make yourself a person that people will like, but not to the point where you become fake.

Answer 10

Get off the computer! :P Go out into the world and be social...be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone your not to make friends. You want your friends to like you for who you are and not who you are pretending to be. Make people laugh...that usually works.
