i agree with what some of these people said. people should earn your trust, its not a gift. dont open up too soon to someone. you can meet people by joining clubs or teams. you might be nearvous at first but, trust me, you will meet someone there.

You have to look within yourself as to why you pick the wrong people. We pick our friends. They don't pick us. If we pick the wrong people you must be filling a need you don't recognize that is not in line with your values. You might be letting your standards down when you pick the friends you pick so that you feel popular. Then when they become friends for a period of time, you find that they are not the type of people that you trust or value.
Pick friends carefully. They will impact on your life and the other friends that you might want to have.
If they do inappropriate things and are not of good character you must keep away from them.
One good way is to have your already trusted friends give you some input as to the kind of people you are choosing. Let your parents meet your new friends. They can be invaluable.
Picking friends is vital. You would not want to pick poison apples off the tree. Why would you pick poison friends?

You may be TOO trusting at the outset...you have to make people EARN your trust.
God only knows how many times I leant money to people I thought I could trust, only to find out that when you give most people an inch, they'll take a mile.
Most people, if given the opportunity, SUCK!...sadly.

dont judge people by looks, so dont just be friend with really pretty people. avoid people who look like they are on drugs or skater or emo(i have good friends who are all thoses types of people, but some of cand make for bad frist friends unless you are very good a judging if they will get you in bad sistuations or not) try to avoid people with emotional swings at frist they could be mental imbalanced and dangerous to be aroud, look for people who are mellow and funny, not people who are extream and dangours. some perople like that are the nicest people, but some arnt so you should try to stay on the safe side at frist!!! look for people who seem nice or even some people who seem stuck up(they might be nice and just need a friend too)!

Before you can learn how to make friends, you have to know how to be a friend. You have to exhibit the same character traits that you would like to find in a friend. You also have to be willing to open yourself up and trust people. Don't allow yourself to be taken advantage of, but you have to allow yourself to trust.

Pray, and don't say too much too soon, as in telling about your life and the goings on in your life.

Find groups or organizations that have those kinds of people.
