how can i make friends? im very shy?

Answer 1

I know how you feel. I'm very shy too plus i moved to US when i was 13 yrs old (the begining of adolescence). So it was/ and still is a big change/ adjustment for me. But from what i learned so far is that you won't find that many people said hi to you first. So, YOU're have to b the one that say hi to people first. So far, it works for me. Usually when i go somewhere, like school cafeteria, i usually look for people that look cool enough to talk to, or people that i know i can talk to/ relate to, or if that doesn't work, go look for people that usually sit alone and not doing anything important (like their homework or something). Then start the conversation by saying hi to them first, then they usually said something back than u guys can start from there. Once you find one person, u can automatically started with the other. Who knows, this one person that u talk to might invite u to go to party or hang out together or something along with his/her friends, then u can develop your circle of friends from here. Good luck. If you need someone to talk to, you can aim me @ jktgurl.

Answer 2

I know how it feels. I am very shy, and making friends can be hard. What everybody says to do is just be yourself. When you are around people, don't act how they act. If you do, you will always have to "act" around them. Just talk to people. Have some conversations. If someone is down, try to cheer them up because friends do that for each other. If you have a project to do in school, try to get someone to work with you. I have made a really close friend because of a project I had to do for spanish. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Sometimes you can approach classmates if you find them friendly and make casual conversation. For example, if you meet them in the cafeteria, try talking about what lunch they brought or where they're going to sit, and ask if you can join them for lunch.

Another way would probably be to take part in group activities and that may be sports in school or perhaps some clubs. You could also go for extra-curricular stuff and you'll definitely make more friends.

Also, do you know your neighbour well yet? Try baking cookies with your mum one day and going with her to your neighbour's house, and try to make friends :)

Answer 4

be friendly and outgoing! that doesnt mean to go up to every person and tell or ask about life stories, but say if youre in school (if you are) and you are paired in groups, dont be quiet. speak up and be friendly, if someone tells a joke, laugh. you want to seem inviting. and also, a little hint, a lot of people dont usually approach others who are shy because they seem reclusive, almost like they dont want to be apart of the group.

Answer 5

Well its really hard.

At the end of the day, by talking to someone nobodys going to hate you for it. Think of the worst thing that could happen just going up to a person in your class to talk to them or something. Believe in yourself, nobodys going to hate you for making friends

Answer 6

Be yourself.....do everything you do in life... and soon people who are interested in what you are will be your friends. I don't have alot of friends, because I have panic disorder, so I don't get to go out much. Feel lucky your not like me, I have very few friends now. Some people don't even have that. Just be yourself!
