I am 19 yr old female and find it pretty hard to get out there and meet new people with simalar interests. I don't really have the time through the week to go to anything social, but that leaves me with nothing to do on the weekends. I also lack confidence and self esteem of approaching those I dont know and making conversation and becoming friends.

Well, first off I doubt you'd want any advice from a 15yr old like me but I do have something. I'm just like you, sort of. I totally lack confidence when it comes to making new friends or talking with a guys I like. x.x totally hard. Just think in your head: "Life's short and I should make the most of it." Thats what I do. I think that then say " What the heck." and I sorta push through the confidence barrier I've made and go for it. Meeting people? I'd say on the weekends go to the mall or the park or something. Somewhere, where there are others your age and a place that interests you. You're bound to meet someone. Or you could try the dating sites. Sometimes, you just need a guy friend. I'm really sorry if I'm no help. I just thought I'd try. Good luck! ^^

You admit to lacking confidence and self esteem so who would want to hang out with YOU? What makes YOU so different? What would make ME want to be your friend? What would you have to offer? My point in saying this is that you are self-proclaiming as a person that lacks social skills. You should take an ettiquette class on social skills, proper eye contact, etc. Try being a waitress. You are then forced to interact by speaking to people. Do that on the weekends and it will be amazing.

Ignor that first guy he sounds like a jerk and he's like 12.
Maybe join some sort of social group if your interested in dancing or chess or books or somethin like that. U need to have an interest in what you join so you can speak up.
Or join a chat room for non face contact but company.
Sometimes if you live a block of flats have a small get together and introduce your self to the people around you.
I hope some of these ideas help you, good luck.

all you basically have to do is on the weekends, go with you and one or more of yours friends to a local mall, ice rink, or sporting event. Usually if you are waiting in line for anythings, people will say hi or something to be respectful. If they do, have you and your friend start a conversation with the person. If you both feel comfortable talking, you can exchange telephone numbers or email adresses. I would prefer email adresses. Then from there, you can start talking more to your friend and hopefully, (if you no this person well enough) you guys can hang out sometime.

It is hard to meet people when you have work or busy doing school work. I suggest you go make a myspace account and people will join and you can email and maybe meet someone. You should try to build yourself confidence by buying clothes that make you feel good about yourself. If you are warm and feel good about yourself even if people don't share the same interests with you, they still will want to spend time with you.

I am feeling the same and i am not a looser.I am just tired of kissing my friends butt so they are not my friends any more and I don't need friends that you always have to give them service and when you need them they are not there for you,so now I am my own friend and I just enjoy my self.I don't believe in friends.If you wanna hang out with someone that's a different story,just spend money for them buy gifts and kiss their ....and just be there every time they need you and don't expect any thing in return.

Do things you like doing, and through the course of doing that you will meet someone doing the same thing as you are. Then, you will meet people who share the same interests.

I don't know what you do withy our time but if it's school, try to interact with other students, if it's work, try going out with them once in a while...Other than that, try going to new places of find new hobbies where you can meet people...volunteering helps.
