Answer 1

You got to belive in yourself .. you might not think that people care for what you have to say but people do.. talk to people ... join a sport .. or a school club to meet new people .... be open to your self.. I use to be just like you but i know if i can do it you can do it .. new school are hard to go and make new friend you have know idea who anyone is ... and everyone has there on little group.. but that is .. you you can make a friend just bye say hi to some one ...

I used to have this problem too when I started going to a new school a couple of years ago. I guess you just have to make yourself speak up, try talking to people who seem nice/ more friendly, make some small talk (ex. ask about homework, classes, school events etc). you have to open up - it's like a cycle: the less you socialize, the more shy and clammed-up you'll get, so the first few words might be hard but you've got to start somewhere. gd luck. :)

Just be who you are and everything will fall into place. Who knows you might get a lot more friends if you open up to them. Trust me I've been to so many schools in the past try 3 schools in one year. Just open up but keep your heart guarded in any new school until you figure out who your real friends are.
