I have always had trouble talking to people. When I enter a group discussion with somebody outside of class, I feel really awkward. I often run out of things to say to people and I assume that they see me as a snob or wierd. I try to set things up with other people but they don't seem to want to do things with me. Comming up with some excuse or something which makes me think that they don't like me. People that I talk to will ask others if they want to do something and go out with them however, they never ask me. When people do that I think that they are not interested. I NEED HELP!

You don't need help, you need a dog. A Pink Floyd CD and a bowl of blond Lebanese!

It;s hard to make friends sometimes. Just relax around people. Try to do interesting things by yourself. People who want to be your friend will notice and probably try to get acquainted with you. I think maybe you are trying too hard. I had several friends while I was in school but I had more when I went to the Girls and Boys Club and participated in sports, etc. Try different places where you can meet people. Remember though that throughout life you probably will only have a couple of really close friends the rest will be just acquaintances or people you know and see occasionally.

People are sensing your discomfort. You need to find a way to relax in social situations, try yoga or visualization to help yourself calm down. Try talking to a smaller group or even just another person if large groups are too much. If you want to make a friend, be a friend. Don't gossip or cut down others. Be friendly and open. Ask about their opinions, and be genuinely interested. Relax and stop feeling so urgent that they like you. Go with the flow, and friends will follow.

I agree with Joyful, but another helpful tip is to never, ever try to conform to people so they will "like you." I have tried doing this in the past and it never works, trust me. People like you for being genuinely you, and not someone fake.
To get more comfortable with people, joining a club or getting involved in a sport/activity is a great way to make new friends. Get involved in something you love to do; if you have passion for it people will be drawn to that.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a undeniable ought to in this field. It's style of a humorous tale may well be relatively properly, although has a comedic ingredient to it. A extra excessive one i might advise that's alongside the comparable premise is Manic. It's slightly older, although the story is effective.
