Question

P.S. I'm really tired of hearing " don't change for people who doesn't lke you" and blah blah blah

Answer 1

Join some clubs, extracurricular activities - things you think you'd be good at. Don't try out for cheerleading just because it's cool - if the chess club is more your thing, do that. Go for things you love, and feel confident in.

Once there, talk to people - you already have a shard interest, so that gives you a starting point. Plus, you go to the same school, so you can talk about teachers, the principal, the cafeteria food... Just be yourself, don't try to act "cool" - but give people a chance to really get to know you!

The reason people don't like you is probably that they only know the "shell" - you sound rather shy, so people are probably making shallow judgments based on an incomplete picture. So don't try to change who you are, but do try to change how you act - pretend to be outgoing and self-confident, and pretty soon you will actually BE outgoing and self-confident.

Trust me, it works. :)

Many times people get sick of what they look like and want to reinvent themselves. You might look at the different fashions that people are wearing and see which one you like and what you think would look the best on you. A different hair style sometimes makes all the difference in the world. Think about what will make you feel better about yourself and try no to do anything that would give you a lower self-esteem. Many people think that when you change that you are changing for other people but that is not necessarily true sometimes it is a person trying to make them feel better about themselves. I would say to examine your reasons for wanting to change. Sometimes when your self-confidence is high it shows and people see you as more personable and approachable. It is hard being the new kid in school, I know that I moved a lot as a child.

First you have to like yourself...if you don't like you why would anybody else? Then find people who have the same interests as you and just gradually be where they are and eventually people will talk to you just because you are there. Then they will get to know you and i have no doubt they will like you. Just don't try too hard. Then you come across as desperate and a pain. Do things slowly and with confidence. You have to act confident in yourself, even if you are not, and people will notice you in a good way. I hope this helps even if only a little. Remember the important thing is to like yourself first!!!!

its always difficult to make new friends in this situation, but just try and be as friendly and open as possible, smile and make lots of eye contact, asking questions about where local things are, complimenting people on something are all ways you can try to strike up a conversation. if you have particular interests, music, art, whatever, try finding an out of school activity centre where you can go and meet others with the same interest. good luck

Answer 5

well i would just be friendly with everyone, get involved in activities or sports, and sit by different people at lunch. ive had a lot of expirence in moving. once you start talking to people more and getting involved in things you'll find the right friends that accept you for who you are! good luck!!!

Answer 6

Start dressing better, in HS it's all about external appearance. Also join a sports team like lacrosse or field hockey.

Answer 7

you need to be more confident and be friends with everyone being popular doesn't mean being friends with people your own type and you don't take opinions from other people seriously cause the more you care about how you look the less social you'll be
