Answer 2

Normally, you start hanging out with people you have some forced association with, such as in school, church, swimming class, etc. and find common interests which you both enjoy. Since you claim to be 27 and shy, I would say join a volunteer organization, a church, a club, etc and do things you enjoy for other people. Some folks will admire your skill, some will want you to do more, some will appreciate your help, and all of them are potential friends.

Answer 3

You're being unfair to yourself. It is virtually impossible (in this age, still) to not be surrounded by people (at work, school, street). It maybe true that the immediate relationships you have with people around you do not lead you to intimacy, or instant gratification. You should start by accepting these people first regardless of sex, age, or relationship status. Believe me, there isn't a princess waiting to be uncovered. The only way to get there is through networking, so start networking through people closest to you. Too many people wait for something to happen... Empower yourself with the ability to make things happen. Organize a social event, go to a seminar, volunteer. Make it a point to do this and stick with it. You do this enough times and you'll see that you will get better at it and with time you will only kid yourself about the fact that you didn't do it sooner.

Go out. Go out to things where you'll be around other people. Do you have a political party? Volunteer to help stuff envelopes or put up yard signs. Volunteer for things that you consider a good cause. In my area, they have yearly cleanups along the river. It's a good cause and you meet nice people. Go to anything where you have a genuine interest . Love dogs? Volunteer at the Humane Society. You'll meet people who have at least one thing in common with you. You can always start a light conversation about what you're both doing. It's a low risk way to get to meet people. If you meet someone you like, ask them to go have coffee after you're done with the volunteer work. If you don't meet anyone you'd like to be friends with, hey, you did a good deed and got out for a while!

Answer 5

Get out and stop being in isolation. Go places and eventually you will meet people. Don't stay home feeling sorry about yourself. Start this weekend, by going out even if its going to a coffee shop with internet access. get used to being around people and be afraid to smile or say hi to some one. If you keep your head and have a frown, people will not think you are sociable. Be aware of your body language and facial expressions, they say alot on whether you are approachable.

Answer 6

Go out alot to gigs in pubs, small places, its easier to get talking to someone if you can get away from the noise at the bar and the atmosphere is light/ mellow. ; )

Answer 7

If you work talk to your colliges(sp). Or go clubbing. But then again im in highschool i cant really help you with adult situations.

Answer 8

ok, well you just can start by asking people the simplest quetions like "hey, how are you" or if you're some where "do you come here often?" just try and start litlle conversations!! :)

Answer 9
