Best friends?

Question

ok well im in 9th grade and I just moved maybe a year ago. I don't have a "best friend" but i guess i kinda want a best friend. I understand you can't just go out and pick random people to be best friends with and i know it takes time but the thing is i have trouble makin and keepin friends cause im so shy and quiet.

any tips? on gettin friends and keepin best friends?

Answer 1

The key to having a best friend is trust. Let her or him know that you trust her/him. Hang out with the person one on one before that way she or he knows how you are. A best friend will know everything about you and still accept you. What you need to do is be willing to take a risk on the person with yourself. I am shy an quiet with people I just meet so I understand where you're coming from. What I do is give the people I just met a small dose of my personality, if they are scared by it then I know who THEY are, I will NEVER change myself to be accepted and neither should you. You need to branch out and try if it doesn't work out then don't worry, you don't NEED a best friend and anyway you're still young, most people find their true best friend in college, believe it or not. Your best friend may come when you're not even looking so good luck I'm sure you'll find him or her.

Hey I just did the same thing! and I know how you feel, you feel kinda alone, and yeah, I don't have any best friends yet at my new school, but I have friends that I talk to, and hopefully that will develop into a better relationship....but my best advice is just be yourself, if you're shy and quiet don't be loud to get attention in hopes of getting a friend, it took me about two months to develop the friends I have now.... eventually we just made small talk because we shared some classes, and eventually things work themselves out....as far as keeping friends, always let them know what's going on, and always be interested in what's going on back home....it takes work, I know, but things have a tendency of working out....you'll be fine....good luck!

i know how u feel, so this is what you do:
just socialize, connect to people (depends on how they treat u) , then even thought it may take a little while, eventually you will find yourself a new best friend,
and by the way, i think it's wayyy better to have a variety of friends, and not just 1

Answer 4

i have always been really shy
but i found people i had things in common with.
for example all of my friends are involved in theater

do something you love and maybe you will find someone who loves it too.
and if you can't do that then have one of your less close friends over and maybe that will develop into best friends
you never know if someone could be your best friend until you try. try and step out of you comfort zone i know it is hard, believe me. but it's worth it

Answer 5

Best friends take time to get. Just relax and be yourself, you will make plenty of friends in time. Find someone in your class that has similar interests and ask them if they want to hang out with you sometime.
I have had my best friends for nearly forever... one for seven years, and one for fifteen. Be yourself and don't worry if you don't get along with everyone.
