how can i make new friends?

Question

Okay, basically I sit at home ALL DAY. I'm kind of depressed. I left my high school because there were so many dumb rumours about me, I lost all my old friends pretty much, and I cant make any new friends at the school because of my dumb reputation of being some kind of boyfriend stealing 'slut' which is so very much not true. So right now I never leave the house basically. Next year I'm gonna be going to a new school, but I am so sick of sitting at home doing nothing and I"m afraid that this summer is going to be boring as ****. I also have trouble meeting ppl off of the internet, I can never meet them in person just cuz I get so nervous, I always cancel just cuz I don't really know how they act in real life or if they really are who they come off to be, ya mean? I also find clubs dorky, like those aren't my kind of people.The only people who want to hang out with me right now are people who I just don't like and don't click with, is there any way for me to make friends this summer..?

PS - I would really like to get some of my old friends back, but they just despise me. I miss them but theres like no way, they hate me and they don't need me cuz they have enough friends of their own, you know what i mean. Its poop. I am in dance class but the girls in my class are just... annoying. Like I want to go to shows and concerts and parties and those kinds of things but I just have nobobody to go with and nobody to let me know when these things are and crap, I'M SO BORED OUT OF MY MIND WITH LIFE.

Horse riding and kite flying is not my scene, BAHAHA. And I mean they aren't my type of people as in either - horny guys who only want to get in my pants, and one psycho gothic guy who tried to kill his sister. And two fat girls who think they are the hottest thing since sliced bread. Thats pretty much my social group. yo, forget about this question lol, i don't think there's anything i can do.

Answer 1

(1) Find New Friends

Get yourself some email penpals

Go to something outside your house - some sort of sport or club or activity.

Take a walk around your neighbourhood.

(2) Discover stuff about your current group

You say you don't like them, they aren't your kind of people and you don't click with them. Nevertheless, they are the people around you now and you don't seem to get so nervous about them so spend some time. Find out what they like to read. What movies they like. What stuff do they like to do. See if they will do cool stuff with you like archery, horse riding, fly a kite on the beach ... whatever.

(3) Maintain contact with old friends.

Perhaps some of them don't despise you as much as you think. I'm sure there will be some who think you are alright but may be being influenced by the mob mentality you see so often at school. Perhaps if you see them outside of the school setting (cos you're not at that school any more) it might be better.

At very least you can ask them why they believe the lies and rumours about you? Maybe you can explain your point of view.

It can be very frustrating sitting at home and doing nothing. Get out and do something. Anything!

If you can't think of anything to do - see if you can do some community work - volunteer something. See if you can help out in the local childcare center. See if you can help out in the local nursing home. Animal shelter. Vet's. Approach them with a "work experience" thing - ring them up and see and maybe you might have to write them a letter to formally ask them and all that but you can get your parents to help with that sort of thing.

Answer 2

Umm my superb acquaintances definite, yet even even with the truth that i recognize the girls I cling out with, I wouldn't completely believe them. It sounds terrible yet i understand for a shown truth that they each and every each and every now and then gossip about one yet another. both way is say I have some acquaintances who're both honest climate acquaintances and some who're like sisters to me.
