I make an effort to be friendly and meet people, but it never seems like anyone wants to be my friend.
Everything is OK when I interact with people in a group. Things go along well.
But when it comes to one-on-one interaction, no one really wants to do it. I am so tired of this.
I don't act needy or even call a lot. I barely do. I think I'm friendly and listen, and never rude or mean.
EVERY ONE is like this. Why is it always so awkward?

Mind you, I'm much shorter and younger looking than my friends my age. I'm 24.
So this is one reason I think they don't want to hang out with me.

i can relate to you. i am very shy and backwards. i try to be friendly to everybody, but i don't connect with a lot of people. i have a few really close friends, but that's about it. i get along really well with the people who i work with, but i guess i'm just not into doing the same things as them and my spare time is pretty much sucked up by my kids. i guess if i would accept more invitations to parties and things it might be different. i just don't have the time. you sound young and outgoing. if i were you, i would just accept all the invitations you can. go to the pampered chef and mary kay parties and jump into conversations whenever you can. always make time for your friends. ask them to go shopping or to a movie. most of all, be confident. you are just as good as anyone else.

Hey just be yourself!! Look I am not the cutest person but I have lots of friends. I am friendly outgoing and I smile a lot! IF those people can't see what a good person you are then you don't need them. You will find the right friends and what will be real one also. You are at a stage of growing up and some people have a hard time doing that!! You may or may not be more mature than the others!! Do get discouraged, hang in there!!

The reason for this is you and I both are different from those around us. Think hard about the time before you came to this planet when we were all together in glory. You are somewhat like a mediator on yahoo, except you came from the lord and they worship our outcast brother Lucifer. We can't make friends, because they don't know what a friend is. Love is what we are made of my brother. We walk a lonely road, but I will see you at the end. I love you. Your brother Thomas. Email me. I am aways there for you bro or sis.

I have no friend either bud, I'm much shorter and younger looking then everyone in my age group too but all i can say is that's not the reason for them not talking to you. Looking young will pay back in the end.

persons are human, and relationships with them selection in degree from well mannered acquaintance to stable buddy. i don't think of the question is how does one conquer the frailties of others, yet how stable of a chum are you? are you able to forget the buddy who's consistently out for himself? are you able to cherish the buddy who purely calls while they pick to borrow something? what's your definition of friendship? in case you pick somebody this is precisely such as you, or has a similar opinion with each thing you assert, then seem no extra than the replicate. In John 15: 13-17 Jesus explains what a 'real buddy' could do. He does not ask us to 'emulate' Him, yet to stick to His lead. in case you're actually not looking the convenience you seek for interior the buddies which you have, then by utilizing all potential, save searching for the friendship you pick. additionally settle for the 'friendship' of the only that died for you, and you will not experience which you're so on my own. God Bless you. might you discover what you're finding for. :)

hmm..im sorry. it sounds like youre a really nice person. my husband is 23 and he is like 5"3 or 5"4. he's always been picked on by co workers who say he looks like a 13 yr old kid! I just tell him to not worry about it, b/c when he's older it'll be a compliment to him! ...who are you trying to be friends with? do they share same interests, aspirations, goals,etc? think about that...and maybe youre shy. i am, and it seems like in a group of ppl, im always the quiet oddball, but im a nice Christian girl, and i think just for that alone, it makes me stand out awkwardly, you know? all i can say is just keep being yourself, and look for people who are like you. My best friend compliments me,...she does all the talking..hehe. good luck, and i know you'll find a good friend, so long as you keep on being one!

Being popular has nothing to do with age and height. It has something to do with personality,charisma,sincerity,and sense of humor. If you are a good conversationalist people would like to talk to you one on one.

what i think is going on is that your hanging around th wrong people
you need to find real friends that will accept you for who you are
you dont need to try you hardest to make friends
just be yourself around some new people
and your bound to be friends
