Right now I'm in college but I'm pretty lame in terms of social wise. How can I change that?

Look in the mirror and say "I am not lame!"
Then keep repeating this and keep getting louder and louder.
Eventually you should not feel as lame and people around you will say "Wow, he really isn't that lame after all!"
If for some strange reason that doesn't work,
Study what other non-lame people do and then do what they do. But don't stalk them because that would be lame.
Hope this helps! Good luck! You can beat this thing man.

What is "lame'?...Lame is when you fit in with all the right people, go to all the parties, sporting events, homecoming activities & don't carry books because they "cramp your style". Oh yes, then you flunk out & say, "Well, it wasn't for me.". When I was in college, I didn't go to a single campus function or athletic event. I was lame, only then it was "geek" or "nerd". I stayed lame until I finished medical school. Please stay lame & apply yourself to the books. Then, when the party animals come to you & ask for time off so they can get their freak on - Please tell them "No". I am now retired on a comfortable income.

Talk to people. What I do is I act like I'm talking to myself every once in a while, like if a professor says something dumb, I mumble something. Depending on the person you're sitting next to, they may say, "What?"
Viola! You have relations! You know this person is curious. What you say after that is, "Oh, nothing."
See? You have a new face that you'll recognize later. Keep doing this, they'll eventually start hanging around you, and there you go. THats all I've got to say about your question...I really hope you didn't mean something else...you weren't very specific...

Go out with your friends more often (Clubs, parties, coffee shops, movies). Stay up with current events. Try to keep yourself in a good enviroment. Stay away from negative people. Be helpful to others. If your positive...You will never be lame.

get into a social group.... perhaps a literary circle or something related to your major. Find a person of the opposite sex that is willing to mentor you. Stranger things have happened.
Read a few books such as Dale Carnagie classic, "how to win friends and influence people". Learn the art of conversation and start them with no alterier motives. Remember that people enjoy talking about themselves, and we all have two ears and one mouth. That should tell you something right there. Talking with people doesn't mean you have to agree with everything they say, so learn how to disagree with tact. There is arguement, there is debate, and there is discussion. Know the differences between them so you can control the situation by seeing the direction it is beginning to take. Learn to ask questions that are open ended, i.e. not yes or no answers required... but gives room to expand their answers.

well....1st off thinking that your lame tells me that your self esteem isnt very well. however i dont know you, i cant assume, but if thats that case. there nothing wrong with that. ive delt with alot of those sortas of issues. your best bet would probably be to just honeslt bee yourself. Dont try to change how you are so people like you. Be straight up, never lie. people will be attracted to your honesty. Also be kind to everyone, soon people will see how your loving personality, and sense of honesty is great. it will come. Be unique, be your self! <3

Smile as the song goes: "Smile, even though you're crying, smile even though you're lying. You'll find that life is worth while if you just smile."
Smiling will bring you friends. Give eye contact and say hello often as people pass you by. Don't worry if nothing happens at first........it will eventually. If you are nice. Talk nice. Use good grammar and speech and SMILE. Make sure you have good breath, too.okay. Good luck!

Think about being lame. Now let all of those things go... Think about being the person that you want to be. Realize what you think like when you are the person that you want to be... think about how you feel as you are the person that you want to be... now go be the person that you want to be...
