Man, I just had a realization......Im antisocial, and I have no friends...In fact I have more friends online then I do in real life! I am 21, but meeting people at a bar seems kinda dumb. What are some other suggestions? How do I become more social? Should I try to become more social? I have maybe 2 friends and thats all.......

I know exactly what you mean. I'm the same way. The best thing I can tell you is that you can make more friends in an hour by showing an interest in what they do than you can in a year by trying to get them interested in what you do. I have tried this and it does help a lot. Just try going to some social events in your area. I should do this too. I find it easier to make friends online only because I can sit right here and type back and forth to them. .

Social skills is a two-way thing, remember. Don't only talk about yourself but take the time to ask about the other person as well. Oh, and remember the rules of proper etiquette. That seems to turn people off.

if you're somewhere near California's border
I can be a real life friend

you can try to be spontaneus when in public
or hear your music loud

same here, i am a little bit snob, i only have few friends, but that fine with me... i can suggest you even though im not doing it or i will not do it...
you can look 1 or 2 friends that can interact with others easily... be close to each other so you will be a good friends.. then when their going to meet their other friends, those two will not leave you behind, they will introduce you to others, until you will get to know numbers of people... to be friends... until you'll find out that your already getting into that social life... you will learn alot from different people... but still be carefull since your dealing with different people, they have different perspective or even character...

You are who you are. If you really want to make new friends, get involved in clubs, or just try being more talkative with people. Personally, I'd rather have 2-3 great friends than 50 acquaintances.

My wife became the same way when she had our son. She ended up starting a yahoo group for local stay at home mom's in the area that want to get out of the house. You don't have to start your own group necessarily, but look under groups on yahoo and just search for your interests. There may be one locally that you can fit in with.

I'm somewhat like you too, just few friends.
But I've always believe in quality rather than quantity.
I'm not good at socializing, but these few friends that I have, they are able to accept me for who I am. So instead of spending time trying to be someone I'm not (good at socializing) just to get others to accept me, I'd rather focus more on my friendship with these few people whom have already accepted me the way I am.
