Find activities that put you in a position to interact with other people, such as volunteering. Or get involved in an activity that requires you to be involved with others. If you are doing this activity together, it is easier to talk about it. Then as you spend more time with the person, your subject matter would broaden out a bit.

I used to feel the same way, I mean.. when I was little.. I was wild and outspoken... but once my mom got sick and was sent away... I withdrew from everyone and everything...I'm gradually getting to my old self again...
usually it's only temporary..so don't worry about it too much..
if it's truly THAT serious.. talk to a family member or therapist..anyone you trust.
It all starts with finding out how or what caused you to be this way..
if you ever feel like talking.. I'll help with whatever I can.
A good way to start is by going to a calm public place.. diner,library coffee shop, (any place that interests you with a small group of friendly looking people.. make small talk)..
yes, I know it's tough.. usually whenever someone came up to me and made small talk, I'd run away first chance I got ..lol)
Be brave, Be strong.. and try to say something back..
I know it takes a while to adjust.. but you cant expect to have friends if you dont do your part...
You have to overcome it.
I could go on and on about this... but trust me.. it's not impossible.

Taking part in YA is a start. Join a club for anything you enjoy doing sports. Do some voluntary work that will help you to open up. Anyway ive made you my friend.

lisa, I am not in the least lonely. I had the phone to my ear, and my husband bringing me a cuppa, while I was on here. Maybe you are lonely.
Sorry, you have made the first step by coming on here. join some group or other. Email people on here. There plenty open. XX.

Can you ask one of your freinds to gather a group of mates to the cinema or something and you can go too and get to know some new people?
