Not many friends huh? I can’t say I was the most popular guy in school…but I have a lot of contacts then, in all of the “good” groups, “bad” groups, “geeky” “popular”, etc…I could fit in almost anywhere, if I could say so myself…

From what you’re saying, your main problem is your shyness, correct? Well, I won’t say “suck it in, be brave” cause, if you’re shy, I don’t think you would be able to turn 180 degs right now…

Well, my advice is, when you meet people, just say your name, ask theirs, where they’re from, what faculty are they in, and then just talk about each other’s interest…I’m sure you’re not as boring as me…(I know when I talk to my friends, at some point they will be bored…I am not that much of a talkable person…)

You must have a very interesting part of yourself that other’s like…just be open to others…just not too much at the start, okay?

Hope it helps,

Best of luck,

Just sit back and be cute. They key is to be cute and inviting and not standoffish.

If you smile at people and show them that you have confidence then they will not have a problem breaking the ice.

Get you a little click going with the right crowd (or in crowd) and you will be golden. You probably know who are the Alpha females and since you are not one at the moment you need to find you a strong leader that demands respect. You can learn a lot from the alpha dog…lol

Seriously though, if you want to make friends keep an open mind and do what you can to keep your physical appearance with the image you are trying to portray.

Good luck and let us know if we can elaborate further…..

Oh yeah, common ground is important so make sure you have something to talk about. It’s always good to know a little bit about everything. Hold your head high….

I was very shy too in Middle School, but that all changed as soon I got some tips from a friend that was very popular. You should find something interesting to talk about, never be afraid to speak up. People tend to like confident people, if you have a positive attitude you’ll have no problems, also join a lot of after school clubs, and be involved in sports, that’s almost a guarantee you’ll make lots of friends. And most importantly be yourself.

The first answer that leaps to my mind is to join a club or two. Maybe a sport or a drama production – it’s very easy to get in with drama kids. Otherwise, strike up a conversation about class or the homework you just got. When approaching people, it’s good to have some common ground. Though if you go for the class convo, I’d suggest doing it IN that class – otherwise you might look a little creepy.

Good luck, I’m sure you’ll be fine. I’m a little shy myself, and usually someone sitting near you in class will strike up conversation. Just be natural and yourself (cheesy, but it works).

dude, i had that equal drawback my freshman 12 months (i am a junior now). what you gotta do is attempt to make a few higher-classmen peers, or no less than stroll across the college with three-four of your present peers. you have to be close magnificence rooms or the workplace. and if those men are nonetheless dull ample to take a look at somethin, they’re going to grow to be gettin in problem. going to the workplace or college useful resource officer continues to be your satisfactory guess, reason the whole thing is nameless. simply inform the main or whoever that those youngsters are harrassing you. however dont begin a battle. most effective battle as final motel. and measurement manner little to not anything in a battle. in the event that they dont know the way to battle, someone would take em.

Ask to borrow something from someone sitting next to you (like a pen or piece of paper). It is a convo starter. You can look for another shy person and then you and that person can go as a team to meet new people.

if you wanna be in the crowd, start by lookin like them

get some gear thats in style and, find some ppl to hang out with new ppl especially, so ur more accustomed to introducing urself.

join a community center/ volunteer, get a job, be proactive.

Be really friendly and try to read ppl , stay away from ppl who give a bad vibe, ur better without them,

Go to the gym ODD one but it give you more self confidence in ur self.
