Im really bad at making friends in real life. HELP???



So, I just found at that at least 4 of my friends (this is out of like, 10 or 12 friends) are moving this year. 3 of these four were my best friends. I want to keep in touch with them, but that hasnt worked out with best friends who moved in the past. If these friends move, I'll be looking for best friend number 8.

I have a horrible time making new friends. I find that almost everyone in my school hates me to death, and wouldnt care less if I was dead tomorrow. Dont try to convince me otherwise, I already know.

My question is, how can I make some new friends this school year? I am very introverted and shy. I dont have many talents other than photography, piano, and legos. How can I get some new friends? It feels like anyone who I approach just wants me to go away and die.

Hey, Trainboy!
I have a friend JUST LIKE YOU... seen him around this way for the last seven years. But I really like him... even though he doesn't smile, is an introvert, cynical, forever upset, etc. etc....
All that doesn't really matter to me. I can admire him for his many other good virtues.
All people will not smile forever, or exude positivity around them. People will always be different. Not good, not bad... just different.
And, for sure, there will be people who will realize that you are just different, and learn to admire you for other wonderful qualities that you may have. You don't have to change yourself / or your attitude, just change your outlook towards yourself. Most importantly, you don't need talents to make friends. Just become more receptive, and you'll find the seeds of friendship, in the most unlikely quarters...

For making new friends... I would suggest that you do not make a conscious effort towards that. Friendship happens spontaneously... it's not something that has to be planned. You'll surely find friends who will connect with your spirit... but you don't have to go looking around for them.
Just keep yourself open to the world. You'll attract wonderful friends from everywhere.
join clubs and youll meet new people that way. strike up a conversation and you may get a friend that way. making friends is tough but not impossible. :)
I really do feel badly for u! My son is 15 years old and his dad was 16 years military so we had to move alot! And each time we did my son lost his friend and best friend. I felt sooo bad for him! But the Army makes you go when they WANT u to go! Now my husband is retired and our son had one friend move last year before school ended and another one is going to a different school next year. So poor thing- he will be in the very same boat you are in! Ill tell u what I gtold him. Keep a smile on your face- this makes you more approachable to other people- they will see u as fun and easy to be around. DONT pretend to be something and someone you are not! Be yourself so u attract people who have the same interests as you! Do more things than u normally would. Go skating- go to basketball and football games- get your butt out there! It will be ok sweetheart and you will fin d a new friend!!!! Good luck to u
be urself
Totally be more open to other people, you cant act depressing, i know you may not want to change that, but life has its obstacles, and you need to defeat it. Talk to others, joke, even if their the opposite sex, it doesnt matter. Dont be shy to talk to other people, and be able to have them trust you, and make sure you trust them.
choose as best answer
i think u should really think possitive because not everybody cant hate u is probably u really need to smile is a way to make friends be kind and if sum one needs help help them
