How to make more friends?

I am good at this away from schoolo but not at school. I get really shy. any suggestions

Answer #1

I know what you mean, I’m a crazy kid…outside of school but when I’m at school I tend to stay quiet and same here too, I dont have a group that I just chill with, I hang out with everyone and talk to everyone, like you can’t classify me as anything from the people you see me with I guess what you should do, is look for people that share similar hobbies or activities and just try to get to know them a little better, either that or just stay the way you are, get to know everyone plus life shouldn’t be about what group your in or who you hang out with, well at least high school shouldn’t be, but we tend to make it that way

break down the doors and barriers,be the first

Answer #2

Spend more time with people outside .. I mean at a bar, in class, at parties , in the playground, stadium etc..you may feel that you are alone/isolated in the beginning but stand through it. This would mean that you see more people and show yourself more to people. If you are shy, you may find many people not so shy who may eventually approach you for friendship. Also being in a social circle more often gives you ideas on working with people, talking to them and you habituate into making friend !!! :)

There are also a few look up tips in books..Like maintaining a positive body language to attract people etc..those I am sure you can look up in a personality development book.

The quick thing I can suggest is as above. Stay in people’s company. Even if you feel shy to approach someone just stay in their sight. I am reiterating to make my point that you don’t take to seclusion habits like watching TV/PC alone for long times..this restricts your social acumen and you would find making friends even more difficult !!

I hope it helps …

Start with who you feel most comfortable with. I was extremely shy as well. I think just going to the same school with the same people each year helped me come out of my shell. Be yourself most of all. Don’t try to be someone else so you can have “friends”.

Good Luck, Mama K (old school)

Answer #4

well when im away from school no one can shut me up. and im so outgoing and loud. but at school, something just happens and I get really shy. I’ve been trying to figure out why for thie longest time. mabe its because I dont really have a universal group that I always hang out with. the closest one I had was way to dramaful for me to handle so I set out to find a different group. mabe im picky but all of the different groups dont really fit who I am. the nice people are all really in mature, and the mature groups have too much drama and bad influences. mabe its not so much that im shy, but I have no one to be myself to??? does this make sense?

Answer #5

Okay, say you’re in band… maybe say ‘hey can we share a stand’ to someone else who plays your instrument Then say HI im Kylie (my name, probably not yours). good luck

Answer #6
