How do people make friends after high school?
The bad news is that you don’t have a handy pool of potential classmates or fellow schoolbus-riders or other people you see all the time to talk to. You have to make an effort.The good news is that you’re an adult. You have independence, probably a job which means a little spending money, and no taboos on making friends older or younger than you are.So you can do things. All sorts of things. Go to museums or concerts or lectures or even just hang out at your local coffee place. Follow your interests. I guarantee you that there will be other people at the knitting store or the community swimming pool or taking oboe lessons. Whatever you choose to do, there will be other people who are also interested in it. Talk to these people.Example: I used to hang out at a coffee place and read the newspaper before work most mornings. There was a guy there who also read the newspaper. (Even in those days, this was unusual.) Eventually we started talking. Then we got in the habit of sitting together. More than 30 years later, we’re still good friends although we now live 100 miles apart. My husband and I will be visiting him next week.If you keep doing something, you’ll start to see the same people over and over again. Familiarity will build and make it easier to start talking.
How to make friends in school?
I am a 16 year old girl entering my junior year in High School. The thing is, I have no friends. I have a few people here and there that I can have casual conversation with, but that's all. I am just looking for tips to make friends. What I am finding hard is that I have been with the same people in my school since 6th grade, so about 5 years. Everyone already knows each other and has already established friends. Everyone sees me as the "weird shy girl" I think. I used to have friends from about 4th - 8th grade but when we entered high school they didn't talk to me anymore. I am very shy because I am really self - conscious and I find it hard to talk about common interests with people since I don't engage in the interests that are common for people my age. I just want to enter this school year and make friends so I am not paranoid when we have to have partners in class, etc. And I am tired of being lonely and seeing everyone else out with their friends and making plans and meanwhile I am always by myself. I haven't hanged out with someone for about 2 years. It would be easier in an environment where I could make a first impression that is not "extremely shy", but I think that is what most people see me as so they avoid talking to me. I'm tired of being shy and lonely. Any tips would be appreciated. I am going to try to join clubs and be more social but I don't know what else to do.
How to make friends at my new school?
hey hon don't worry about it, i've moved a lot of times, and i like to think that it is always nice to meet new people you can find really good new friends or interesting people :) ... be confident the morning you wake up for your first day look to the mirror and tell your self the amazing things that you have and how everyone will like them... you should say or talk about the things you like , just avoid weird things lol ... that won't make a good first impression at lunch try to approach someone , avoid eating alone but if you have to, well it is fine :) i like to think of hot guys just as someone else act natural, they are just people .. who happen to be hot ( but ignore that fact lol) hope i help, just remember that a confident woman is gorgeous
How can I make friends in middle school?
Middle school is tough for everyone but here are a few things you can try:Talk to the people that sit next to you in class. They are the ones you will see the most, after all.If you share a locker, talk to your locker-mate whenever you're both there.Talk to your friends’ friends.Try sitting at different tables in the cafeteria until you find a group you like.Find someone sitting alone and ask if you can join them even if their friends are on their way.If you need to borrow something (pencil, erasers, yesterday's notes), ask someone you've never talked to or someone you don't know well.Join a club or a sports team or a camp or a church group outside of school or in school.Be the one to suggest plans outside of school. Some people never think about that or don't want to be the one to make suggestions. Invite a group of people to the movies or mini-golf or pizza or video games at your house. Some of them will probably come and if they don't, ask different people next time.Set mini-challenges for yourself for the number of fellow classmates you're going to talk to every day.Talk to your school counselor to see if they have any suggestions specific to your school or town.Basically, the more people you talk to multiple times, the better chances you have of finding people that like you and share some of your interests and match your sense of humor.

How to make friends in a Ghetto School?
I have just recently transferred to a school, and I noticed it was mostly backs and Hispanics.( Im not trying to be racist or anything). So I can from a school that was mostly white, and the change is a lot to take in. I've only been in this school for about 3-4 weeks, so I guess I still count as the " new Girl". But anyway, I want to start new, be who I truly am, but I don't want to be not normal. Im Asian, and I got put into sophomore classes( im a freshman), so people already call me the " smart girl" before they even met me. Its like " Oh, I don't know who you are, but you're smart." So the thing is, I don't want to be called that. Im typically nice, and enjoy being a normal girl, I feel that if I don't change, then people are just going to think that Im the Nerdy Asian throughout my whole life in high school. I like to hang out with friends, and I don't like how people stereotype us Asians as " smart or Nerdy". And, Im extremely shy, and a horrible conversation maker, everything I talk about is always met with a silent ending....I figure that I can still be normal, if I can just change the way I act a bit. Im not very girly, I like to wear comfortable clothing. Also , we have uniforms , so I won't be judged about what I wear( thank god). So the thing is, is that my school is sorta Ghetto. Everyone uses the " N" word in their basic sentences, and the teacher don't even care about it. So how can I fit into this type of school? I initially decided to come was because of the courses they offered, but now I guess I need to make friends, so I have people to sit with or chat with, to be not alone. It seems though everyone is in their cliques, and I would just be the awkward one to be asking to join. I don't want to be Ghetto, I just wanna be friends with everyone, and not get judged. conversation starting doesn't come easy to, I would be like " I have to speak up" to myself everyday, but I always chicken out. Have any of you been in the situation im in? Wanting to fit in, but don't know how to? Please help me...
