How Do I Get New Friends

How to make new friends?

Basically, my friends all suck. They are EXTREMELY catty. they are also extremely conceited narcissistic, and shallow. All they ever do is talk about me behind my back. If i text them, they ignore me. Today my "friends" FB status was "i'm so bored, nothing to do today" so i commented asking her to hang out. She completely ignored me, and instead she asked one of her other friends to hang out. my other friend hacked into my facebook to see if i was talking about her (which i wasnt) so i logged into hers and found them having a conversation about me, saying how i'll never get anywhere in life because i dont play a sport and that i'm a brat because i'm scared i'm not gunna get into a good college. And not only that, they said really mean things about my brother, who's always been nice to them. And they made some racial comments regarding me being spanish.They are always trying to compete with me over nothing, they think they're better than me because they play a sport, which i think is the dumbest thing in the world. They also think they are the hot sh!t, they are so narcissistic and all they ever do is take pictures of themselves and tell me i'm ugly.

Anyway, that was the most recent thing that pissed me off, but i think it's the straw that broke the camel's back. How do i get new friends? I can't just start over just like that. i'm kind of at a loss. I have other friends from other "groups" or cliques or whatever they're called, but i've never hung out with them outside of school. I've only ever hung out with these little b!tches and i'm really not gunna take their crap anymore.

How do I make new friends?

1. Spend more time around people. If you want to make friends, you first need to put yourself out there somehow in order to meet people. Friends seldom come knocking on your door while you sit at home playing computer games.

2. Compliment people's clothes, hair, eyes, etc

3. Join an organization with people who have common interests. You don't necessarily need to have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. In fact, some of the most rewarding friendships are between two people who don't have much in common at all, but if you like a specific topic, try searching for just a location. It's a great way to meet new local people! Social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+ are great way to meet new people and learn more about the people you meet. A church, synagogue, or other house of worship is a great place to start since you have at least have a religious faith in common.

4. Join a sports team. A common misconception about this is that you have to be really good at playing a particular sport in order to make friends with others on the team, but not all teams are so competitive. As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. But a sports team isn't the only way. If you play instruments or sing, try joining a band or choir.

5. Volunteer. Volunteering is a great way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together you build bonds with people, and you might meet others who have a passion for changing things the way you do (a common cause).

6. Talk to people. You can join a club, go to school, or go to church but you still won't make friends if you don't actually talk to people. By the same token, you don't have to be involved with an organization to be social, and any time you talk to someone, you have a chance at making a lasting friend. You can talk to anybody: the clerk at the video store, the person sitting next to you on the bus, or the person in front of you in the lunch line. Don't be too picky. Most conversations will be a dead-end of sorts, when you may never talk to that person again, or you just remain acquaintances--but once in a while you'll actually make a friend.

Good luck!

How to meet/make new friends.?

This is completely normal. I remember in high school I had heaps of friends but when I went to college, everyone went to different courses and it all sucked because I drifted apart from my old friends and now I kinda feel awkwrad around some of them, which is sad. But I managed to find new friends in college.

But you need to ask yourself - are ALL the people in your course like that? Obviously you sound like you don't like thos ekind of things, but surely not EVEryONE in your course is like that? Have you tried makin friends with the other people that aren't involved in such things?
Also - how do oyou know they despise you? It's quite a silly thing to "despise" over, I think it's just in your head.
I'm sorry to hear of your situation; but I think, the only way is to just go for it. You say youre attending clubs and socieites that got scrapped, then join others. Take up a new sport that you're not familiar with, start music or something. Sit next to new people in lectures and ask them questions. Sometimes it's also good to be blatantly honest and say - -look, I come from a different place where I left all my friends and it's tough meeting new people.

Another idea is to make yourself look ore presentatble. I know that sounds weird, but make people attracted to you. Not in the sense of girlfriend/boyfriend, but like, have a good attire, look good, and remember to smile. It sounds silly, but it goes a long way.

I know it's hard to "cut through" when there's many groups already, but you need to try. Or else, look for other people like yourself.

Good luck.

I am 19 years old. How do I make new friends and where should I go to find them?

I sympathize with you. It can be a weird transition from college, where socializing and meeting new people is a basic part of your daily routine, to adulthood, where your coworkers may not necessarily be the types of people you'd like to become friends with, and may be busy with their own lives. Have you ever tried out http://www.Meetup.com? It's pretty active in most big cities. You look for an activity that interests you and then go to the meetup. It's a pretty good way to meet people and everyone who goes to those things is very social, since the whole point of the meetups is to meet friends. You could also try on an online social networking site, maybe the Video Chat Rounds part of Facebook (http://www.rounds.com/facebook-video-chat ). Search people's profiles by location and start video chatting. If you hit it off with someone, you can meet up in real life.
