Is it too late to make friends?
well I went to the same school for 6th and 7th grade and I had so much friends and I now go to a new school for my 8th year I've been an 8th grader ever since September in this school so everyone already has friends since it's 8th grade.I'm very shy and don't talk to anyone I just sit and wait for someone to talk to me. Which no one has!.....so I know I should've tried to find another way but I was too shy to do it.....so I've made no friends since then and it's now March!.... (Things that run through my head when I want to talk to someone: It's too late now, I bet they don't like me, There'll be a long awkard silence and I won't have anything to say, I might as well not try)...But I'm so sick of not making any friends I even found out today from my one friend that people who don't know me don't like me cause they think I have an attitude when Im just shy.....and Im just a burden to that friend Im the loser who can't get a friend so I have to hang out with her this whole year....
How do I make new friends now that my old friends have moved on?
Finding friends can be difficult if done randomly. Here are two suggestions:(1) Find a hobby outside the home that you really enjoy. You will meet people of both sexes doing the same thing. You will find it very easy to talk to them about your common interests.(2) Volunteer for a non-profit organization that is involved with some issue that you feel deeply about. Again, you will meet people with similar interests who will be happy to talk to you and befriend you.
How can I make friends at CSULB?
I'm really anxious and had a bad experience with previous universities. I will be a transfer student, and I'm wondering how do I join clubs and stuff when I'm all alone and everyone is in cliques already. I'm also embarrassed that I have no friends right now...I feel like everyone does already and I don't want to come off desperate. HELP! Serious answers only please.
I used to have so many friends but now I am lonely. What should I do?
I wish I had better news, but this only becomes more difficult as you get older. Once you’re done with school, it becomes more difficult to make friends. The friends I confide in most are the friends I made at school. As you work more and change jobs, you sometimes never see co-workers again….even though you saw them every day for X amount of years. Everyone’s priorities change because everyone is on a different path. It is okay though! First, don’t look to others for fulfillment. Do some self exploration. What do you enjoy doing? What are your hobbies? What activities are you interested in? Create something new, and here you can open the door to make new friends. You have to find a commonality with others. Even if you’re not ready to really commit to anything, you can dip your toes in the water. I mean, if you’re artistic, try painting and photography classes, etc. If you enjoy or want to start running, search for running groups online. It’s easy to become lonely, but it requires work and consistency to meet new friends. You’ll see that many of the people you meet are in the same boat and can even introduce you to new friends. Enjoy your life, whether it be alone or with friends. If you don’t like what you’ve chosen, just change your direction, and try something else. Hang in there!
How can I make new friends since I've cut out all the toxic ones out of my life & now have none left?
I decided to do this same exact thing when I realized I never felt of about myself after out with friends. They would exclude me, tease me, and I often left in tears. One day I decided I wouldn't put myself in that unhappy position anymore, so I just stopped coming to the things they invited me to. since then, I've sort of been wandering between the community of people who I have classes with at school and who I'm with at extracurricular activities. I started to be th people more when I stopped expecting them to gravitate toward me. There's nothing wrong with being the one to invite everyone over your house! throw party! Invite everyone to the movies or the pizza place! Most importantly, be honest, open, and yourself! Surprisingly, people feel really special when you reveal your true personality to them. It's okay to let new friends know that you're vulnerable. If you trust someone and you want to be close friends, try telling them you think theyre really special and you want to get to know them better. Then invite them to more stuff! People will love you the way you deserve to be loved!
How do I make friends now that I'm out of school and I can't just join a club?
Try the Meetup dot com web page: We are what we doPeople organize groups for all different kinds of interests and ages (hiking, dining out, book groups, etc.). You can search for groups near your zip code. Look for groups that have large numbers of recently scheduled events. If there are no groups for your interests, consider trying to start your own group.Also consider volunteer work: VolunteerMatch - Where Volunteering Begins asks you for your zip code, age group, and skills or interests and lists local opportunities. I signed up to walk dogs at my local SPCA and I loved that.
Why is it so hard to find true friends these days?
TLDR: Because trust is difficult to obtain.Because people are assholes.Hold on, let me explain. As you get older, you become picky. As a kid you don’t care. You like baseball, Johnny likes baseball, so Johnny is now a friend. As an adult a friend is a serious investment. You have a job, you have responsibilities, you come home after work pretty much dead, pondering to just shoot yourself and be done with it.At the age of about 15 you learn the true nature of people: they put themselves before anything else. It sounds like a simple idea, but it’s a bit more complicated. People will easily betray you, people will spread rumors, people will do anything if they see you as an obstacle that needs to be removed.As you (and the people) grow older, cynicism comes into play. You learn to not trust people. You learn that strangers will betray you, stomp you into the ground for a measly dollar. Hell, they’ll do it for fun.You need someone you can trust and that’s one hell of a requirement.You need someone who, regardless of consequences or potential profit, or hell, entertainment will trust you and you can trust them to not suddenly stab them in the back. People do it “for the lulz” all the time. Finding that someone is difficult. It’s one hell of a quest. Finding a true friend these days is almost impossible.That’s why people pretty much give up once they’re older.You need to invest time and money into friendship and if the other party senses something shifty is going on, they pull out immediately and without any explanation.
How to make friends in community college?
Monti, I feel your pain man. My family moved to a different state and I chose to go wit them. I have no friends and am doing the community college/transfer bit also. To make friends just be yourself, if you are a quiet person make an effort to go around and talk to people and sit next to new people everyday in class, and just don't worry too much. You can't force friendship it just comes naturally.
