How do I make friends in high school?
I'm 16 years old and never had friends in my life. I'm really shy and quiet and I'm scare to talk to people. I feel so lonely everyday and everybody doesn't know I exist. I don't know how to get out of my shell. What can I do to be more outgoing and confident? I always get nervous when I talk to people.
How to make friends in high school?
Assuming your a girl, and further more shy, you probably won't need to do much. Although the join sports is bull crap, especially if you're no good at them. Find your friends and have them introduce you to other people. Also, some guys like girls who are shy, so this might help you. If you're not a girl then... heh heh ¦:)
I can't make new friends in high-school. What should I do?
You know what, I was the same way.Quick story time!Flashback to my freshman year…I had no friends freshman year. My only “friend” I had in 8th grade had found a new best friend and replaced me. I was all alone.I'm a friendly person, but for some reason, nobody liked me. Everyone was too busy with their own problems to even think of my existence. It's kind of pathetic how invisible I was to everyone.So- then there's a new kid. His name is Nick. He went to a private school nearby and was the only one from his private school to come to my public school.I see him in choir, but don't think much of him. Then, everyone in my choir introduces themselves and talks about what they did all summer…“Uh, hi. My name is Nick. I basically wasted my life watching anime all summer.”Oh! I watch a little anime too! That's cool.So after class, I walk up to him and introduce myself. I ask about what animes he watches and if he has any recommendations.He was friendly, but nothing more.Turns out the only other person he knew at school was my only other friend at school. So, he sat near me at lunch because he didn't know where else to sit.We became friends… and eventually, best friends.Fast forward to junior year…Me and nick have been best friends since freshman year. I don't have much more friends than him however.Anyways, the reason I tried to befriend him was because…He was new, and didn't know any judgements said about me.However, not everyone is as lucky as me. I know not everyone can make friends as quickly as I can (I'm not very shy).But what I recommend you do, is pick someone.Pick someone who you like, and tolerate.Talk to them (maybe stalk their Facebook page a little and find something you have in common).You can also try to strike conversation with people who sit near you in classes.And hey, not everyone in your school is rude and immature. TRUST ME. Everyone at your school has the potential to be a good person… That doesn't mean you're compatible as friends, but it does mean you can get along.Try and find someone you click with, as a friend. Don't be afraid to be outgoing, everyone's too busy thinking about their own problems, then to think how weird you are.
I have no friends in high school?
:( I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I was a loner in high school too, and it's very difficult. You feel embarrassed and ashamed, like for some reason it's your fault that you don't have a lot of friends. Not everyone is as evil or as mean as they seem. Smile more often, that is sure to help. People often think I'm a snob because I'm so quiet and shy, I've been told it makes it seem like 'i'm too good to talk to other people' but in reality i'm scared to death and don't know what to say. When someone told me that I was shocked and insulted, but it was a real eye opener. So, yeah... Try to smile more, it'll make you appear more friendly and approachable. If someone makes eye contact, maintain the eye contact and smile and simply say hi. It'll get much easier with practice and this really will draw people to you. I promise. I'm as shy as they get and just doing this has helped me tremendously. Now, I know this doesn't matter to you right now, but try to keep in mind that High School doesn't matter once you get into the 'real world.' Once those 4 years are up (and they really will go by fast) it won't matter who's friend with who, who's dating who, who's wearing what or any of that stuff. Just 1 year after graduating I was only stil in contact with maybe 3 people out of my class.
How do you make new friends on the first day of high school?
Do not abandon your friends from middle school. You will look like a stuck-up jerk. As time passes, you may become closer to some, and more distant from others, but let that come as a result of growth and change.The easiest way to make new friends is to be friendly. In most cases, high schools have more than one feeder schools, so there will be people you have never met before in your classes. Be friendly, but not pushy. Learn who the new people are in your class. Learn their names. Being called by name is a powerful validation for people in a new environment. You will be seen as friendly and approachable if you quickly learn and use your new classmates’ names.Get involved in extra-curricular activities. Sports, band, school newspapers and yearbooks all are looking for new students to replace last year’s seniors. If you are already involved in a sport or activity, it will be a great gateway to new friends.Don’t pass gossip. Listen, but do not repeat. Let people see that you aren’t that ubiquitous high-school jerk, the bad-mouther who is quick to pass on every bit of dirt.Unless your parents are rich, or you are a gifted athlete, don’t aim to be the top dog. A common high school trajectory for those people resembles a rocket—it goes up very quickly with a lot of flash, makes a big noise, then comes down just as fast.Use your time and opportunities. High school is your last chance for a free education; from the time of your graduation on, you will have to pay for everything in both money and time. Use this last opportunity well.Above all, be yourself.

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.
