80195
Depending on our situation meeting people to become friends with can be very easy or extremely difficult. Clubs, local organizations activities, schools, church, libraries, book stores, gyms, jogging, parks, beach, lakes, malls, etc. can all be places to meet new people. Once you’ve met them talking and keeping the person interested is probably the most important thing.\n\nTo keep the other person interested in a conversation don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Become genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nThere are lots of ways to start a conversation; keeping yourself informed on current events, staying involved in activities, and keeping a mental list of good topics of discussion are excellent ways to break the ice. For other topics to talk about you can search the internet about things that you, or the people you will be talking with, are interested in. If you like games, perhaps search for the latest information about the x-box 360 games, pc games, ps3, revolution, etc. If you like tv-shows, movies, books, pets, etc. Jokes are also great and the internet has lots of them. Make sure to ask simple, friendly questions about the person.\n\nAlso remember that body language is very important! Most people don’t even realize it but most times you’ll already have made a lot of decisions about the person by their body language and tone, before you’re more than a minute into a conversation. You want to be cool, calm, and collected; act like the person is an old friend, even if you’ve never talked to them before, and make sure to look them in the eye. Instead of focusing on how uncomfortable you feel, prepare yourself by thinking of the issues that interest you most and what you would like to discuss about a particular subject. A little preparation can go a long way.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are Very Few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\nIf you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful to

I really recommend joining some clubs that relate to your interests.  Even so, you will have to step outside your comfort zone a bit and strike up conversations with people.  Don't wait for others to make all the effort as friendships take two working on it to develop.

Going to a new school can be a lil scary. But it can be just as exciting! \n\nSometimes making friends can be a challenge - especially if you're shy! So first off - you need to think of who you want as friends. Most people like to make friends with people who like to do the same things as they do.\n\nSmile! When you smile, people think you are nice and easy to talk to. \n\nStart a conversation by saying something nice to someone. "Great answer to the teachers question"\n\nAsk your new friend questions about themselves..."Whose your favorite singer?" Make sure you have plenty to offer a conversation to keep it going. (personal experiences, likes/dislikes...)\n\nA great way to meet new people is to get involved in an extra curricular activity. Wether it be signing up for something in school or outside of school!\n\nAs far as teachers go...it's their job is to teach you and your job as a student is to learn. Most teachers are approachable and willing to help you when you need it. If you are confident - you can introduce yourself but if not - in time they will get to know you and you them!\n\nIf you happen to bump into a bully: Try not to show them fear because they love that.\n\nIf you start feeling scared because someone has hurt you (punch, kicked) tell an adult right away!\n\nOtherwise, just be yourself! You are wonderful in your own ways!\n\nHave fun and good luck...

Just like you would make new friends in school. \nBe approachable,\nBe friendly-say hello to your neighbours.\nAs you go to the gym/pub get to know people-introduce yourself. \nIn time you will have many aquaintances and maybe a few friends from those interactions.

It's much more important to have good friends then a lot of friends. So don't try to make new friends just for the sake of having more friends. But if you must, try getting involved in a school activity or volunteer program. You'll be with a group of people that have simlar interests and you are bound to make new friends.

So you want to make friends now because you feel lonely .... does this about sum it up?\n\nStart slow; call your "best" friend and arrange a lunch.  During lunch tell your friend what you've told all of us and ask for his help in getting you out more socially.\n\nOr, make new friends.  Go to an event where people are put together by common interest - a book club, gardening club, whatever you are interested in.\n\nSince you've spent your life being alone, here's a rule to being a friend that will help - show interest in the other person, the friendship isn't all about you!  Ask questions about their life, most people love to share stories of their lives; after all, they want to share themselves too!
