How can I make more friends?  Am I depressed?

I doubt that drugs are the answer. You just need to get proactive and get involved in your new community. Start at your local library; see if your town has a newcomer's club. Check out your local community college for adult classes -- meet some new folks over a pottery wheel or ceramics class. Look at Yahoo Groups for groups that are listed in your city, pick a few that match your interests, join and start meeting people. Develop some online friends that you can take anywhere -- consider blogging, chat rooms, etc. If you're into religion, local churches are always involved in activities where you might meet friends. Volunteer! You will be making a difference while meeting others. I know that's a lot to throw at you, but if you think about it, that's how we all make friends. We find people who share our interests, begin with those interests as common ground, then develop a relationship over time. \n\nIf you're really bugged with the boyfriend, you should certainly talk to him about it. Of course, you could also just plan a private camping trip, just the two of you. Try not to be annoyed, though. You will be thankful that he wants to have his own friends when you have a passel of girlfriends and you all want a girls' night out.

Please seek help for your depression. You seem to be very stressed and need to talk to somebody about what is going on inside you. Everything happens for a reason...perhaps you don't have true friends because you are afraid to open up (especially if you have been hurt before). I don't blame you, perhaps you haven't had any experience making a good friend before. However, a doctor's advice is the best advice I can give you. Whatever happens with the Nanyang Scholarship will happen--if it was meant to be, it will be. Your world will not end if you don't get it. It may be more difficult, but it also may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.\n\nPlease get help for your depression. You were very brave to voice your concerns. Take care of yourself and the rest will fall into place.

I hate to say it, but i think you might want to find some better friends.  People who like you for who you are.  In the end, you will be much happier and be having much more fun. =)

You don't have to feel obliged to be a social butterfly. It's hard to talk to people you don't know. Just smile and say hi.

Are you really as cute and sexy as you say?  Just kidding.  But seriously it's hard to move around and try to make new friends.  Just try smiling and saying hi to people at first and if they seem receptive then start up a convo or ask them out for pizza or something.   Grab that bull by the balls and go for it! (figuratively speaking of course)

The best way for you to make friends is to let yourself go. What I mean by that is, you should be social. Dont be afraid to be yourself. 99.5% of the people like others for who they really are. And you may be surprised by how much you may have in common.

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 simple friendly 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. \n\nFor 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. A few jokes from time to time can also be a great ice breaker. \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 today as it was when it was written.

Other than asking here the easiest way to make friends in yahoo is to go to a chat room.  Strike up a conversation and you may make a new friend.

Stay busy. Keep moving. Treat yourself to a pedicure. Just don't stop moving or your situation will consume you.\nFind ONE great friend and you will NEVER be alone. If depression is a factor, I suggest you seek counseling that would fit your personal beliefs. I have suffered from depression my whole life which makes you afraid of being alone and scared all the time. Counseling was the best step I ever took, but you have to implement what you learn into your life.
