Lots of people talk.  Learn to ask intelligent questions and listen and you will find friends pretty fast.  And after they are your friends your shyness about talking will start to fade as you get to know them.

If you're surrounded by "friends" who are miserable and don't like you a whole lot, how can you possibly make new friends? Sometimes, you have to be lonely for a while before you can become unlonlely again. Give it a shot, it won't kill you.\nJust don't call anymore. Just don't stop by. If they call you, go ahead and answer the phone (unless they start to harrass you- then you block their calls.) But when you answer the phone, just act like you're talking to somebody who's trying to sell you something you don't want; hear them out, then tell them you're not interested, have a nice day and thanks for calling... they'll either get their act together and start treating you better, or they'll be miserable without your help and you'll be on your way toward a better friendship with someone else.

Be yourself and be open about it. I mean why would be you want to find friends that aren't interested in you and only a fake you. So stay true to yourself. Also, take up a class, you want to find people wth some interest as you.

Try to strike up conversation at work with people, even if you don't think you have anything in common with them.  You never know what anyone is really like, and people who don't know you will take shyness as being aloof.  Be sure to make plenty of phone calls and write letters to those who you do know, no matter how far.  Explore and enjoy your new surroundings, and sooner than you think, they won't be so foreign and looming.

omg I'm quiet and shy too! People think I'm a snob and that I think I'm too good for them. One of the reasons they do that is because I dont smile. I know its hard, people tell shy people to just go up and talk to someone but its not that easy. I would try talking more to your friends (that would help you not to be as quiet and show people that you can talk to other people as well) thats what I am working on now. Good Luck!

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.

Just be yourself. Get out there and mingle. Go out with a buddy and have them help you meet new people.

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.\n

Do self pep talks at home. Use a mirror. Say hi to people.\nSmile. break the ice by asking questions like do you have the time?or comment on something that you like about them-clothing,hair,eyes,etc... Make it a goal to greet/meet someone different everyday. You can do it!!!

the thing is to not go for the loud outgoing people, they usually like to think they're great and enjoying bragging about it. the best type of people hang back and if you don't look you won't find them. the nice guys are just out there waiting to be found, get talking to everyone you can find and you will soon discover one!

I have that same problem.Just don't thick about something to say.Just relax and before you know it you will find yourself in a great conversation,unless he's quiet.Quiet people are really hard to talk to.Maybe you should go out for a drink.People loosen up when they drink.

i have almost exactly the same problem. what i'm trying to do is to be more talkative and loud around my friends so that i get comfortable with it, then i hope i'll be more talkative in general, even with people who arent my really good friends.

go to groups, like drama groups or other actives that you like and introduce yourself to people there.  But you have to be outgoing, because if you don't make to first move to say "hi" people will just think that you don't want to hang out with them!  Hope this helped and goodluck!
