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 wanna stop being shy, socialize as much as you can! you'll observe others, imitate them at first, and in time get enough courage to do whatever you wanted to.

Hi maybe join group who do things that you are interested in, that way you will meet and become more outgoing as time passes.\n\nI'm sure there are social groups nearby who hold meetings regularly same thing as you get to know ppl then anxieties will slowly fade.\n\nYou are not alone believe me, many others feels same, it's hard to go up and talk but with alittle practice it will become 2nd nature.\nPpl love talking about themselves so that is a good ice breaker to ask what they like to do in general.\nThen it is easier each time plus you meet plenty of different ppl ,but remember you have to give info also, as is not one way street..best of luck cheers..

Make acquaintances before making friends. not all acquaintances become frineds. Don't be afraid to meet with new people, this is the only way I can think of.

You could try to make more friends by joining an afterschool activity or even an out of school activity.  Try to find people who share similar interests and your friendship group will grow.

First you have to show yourself as being friendly!  Approach people with confidence, and a smile.  If this doesn't work forget about it!  I know a friend that will be your friend for life, and will never let you be lonely again.  GOD.

Urs is a typical problem. If u dont mind, Il suggest u 1 thing. Consult a Psychiartist and get solution to ur problem. It will definitely help u. If u dont like the above suggestion, then I can suggest u a few things. First of all observe all types of conversations around u and get an idea how the people are talking (If they are ur friends or relatives, its better). Just start interacting with people by saying hi, how r u? How is ur work going on? For the people whom u dont have any conversation, just smile and say how r u? It forms a good impression to that person on u. At the same time dont talk unnecessary matters and dont make kidding. Just ask abt their future plans and a best one is u can adopt flattery also, but in a decent way. Be positive & appear positive in every word u speak. Ur postures and gestures should be good while ur speaking and u should be bold and confident enough. I think this would definitely help out u.\n\nIf u also think like that vote me as best. All the Best.

get involved in groups or activities that you are passionate about.  That way you'll be around and meet people that share similar interest.  You won't meet people just sitting at you home.  get out and get somewhere!

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.

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!

You need to be around people plain and simple learn conversational skills and work the room. Maybe even a galss of wine in a social setting would help. Or talk to the faceless people on here and work your way up to a party.

Most people find it hard to make friends when they're trying to appear to be someone other than themselves.  The true part of you, the part that makes you different from everyone else, is the part that can be loved.  If you're hiding that part out of fear, then no one can get to know you.\n\n\nAs hard as it sounds, you've got to learn to relax.  You can do this by finding things that YOU like to do, and join a club or take a class in it, or go where people gather to do that.  Then you will meet people who share your interests; and you will also have something to talk about besides the weather. When you start having fun, people will be attracted to you naturally.
