Don't change who you are because you want to have many friends; Remain yourself and your friends; people of like minds will recognise you. Smile often though, because it will make you stand out and it takes very little effort.

Go to some of the parties.  Join clubs.  Get professional help if you need it.  Do whatever it takes to get over your crippling shyness and be a little more social.  Volunteering is a nice way to meet people and it also improves your personality and confidence.

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!

Definitely make some new friends.  Even or especially if they seem to be totally the opposite of people you are normally friends with.   Join an activity/club/course (sports league, book club, cooking class, etc.) and new friends will come automatically.  You may also gain a skill that makes you more confident.\n\nAlso, going to the gym or riding a bike, taking a walk, etc. will make you feel better b/c of the endorphins that exercise naturally provides.  Do little things for yourself -- like even taking a different route on your way to work/school/errands, or taking a walk in a park you've never been to, can make a big difference!

i think you need to find that one friend that you can act like a fool with, and slowly hang out with them in public places, then see if yuo can add another, and slowly go from there, and about the who aniety thing, i think you'll over come it, and i wish you the best of luck in everything that you do becuase you sound like a really cool person, and i hope you find your place, cuase you sound like you deserve it, teehee

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.

1. Be friendly. Smile a lot.\n2. Look at people in their eyes while they're talking to you. Don't feel you have to say something everytime someone says something to you. Just listen and look at them. And nod, smile, or show them that you are listening with your eyes.\n3. Ask someone for a favor - simple things like, "May I borrow a pencil? Thanks...." and be sure to return it when you're done.\n4. Remember what someone says in a casual conversation and try to bring it up again in a future conversation...like..."Oh, yeah, you like that CD, don't you?" (little things are important to getting lots of friends)\n5. Never ever act in a mean way...even if some girls are pressuring you to. When others are speaking badly of someone, try changing the subject. People will notice and remember, and someday..they will come to you for friendship, because you have proven to them that you are kind.\n6. Accept invitations to do things with people. Take safe risks.\n7. Take care of yourself with pride and total self-respect. That trains others to think of you with respect.\n8. Enjoy life and have fun. People love to be around someone who is able to have fun.

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..

Great communicators/conversationists know how to ask questions and LISTEN with interest to the answers. If you are quiet by nature, you are ahead of the game, unlikely to be inclined to blubber idiotically. Stop trying to overcome your 'shyness' and stop worrying about what YOU have to say. It's the fear of being rejected that trips you up. \n\nLearn to listen. The right words --- the ones 'outgoing' people usually can't utter --- will come when you stop worrying about what YOU have to say and just listen quietly. Try it out and tell me it doesn't change how you view your 'social self.' \n\nGood luck!

It depends on your situation.  If you have kids then it's so much easier to meet new people.  You just smile when dropping off your child at school.  Or at the local shops, or at your new workplace, etc.\nAfter becoming a little more familiar in whichever environment you're in make small talk.  "Gosh the weather's been weird lately hasn't it?" or "Nice shoes!" or "I can't believe the price of sausages these days.  They used to be a cheap meal!" etc\nWhen a face has become a familiar one and the small talk is going well say "Would you like to grab a coffee/beer/etc?"\nActually that's how I've made friends, but for guys that approach might be a little odd.  Join a gym, or sporting team, or church, or go to the same place on a regular basis (just not a playground unless you have kids...that would be creepy!)\nGood Luck!

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.

Just be you.  Even if you think that you is not cool, there is someone who is probably like you and will end up being your friend.

To make a friend, you first must be one. Make conversation with someone you like but don't know very well. Everyone has to start somewhere. Good luck sweetie!
