<p>most people are very superficial. dont try too hard to become someone youre not.</p>
<p>
Find people with similar interests (say… people who like Crue!), or go to bars/parties. Call people to hang out and do stuff, don’t be passive.</p>
<p>For all of those people who are dissing on the OP and calling him a loser/■■■■■, seriously, grow up. The guy doens’t have friends. Try being in the same situation yourself, up until so late in the school year, and see how you feel.</p>
<p>OP: All the stuff about seeking out people with similar interests is a good idea. Going to bars/parties is something you gotta do with people…but like GoldShadow said, pick up the phone, get on facebook chat, invite some people to hang out! You do have to take initiative sometimes, but just make sure to notice the people’s body language (get a book on body language if need be) if they seem to think you’re clingy, back off, fix your approach style, and try talking to someone new :)</p>
<p>Oh, and I"ve been in your boat. PM me if you wish. :)</p>
<p>If you’re having this problem, then it shows there is a deeper personality flaw. There is no quick-fix that will satisfy you. Even if you make new friends, you will still be in the same behavior patterns.
Examine yourself, and see where your unattractrive behaviors are, work on elminating those to reveal the cool guy underneath.</p>
<p>you need to chill out. be yourself and relax. easy as that. and talk dont be shy.</p>
<p>The odd thing is, the more you want friends, the less you’ll have, after a point. What I mean is, you’ll only make friends if you have an attitude like “There’s a lot of cool people here who it would be fun to meet but it’s no big deal.” If you’re always thinking about how you want friends so bad, people will pick up on that, but of course if you act like you hate people and don’t want any friends at all, people will definitely not want to hang around you obviously (I know that’s not your problem, but just don’t think I’m telling you to go to that extreme.) Basically, you have to want friends but not bad. Tell yourself that and try to come across like that. It’s hard but it’s the only way.</p>
<p>Also, don’t ask people to go out unless you’ve hung out with them a lot informally. Like somebody else said, try to read their body language and tone of voice and see if they seem to be really digging you before you ask them to go and do stuff.</p>
<p>And on the same note, DO NOT ask girls on dates on like the first or second time you’ve ever seen them. I don’t know if you do this, but I just wanted to warn you, it’s really annoying.</p>
<p>This is coming from someone who used to be super shy (I was homeschooled in highschool, so that didn’t really help my social skills). The first half of this semester I only knew like two people and we just pretty much said hi, but by now I have some pretty good friends and we mostly hang out at school and text/FB and do stuff occasionally. I’ve figured out that the more friendly-chill vibes you give off, the better.</p>
