advice
Ok, first of all I'm very self concious about the number of friend I have so I was wondering how many is a good amount? Or just any advice on that problem at all?
Next, I'm starting a new school next year and going to camp this year and all that jazz. Do you have any tips on making new friends?
Don't be self concious! I only have like 2 close friends, but I'm fine with it. There really is no good amount, there are different opinions to different people. Plus, you shouldn't care because if you try to get friends just to have more friends, then they're not really friends.
The two steps I have to remember for making friends is:
1. Always smile and be entergetic (But don't be too enthused, because it might creep them out.)
2. When asking their name, remember it! People feel important when someone remembers their name.
If you see them in the hallway again or something, just be like Hey Monica! (sorry I'm watching friends right now, that's the name that popped up.) Also, if the person you're meeting doesn't say anything, you might have to strike up the conversation, but don't be intimidated.
When picking out which people to meet, I guess for camp you obviosusly have to introduce yourself to your roomates. As for school, find someone that's in a few of your classes that looks trustworthy and friendly.
