Ok, so i moved from California to Ohio this summer, mid July, and i didnt really meet anyone during the summer because there wernt really any oppotunities. So i thought ok i will make friends when school starts, well i started wednesday. No one has even attempted to talk to me there, not even say hi. So when lunch comes around i sit at an empty table and eat by myself. I feel like such a loner. At my old school i had soooo many friends. What am i doing wrong? People tell be just be friendly, well of course im friendly but whenever i try to talk to people i feel out of place, like they are thinking, "Who is this weird new girl?" Im tired of not having anyone to talk to or hang out with, Ive cried all my tears and I just want to know, Is Something Wrong With Me!? Thanks for reading.

Nothings wrong with you. I had to do that for a week or so when I moved to a new school. Some people are just wayy too "shy" to approach others. You can't always expect people to come to you, so instead of sitting there.. try talking to someone in one of your classes & see if you can sit with them. It sounds a little random, but no one is going to say no to having a new friend. & if they do, then you're too good to be friends with them anyway. That's the only way I made it through my first year at a new school [before meeting others the next year] - & that was by randomly striking up a conversation with someone who looked nice enough. Once you meet one or two people, it's usually easy to meet a lot more new faces through them. :) Good luck & don't ever think there's something wrong with you. It's tough, I know.
