sportscutie13 answered Friday July 23 2004, 12:13 pm: Maybe if you joined a few clubs or groups you would meet more people. Even if you only have 2 good friends, that's okay. Sometimes when you have too many friends you can get overwhelmed but if you want more friends, then you need to be outgoing make them laugh. Be the person you really are. I hope this helps!

xXaShXx07 answered Friday July 23 2004, 10:18 am: I can't tell you how to be yourself, but it helps to try to do that! Also if you want to make friends you have to go out and meet people, like you can go to the movies, the mall, if you hear about any parties you can call around and just say something like, "hey its _____ and i was wondering what is going on this weekend?" and if they are the ones throwing the party you will most likely get invited! Also, to know how to be yourself, look at how you act around your two best friends and at home. That is probably how you should act when you meet new people! good luck on making new friends! let me know if i can do anything else for you!

MFS answered Friday July 23 2004, 10:16 am: I SUGGEST LOTS AND LOTS OF PHATT CHA$H!!!
ok, so I jest...
you say that you have a lot of "not really/kinda sorta" friends... I'd work on making those relationships stronger. I would recommend that you keep the bond you have with your 2 really good friends and keep it strong. The best thing to do - just talk to people. Be nice, help people, talk, listen, joke, play, work, etc... You don't need an entorage to prove that you've successfully befriended people. There are a heaping ton of people that I call my friends - mind you, there are only a handful that I see and/or talk to on a regular basis, but that doesn't eliminate the friendships I have earned over the years. In fact, I'll be you have a lot more friends than you even realize. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
DorkyJay27 answered Friday July 23 2004, 7:52 am: bein yourself can be hard in highschool cant it? lol, i know this story too...but see i feel i only have 1 real/true friend, and then some kinda/sorta friends...dont go lookin for them, just relax concentrate on things that are important in highschool, lol like school. yeah,i said it..lol actin like an adult.but seriously, once you realize that school isnt about how popular you are, that's when you get more friends, i noticed that back in 7th grade i think. im not popular or anything, but i got friends. bein yourself is an obstacle to overcome, havin 2 true friends isnt odd or anything, it just means your a lil picky when it comes to lettin people see who you are, and thats okay. just relax.seriously, i hope i helped, and that wasnt to borin for you to read. lol [ DorkyJay27's advice column | Ask DorkyJay27 A Question ]
ShOrTnSwEeT42094 answered Friday July 23 2004, 7:19 am: Of course you know how to be yourself!!Just let yourself go!Do what comes naturally to you!If you're goofy and silly(like me!lol),then be that way,if you're a deep thinker and kind of quiet there's nothing wrong with being that way either,as long as it's your true self.People can usually tell when someone is being fake and trying too hard,and that turns them off of that person.I say just be friendly,smile at people when you see them in the halls at school,even if you don't know them,smile and say "Hi!"!!If you're in class and you get paired off into partners,and you notice that one person who everyone seems to be ignoring just because they're "not popular",march right up to them and say "Hey,you wanna be partners?".Let yourself be seen,participate in some after school activities or extra-curricular activities,show up at some parties on the weekends.I think people appreciate a sweet and genuine person,who's friendly and outgoing but always stays true to herself or himself.Let them see you having fun,and smiling....it's a magnet for new friends!! ;) Hope I helped some!If you need anything else,you know where to find me!!! Hehehe! [ ShOrTnSwEeT42094's advice column | Ask ShOrTnSwEeT42094 A Question ]

JessaMaria answered Friday July 23 2004, 5:24 am: You are right. BE YOURSELF. But if you really want attention. Wear cute-flashey clothing (not like revealing or anything) Go up to people chat. Ask them to go to the mall .. the movies.. try and have some fun. Good Luck. I hope it works <3 JessaMaria [ JessaMaria's advice column | Ask JessaMaria A Question ]
