Meeting People
I am having a hard time meeting people at the university I go to, and I'm not sure why. My friends say I walk too fast and that I'm unapproachable because I don't always speak first. I am a little shy, but I would really like to make some friends because most of the people I know recently dispersed to schools in other states/cities. I do talk to people when I can, but it just doesn't seem to develop into a friendship where we could hang out anywhere but school. Is there anything more I can do? Thanks.

Try to walk slower, you have plenty of time inbetween classes! Just try to keep a conversation going like, "Hey, whatcha doin this weekend?" "Got any plans tonight or later this week?" And also, try to get you friends and go out to bars and parties more and just relax! You will have a fun time and can make more friends!! I hope i helped!! :)

Are you new to the university environment? I think that everything will fall into place, we always somehow manage to meet the right people and stick with them, and manage to drift away from those that aren't right. It just takes some time, it's like freshmen year of high school all over again.
Forcing yourself to talk to lots of people won't help, it has to work itself out.

Self esteem plays a huge part in making new friends and keeping them. If you are confident about yourself, then everyone around you will be confident in you as well. However dont be afriad to make the first move I know it can be scary but just trust your gut. Join some clubs as well especially something that you are interested, you will then have a higher chance of meeting someone like yourself.

If you smile friendly and try to feel happy then you'll look more approachable. You could also say hey to the people you recognise from classes and stuff. Other than that all you can do is be yourself and make an effort to get to know people.
