making friends
I can't seem to make many new friends this year. I've always found social skills an easy thing for me, but this year something's different. It's really hard for me to strike up a conversation, because now I get really shy. I've already gone through the initial introduction process, so most of the people in my classes at least know who I am and I'd like to start hanging out with them, but wouldn't it be kind of weird to randomly start hanging out with them in the middle of the year? or going up to a group in my class and start hanging out with them (when they've already bonded)?
How do I get past the acquaintance stage without it being weird?
I've tried compliments (and been sincere about it) but there's only so many things you can't compliment on without seeming...fake, you know?

This is exactly the same problem I had last year. First of all, get into a club at school that you know you will enjoy. It can be really easy to make friends when you have the same interests-you have much to talk about. Also, sit with some new people at lunch. That way it won't seem weird when you are just talking to them. I hope this helps!

Try to look for someone to be friends with thats in the same shoes as you maybe they cant find friends because they are going through the same thing you sre going through. Hope ive helped.:)

Yeah,it can be really tough trying to make new friends,i have some ideas though that will hopefully help ya out.You could join a club or sport you are interested or enjoy doing,i did that and made a couple new friends from it.In class you could ask the person next to you a question on homework or the classwork you did and maybe you guys will start to have a conversation going.If you find someone you talk to in school quite a bitand they seem very nice,ask them if they would like to hang out with you after school or maybe on the weekend,you could suggest maybe bringing his/her friends too so you can make more friends that way.Youll make new friends eventually,just be yourself.Be confident,and smile alot,those things work too ; ]
