I have a hard time making friends


Question Posted Tuesday November 7 2006, 12:49 pm

I have a really hard time making friends. But when i do make a friend they only use me. I've lost a lot of confidence because of all of the friends that I've made that used me and because I moved across the country. I have like no friends and people don't like me and everyone seems to think that i'm really wierd adn try to avoid me. What can I do??

Start with liking yourself. Be a person you would want to hang out with. The more you grow the more self confidence you will gain. People will flock to you. Then you can pick which ones you want as friends. Start by being nice to others with out wanting anything in return. Second do something for your self that makes you feel better about you.

well there isn't much you can do you can't make them like you and if you change you'll just have fake friends. just be yourself and people will like you. and become your friend. don't worry i've been there. i was myself and now i have friends. you can also make friends online. it can be really good online too.

hmm, I'll tell you what I'm doing in a similar situation. start being as off the wall wierd as possible, and just act like you don't give a damn what they think. after a while, they'll just give up and leave you alone, and you might find a few strange people to befriend in the process.

I can honestly say that I can relate. I'm not sure how old you are, but middle and high school was always the worst for me. Lately though, I've realized to make good friends, you just have to be yourself. I know that sounds like a cheesy line out of a teen magazine - but it's true. Being yourself will help you make friends who honestly like you for you. The worst thing you could ever do is to try and 'fit' in or be friends with people who are completely different from you. Also, you have to reach out to others. You have to be a friend to have a friend. You can't just sit around and expect to have everyone come to you, you need to reach out. Clubs (not necessarily bars) are good ways to meet new people that you have things in common with. Hope I helped!
