Question Posted Saturday November 11 2006, 12:34 am
i'm 14 year old girl and i go to a school with onl 80 kids
i'm really shy so i dont have a lot of friends. the few i have are also friends with the more popular people at school so if they had to choose who to hang out with, they'd probably go with the them. Also i don't have any guy friends and i have no idea how to talk to them so that limits my friend possibilities by half.
i'm wondering how i can meet a whole new set of people outside of school but who are just as good friends.
And just introduce yourself and engage in conversation. Since you guys go to the same school, you obviously can talk of teachers, students, gossip, etc., whatever you want to talk about. Then just ease of into other subjects. Music, hobbies, interests.
And just keep meeting with them and hanging with them until you become friends with them and can talk to them alot. Get their screename and maybe even give them a hug the first time you meet them. It'll show you're open adn friendly and ready to make friends with people.
Maybe even ask for their number, or just be like,"Hey, this was alot of fun, we should do this again soon." And then maybe talk about inside jokes that were shared or just walk up to them in school again the next day and ask them whats up, or IM them whenever you get home.
You just need to nudge yourself out of your comfort zone, which I know it uncomfortable and everything, but it'll show, like I siad, you're open and ready to make new friends, talk to people, and socialize and that you're alot of fun to be around.
Believe me, I've been starting to do this lately, and now my weekends are getting busier adn I'm getting to know alot more people that I didn't ever know existed.
