the ultimate question: how to make (and keep) new friends
Question Posted Saturday September 22 2007, 12:21 am
I'm sure everyone has faced this problem at some point in his or her life. I tried searching for this question, but nothing really came up. Anyway...
First I will say that I am a very introverted person. But, I want to make new friends. This past year, I just haven't made any good friends. I know lots of people, but I don't really see them, or hang out. In fact, I don't even really like the people that I know. I haven't found anyone that I can connect with. If I have met someone that I think I could really be good friends with, they just don't really reciprocate. I feel like they aren't a good friend to me.
I'm moving to a new city soon. I'm seeing this as an opportunity to meet new people. But, how do I meet people like me, or rather, people that I can really get along with? How do I make a close group of friends?

I know you think your friends aren't good one's but when their gone its tough. You will eventually meet someone like you. There's so many people out there. When your not looking for them, it'll come.
There's no way to make a close group of friends. The best advice for that is to be nice to everyone. If your shy start by simple convos like "hello" then the next day ask them how their week was; little by little you'll notice you saying more to them. Thats how I meet my friends.
I know your thinking it's hard to make new friends and it wont happen. Keep your head up high kid, I know your probably really mature compared to other people
If you want you can always talk to me about anything..
