Question Posted Tuesday February 19 2008, 8:26 pm

i have friends who don't act like they are really my friends for example one girl told some other people her "secret" then one girl is telling me she is like i can't tell anyone. it's like they don't trust me, i am boring or i wera a scarf for religious reasons,my sis has friends who trust her and she doesn't wear her scarf i had the same problem with me in my last school even though i didn't wear a scarf.I can't also seem to make any friends because i don't hv any thing to talk about and i am kind of shy!

The best thing to do is to confront them and tell them whats wrong, but if they dont respect you and your thoughts they arn't really your friends....maybe it is time to meet some new people. I dont mean just from your school...i mean from many other places....Whats the point in having friends if they don't act like it.

I used to have this problem too. In fact, I still do sometimes. It has nothing to do with your scarf, trust me lol. It's not your fault, but here's some hints on how to reach out to people and make friends.
I understand the shy part totally. Sometimes though, being shy can be a good thing in a friendship. If everybody wanted to say something all at once in a conversation, then that wouldn't really be such a great discussion. So, instead, try standing there listening for a moment when conversations are started with you. Play to your strengths basically. If you don't have anything to say, just listen.
Sometimes, people choke up when talking to people because they are thinking too hard about what to say. Just because there is a silence doesn't mean it has to be an awkward one. Don't stress out about what the other person is thinking of you not saying anything, because it takes more than one person to create a silence.

Hope that helped a little. Good luck!
