15/f I really need advice on how to make more friends. I'm kinda shy. I don't know how people make friends and I don't know what to do. I've tried all I could but I'm always nervous about "sounding cool" when i talk to people, I run out of things to say, and it's just very awkward and uncmfotable for me. Everyone's in some kind of clique and i don't fit in anywhere. How can I be better at socializng? How do you make friends?

Talk about what interests you. That's how you figure out if you have something in common with the other person. If you share an interest, you will have plenty to talk about.
Don't try to go up and socialize with a group of people- try to befriend one person out of a group. If you and the other person click, they will introduce you to their friends.
