i have a really close friendship with two girls at my school. but thats about it. i want other friends. i mean i love my friends to death but i feel like thats all i have when we get in fights or when we just get tired of each other im stuck doing nothing because i have no one. there are some girls that i talk to and its not that they dont like me (not too many people hate me)i dont know what to do to have a better friendship with them.
also when older boys come and talk to me i freeze up.i have to idea what to say, though i would do anything for them to be friends with me. (who doesnt want older more mature boys to be freinds with them) with the freshman boys its not as big of deal though. basically i have no people skills ha. so yea please help me out! thank you in advace

If I had friends it was because the other person initiated the friendship. Now, however, if I walk into a place, rarely do I walk out without meeting a thousand people. What are some of your hobbies? What do you like to do? Use these things to meet other people. My 'bait' was shooting pool and football..two of my favorite things in the world. I used these things to start conversation.
You are still in school right? Try going to some of your schools sports games (football, basketball, etc).
You have to put yourself out there. I don't think it's that you don't have "people skills", you are just shy and the people skills have not showed themselves yet. More than anything I think it is FOR (fear of rejection). Until you get over this fear you'll never get far. Don't be afraid to laugh at yourself (this is the first step). Be silly, have fun, have confidence and show that you do...this attracts people like you'd never believe. Good luck girl and sorry so long =)
