A Positive Friend
17.F
In the last several months, I have discovered true happiness and am on a quest of self-improvement. I have come to realize that one of my best friends for years is one of, if not, the, most negative person I have ever met. I love and support her, but I have come to realize that I need new friends who are positive like me. I feel the need to associate myself with positive people.
There is one girl I know from school, but we are not friends necessarily. We had a couple classes together last year, and I realize that I really want to be friends with her and have her positive attitude rub off on me. I have two classes with her this upcoming year. We each have our own friend circles, but I really want to get to know her and I feel that she will be a really great friend to have in my life. I am pretty good at making friends, but does anyone have any advice for me? Maybe I can ask her to be my partner in those classes or sit near her. I don't want to come off as forward and obsessive, though.
Does anyone have any advice for this situation, or life advice for me? I appreciate all comments and criticisms.

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Well, one of the hardest things in our lives, are to make a mutual connection with people, in general. Friendships can always be created, but in this case, your situation is more serious. You're not only looking for that connection, you're looking to build something that would be life term. Its terrible that you have surrounded yourself around the negatively energetic people, glad you realize its very unhealthy.
You have someone who you feel can potentially lead to something long living. Friendship that feels like the relation to sisters (of course everyone would want that). Seems like you would have to initiate either the meet or conversation. Start off with a random topic about the class that you share. Or maybe how the school year is going for you two. Trust me, there's nothing that can go wrong accept if she doesn't want to be friends (which is unlikely, but may occur).
You have a greater chance just getting to know her, not necessarily jumping straight into personal discussions. Stick to generalization, until the conversation drifts elsewhere. You'll be fine!
Good Luck!
Let me know how it turns out
