Sensitive Why is it hard to make friends? (1 Viewer)

[sweetmochiiiii]

I don’t have many friends, 1-2 max. Ever since I moved schools it’s been soo much harder to make friends and idk what I’m doing tbh. I need advice 😭

You could try joining some clubs if your school offers them. I would also suggest maybe trying to get to know your desk mates in your classes and communicate with them. You could also try hanging out with your friend's friends and see if you get along. If you're an introvert, I understand how hard it is but I wish you the best of luck.

Just curious, do you want friends or do you believe you should have them?

I want friends

I want friends

Ah, ok. I ask because there's some people that believe they need to have a lot of friends because of outside influences when in reality, they're happy being alone but they think they're lonely because of what people tell them.

I think it's also important to remember the saying "Quality over Quantity". It's not bad to want/have lots of friends but it's better to have 1-3 close friends in your inner circle that you can trust instead of having 10+ that will tire you out. Of course, everyone's different but just a tip.

That's great, I'm sure that you'll meet many people there. For the time being, I guess all I can say is take baby steps and slowly step out of your comfort zone. It can start simple like waving to someone you sit next to or is an acquaintance with. Even saying a simple compliment to someone can go a long way. You can also try finding people that have similar interests as you. Also, you may have to make the first move sometimes because not everyone will. By being yourself and being positive, I can guarantee that people will notice and want to be friends with you because they like your personality and they want to be with someone who radiates that energy. I'm bad at giving advice, sorry! I hope you found at least part of this helpful.

 

[sweetmochiiiii]

No you are great. You gave me very useful and great advice. I appreciate it!

what are you doing to make friends then...
are you interested in what other people are interested in?

 

[DaisySkies]

i only have 2 friends and i'm not sure how i met them, but my friends met each other when they had to wash lunch tables together and then i met them ^^ friends can be made by asking to be in a group/partner with them in classwork.....or if your teachers are like mine, will choose your groups/partners for you and you can see if you can do some small talk while you're in the partner/group work ^^ i know you'll be able to make some friends!! you're a really kind person <33

true true...
but I guess the thing is to just try have a conversation with people lol

like me and when I first meet you my first thing that I said was "so tell me something about yourself that I don't already know" as a conversation starter
