I have to finish my priorities and then I will connect more with people around me.
I don’t have time right now for that, but it’s absolutely necessity for me because I feel more motivated if I have a lot of nice and lovable fiends who likes to share time with me.

How I did it: I met a lot of people in my summer school accelerated daap program. We got to know each other because we went through the same 'hell-like' experience of crazy 27 credit hour classes.

A great chance
3 days ago
I met some great people on my recent vacation. We all related to each other really well and I want to make a conscious effort to keep these new friends in my life. I need to plan some concrete events and things for us to enjoy and stay connected through.
Though my new friends do not live in my city, I think it’s still possible for us to stay connected. I have a great opportunity here!

I suppose that before I can really make new friends I should learn to keep the ones I already have?
The friend find is going ok. I’m always talking to someone new each week, and things are looking good. I’m even making friends with friends’ friends! :]

help :(
2 weeks ago
I just started at my new school.
This is my fourth week there now. Everything was going fine, until I got invited out with a bunch of kids from school last Friday night and we smoked bud, I was so high, everything still seems like a dream…anyway, I said ‘I hate this school’ or something along the lines of that, and I really didn’t mean it and I have no idea why I said it but now they all hate me :(
It’s a really small school, 300 students, so as soon as one person knows something everyone else does. I really thought I was about to make three new really close friends, but now they’ll hardly look at me.
I went to the station this morning and as I approched them they just looked away. I was like…’okay’ and I just stood there in the circle they then cut me out of it.
I just went home and now I’m writing this.
I’ve told them I didn’t mean it, but they still think I do, I say “I’m really sorry, I don’t know why I said that, I honestly didn’t mean it” they say, “Well, if you don’t mean it then why did you say it”
If I wasn’t trying to befriend them by this point I probably would’ve screamed at them by now, but instead I just ran home.
Please help, advise? What should I do??? They’re such nice girls and I really want them as friends
I have a few friends but I want more ...

Maybe this means I have to become a friendlier person. I am a nice person but I think friendliness is more associated with being outgoing. Outgoing means taking risks such as people not saying hello back to you when you initiate conversation.
But friends I know that are outgoing say that this is always the case. If you want to meet people you have to take risks like this. I can say the times I’ve done it I’ve usually been successful, so why not take it a step further!
Keeping up with people
3 weeks ago
Now that I’m paying more attention to the people that I meet, I’m starting to realize that I meet a good number of people (ok, maybe it’s just this week, but still). Perhaps I meet enough new people, but I just need to focus on getting to know the ones that I relate to.
