How to make friends
It made me
feel gooooood.
 "Everyone wants to be accepted and loved by others, and to achieve that, all we have to do is be kind to others!"
How I did it: I joined lots of sports teams at my high school and found out that I was good at some of them! Then, I started talking to different people at practice. They thought I was stuck up because I'm shy and normally don't talk to people, but they liked me once I came out of my shell and I got to know them better. After we'd talked for a while, I started inviting friends over, having parties, and hanging out. Lessons & tips: Be nice! Not overly nice, but offer up an occasional compliment. Encourage people when they're struggling. Offer a helping hand. They'll return the favor, and you may gain a friend in the process.

How I did it: I transfer to a new college this year and I was really nervous about making friends. My best friend goes to this school so I was afraid I would cling to her and never make any other friends. I instead put myself out there, started talking to people, and now I have friends who want to hang out with me. Read how I did it…

whatever, fine. 
How I did it: Even if they don't, don't change who you are, otherwise you'll just attract people who aren't friends. A good way to make some good friends fast is to join a social networking site. I'll put some links in the resources. Read how I did it…

I want friends
4 weeks ago
I haven’t had real friends in a long time. Sometimes I think it’s hard for me to opne up and allow myself to get close to people because I’m afraid when they get to know me they’ll see how messed up I am.
And it’s a shame that I feel that way because I know I’m an awesome person and I’m super fun to be around. I just have so many issues, I’ve convinced myself that I shouldn’t invite others to hang out with me in my mess.
But I started working in August. I was at home with my kids for over a year with no car no job. Just me and the kids every day.
So working and being around people is really great!!
I’ve been doing my best to be friendly and by now I have a few good friends here at work.

I joined the Society of Physics Students organization at my university. I think that this a big step towards making new friends, especially since this will link me to people with in the field that I am studying. I have been too busy to really get in there and attend the meetings, but next semester I am scheduling my classes so that I can participate in this group more.

So far thourought life, I have had many friends. I grew apart from my friends that I had in my childhood. Then the friends I had as a young adult were all drug users, some are in prison, jail, or M.I.A. The others are where I used to live and we have become indifferent. After living in Cleveland for 2 years I made one good friend and then she moved to New York. One and a half years later, I am in school, I have made some friends here but no one I can hang out with since most of them live quite a distance away from me and we have a significant age gap between us. I get lonely and I just want some one to hang out with, but I am finding it hard to find a friend. I will not give up, though I am getting discouraged.

Having moved around pretty much my entire live i’ve never really been able to make or keep friends when I do make them. The internet has allowed me to make 1 or 2 friends but it’s not the same as a friend you can talk to in person. I want to Make Friends in real life sure I can chat with them online but I also want to go shopping with them, or see a movie, go out to eat, etc. I might seem a little picky but I’m sure a lot of you feel the same way
