How to make new friends
It made me
satisfied
 "I've been making good friends since I moved to Hawaii -- I had to, I guess, since I knew very few people here!"
How I did it: Just tried to make myself open to others, tried to show them the "real" me and not prejudge anyone. I've met people through making my move (the 2 girls I stayed with when I first got here), work (my new office mate and colleagues), and where I live (neighbors). I'm open to making more, though. Lessons & tips: Always be open.

It made me
Not so lonely!
How I did it: I have severe social anxiety disorder (SAD), so I find it hard to talk to people at the best of times and, because of a series of particularly rough times, I lost all the friends I had. I found that a great way to get up off the ground is to start by branching out online. Online friendships may seem fake to you, but if you suffer SAD you quickly realise that online friendships are invaluable when it comes to practise; it's easy to detach … Read how I did it…

How I did it: I started really getting to know the girls that I work with, and have found a few new close friends in that bunch. I'm still very close to my friends from college, but since I graduated back in '02, it was time for new "grown up" friends. I'm very happy to have people other than my boyfriend to confide in when I need to, and even happier to have people who trust me and treat me like a friend. Read how I did it…

Meet n Greet
10 hours ago
Tonight I went to dinner with a meet and greet group, something I always thought was abit strange but definitely very challenging for me. When I entered the restaurant I actually turned around to go back home and felt really silly, but then I remembered it took me almost an hour to get to the restaurant and find parking..so I turned back around and decided to get it over and done with..and it turned out to be a nice night, really glad I didn’t change my mind. There were 3 people I felt really clicked with and we planned to get together for lunch next week. It seems there are more people in the same shoes as me than I thought so it’s always nice to meet like minded people

where do i begin?
2 days ago
Since coming back from the UK I have found that most of my friends are married with kids..or are just too busy doing their own thing and I end up seeing them only once in a blue moon. My circle of friends has just gotten alot smaller.. I’m quite disappointed in myself for not being proactive in the past..I have had the same group of friends since high school&uni days and now I suddenly feel like I need to go out of my comfort zone and meet new people. But where do I even begin? I consider myself a very very shy person only opening up to people I have known for yeears..this goal is going to take a really long time. i go to church once in while and have met a few people so far, but would be nice to meet more

i used to think FINDING friends is lame. because i used to have lots of friends who ‘kept’ me happy, to party, to ‘think alike’. now that im older and my thinking has changed, i broke up with a lot of them. Some are bcos of going separate ways (but still keep in touch, just not many), some are bcos im so sick of theyre same old thinking that’s still childish even when theyre odler than me.
so now majority of my friends are my bf’s friends. fortunate enough that get along well with them. and i only have ONE best fren since 11 yrs old. shes awesome.
i learnt that i shouldnt be too picky on who to be friends with (hotties/cool people etc) and look at myself instead lol.
im hoping to find new friends doesnt matter if we dont click actually. doesnt matter from which country. to exchange ideas, and to help each other in any way like if she/he owns a business that links to mine (networking is important too), to be there when sum1’s down, etc.
altho i dont tink FINDING friends is lame anymore, i do think that i shoouldnt be desperate about it as it will make me look uhm weird. i rather enjoy life and meet them when i meet them.

My family and friends say that i’m shy, can be, i don’t deny. Yes, I’m not very talkative (is it right to say it here?) :) but i think this is not because of shyness. I’m just quiet and calm. When you don’t have commen points to talk about, how can you keep talking? This is why i look like shy (I think). So, I must tell you my interests, then you can decide to say me hello or not…
I read books about philosopy, history, politics, read novels and journels, play piano, play chess, like learning foreign languages, generally listen pop… I’m not handsome and athletic (these info is for those who look for models here). I watch tv very little, don’t do any sport. I have a few close friends, don’t many. More about me: http://erselerge.cwahi.net/ing/about_me.html
If it worths to know me for you, I appreciate it! Just call me, I’m erselerge on skype.
Day 1

Well, I don’t really know where to start about this. I feel like I’m on a mission to improve my life. I’ve made some changes due to life experences and now I feel like I have no friends. I run a pretty hectic life now, I’ve gone back to school and I really want to make some new friends that will represent the same direction I am now going in life. So I have come here to get motivation and meet people, and also get other peoples ideas and opinions of things. I decided if I want to get social with new people I have to go somewhere besides work and home so I am going to the YMCA today to see about a membership. Figure getting active and social would be a good way to start. Thanks for reading.
