How do i get friends?

[benbenthegamerman]

I am depressed. No one at my new school wants to talk to me, and nobody responds when i try to strike up a conversation. It is not like i had any friends before going to my school, but i hoped to turn over a new leaf at the beginning of high school. Since that has gone to shit, how am i going to manage making friends ever?

 

[El Poncho]

Join clubs at the school or something.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Talk to people.

 

[Stormz]

I'm actually in the same situation, I know how you feel. Maybe join a club or sport? That's what I'm thinking of doing.

Talk to people.

Nobody talks back to me.

 

[Furious Styles]

I don't know, its a knack people have. i have friends but don't know how I got them. i guess it just happens naturally.

Just seek out people you feel you may have an affinity with, don't just chat away to anyone.

I don't know what interests them, seeing as how they won't talk to me.

You can't get friends unless you try. Maybe they won't talk to you because you act to depressing believe me ive been there atleast fake a smile or to and maybe they'll care

Im not trying to depress other people, im just keeping to myself until i muster up enough courage do be fucking denied again. All people in high schools are fucking twats and i hope they get what is fucking coming to them.

Don't be an idiot.

Worked for me.

 

[Anstrup]

What interests besides gaming? Any hobbies? Find some place where you can do that along with somebody, and take it from there.

 

[SnipErlite]

CLUBS.

Seriously, clubs and sports and stuff like that. Seeing a group of people on a regular basis always guarantees some semblance of conversation eventually.

Then after a few conversations start up, someone'll invite you along to some event they talk about/plan at said club or sport.

And think positive!

Sounds like bs but having a decent mindset can help. Sooner or later you will find someone you really just click with. You'll talk like twice and then suddenly you're friends with them. Trust me, it does happen.

This exact same ting happened to me when I went to secondary school I had a couple of friends but we didn't really like each other, I just didn't have anyone else to hang out with anyway I was lonely for about a month but when I joined the school musical one of these people introduced me to this other person and then we became best friends, he also had this other friend and we became friends too and just a year ago there was someone new in the class who also became friends with me so now I have three very good friends and I only hate a couple of people so I hope this helped somehow, I guess you should join the school musical or some other club.

Chloroform, duct tape, and a cellar.
That's how you get friends.

Serious answer, stop whining, and be fun. Nobody likes a sob story. So really, the best way to get friends, is by getting over being depressed you have no friends, then, meet people.

I wish I could say I empathize, but I just started talking to people and well... I have friends

I see you like spoony. Perhaps if you overhear someone say something like one of his lines or running jokes, say that you like him too. Build from there.

Also, be yourself, be confident. You make friends slowly but surely. Find people that stray from the pack, they are your best bet. Don't feel like you need to buy in to make friends. Don't be something your not. You like sports? Try out for sports. You hate sports but like to...I dunno make movies? Then join or make a club for movie fans. Make yourself known for being you not as that guy that had that one thing. I admit, i'm not mister popular, but I got good friends and generally people don't dislike me. Why? I try to be respectful and kind and listen.

Hell, to be honest. My first real friend at High School I saw had a warhammer 40k book sticking out of his backpack. I asked about it, talked to him more and more, sat with him at lunch. Someone else overheard us talking about 40k, asked to sit with us and so on. It's just a process dude.

Thanks for reminding me how much of a fucking failure at life i am.
