So where exactly are 당신 supposed to meet these great new pals? Sitting in your room isn't going to make it happen! Start 의해 getting involved in the activities and interest 당신 already 사랑 whether it's an online Winx 팬 club 또는 a local 배구 league. Being the new kid in the group will feel weird at first, but remember, you're all there because 당신 share the same interests. What could be a better ice breaker? If 당신 think you're already way involved and still aren't connecting with people, it might be time to step back and re-evaluate how 당신 act around others. Don't be too haughty 또는 condescending. It is far 더 많이 important to be nice than be interesting. Instead of heading straight 집 after a game, grab a 피자 with the team. The 더 많이 time 당신 invest in getting to know others, the easier it is for them to see 당신 as an A-list friend.
PS: 당신 need not dress up in dandy clothes 또는 wear loud make up to attract people. 더 많이 than artificial make up, simplicity attracts people. Smile often, make eye contact, don't look too tensed and listen to what others have to say!
Form a Study Group
Does your math teacher give super-hard exams? Is your history teacher always giving pop quizzes? Round up a few others from your class to study together each week. Ask your teacher if 당신 could pass around a sign-up sheet 또는 make an announcement about the group after class.
Detach Yourself From Technology. Temporarily!
Put away your cell phone from time to time and take a look around. Who seems funny 또는 interesting? Which people in the room have 당신 never talked to? Who pays attention to your ideas? Make a mental note and spend a little time getting to know these people face-to-face. When your group gets together, share notes and chat about class. Find out what your classmates like about the teacher and what they can't stand. Make flash cards together 또는 퀴즈 one another. Bring snacks and share what's going on in your life. You'll have new 프렌즈 before 당신 know it.
Slow...
Say you're seriously crushing on a guy, would 당신 run up to him and announce 당신 two are now a couple and you're now going to spend every single 일 together? Um, not unless 당신 want him to run in the other direction. The same goes for making friends: 당신 want to take things slowly at first. Wait until 당신 feel comfortable talking to each other during band practice 또는 on the walk 집 from the 도서관, 라이브러리 before 당신 suggest getting together. Skip high-pressure 또는 potentially awkward situations, like your grandpa's 85th birthday bash.
Opt for something casual: "So, have 당신 seen that new movie? I thought it'd be fun to get a bunch of people together to go." Will it be totally nerve-wracking to make the first move? Probably but it'll have been 더 많이 than worth it once the ice is broken and you're out having fun with your new friends.
And then? Don't sit back, relax and expect lasting friendships to occur. It requires communication from both sides. Therefore, call up people 당신 have just met, 이메일 old 프렌즈 who have moved away, drop in occasional sms just to say 'hi'.
Old 또는 new... Last but not the least - don't forget old friends. If they have moved away 또는 if 당신 have moved away, be in touch with occasional phone calls and emails. Don't leave old 프렌즈 for the sake of new ones.
