Why can't I make friends?

Hello Akyu22 I was like you when I was young, I ver painfully shy so I know how it is, but I looked at your profile and you are 15, you are so young, you are at a very awkward stage, neither a child nor adult, you have have plenty of time to grow, you know the best way to make friends I believe is to become a listener and genuinely care about other people, be yourself but show peoiple you care, give yourself time to bloom it will happen....I wish you much happiness in life....

You are normal, otherwise you would't be concerned about not having enough friends...I don't know but people say that in order to look interesting, you have to appear interesting, and likewise to be interested in people. Try it. . maybe this will work wonders for you. So instead of trying hard to win friends, try just being a friend by listening to people and being interested in their concerns. Let's see if that will work well for you. You are still young, and holds a lot of promise of a bright future. I'm sure that by becoming concerned of other people, they will find you a real good friend, and you can start from there....would that help?

You are half my age and yes I was a shy person but also introvert. So in a way I don't like to be in the crowd and so my shyness kind of help me in that situation. I would say that go easy on yourself right now, be yourself, no matter how hard it is. You want to be popular, but if you force it, it's not gonna happen and people will think you are weird instead. I think it's better to be popular as the person you are, instead of popular in a different way which is what you are doing now. You don't feel normal because you don't accept yourself for who you are. Slow down a little bit and listen more than talk, the time will come that you accept yourself and that will be when others accept you. Good luck!

well I am not a social person either I have no friends other then friends when Im at work. I think some people just prefer to be alone ecspecially if you have been hurt alot before but not knowing if this is the case for you its hard to say.. I think one thing to work on is dont be so worried about it be yourself if people dont want you as a friend because you arent good enough to them trust me when I say you dont want them as friends as you will always try to be something you arent join clubs or sports of somehting your interested in you would be suprised just how many people at your school feel the same way. Also remember the friends you make now may not last now isnt the rest of your life be proud of who you are and find the friends who want to be your friend good luck I know how hard it is being alone at times..

First High School sucks for most people. Those you see who appear to always be at ease often have some of the same fears and uncertainty they just are better at masking it. Life does get better. Find a school club or activity that you are interested in. This will usually give you some social interaction with others that have similar interests and may help you bridge that wall of shyness. Or look at what other opportunities are open to teens in your community. Are you interested in a future in public safety, fire, police or medical? Many departments offer explorer programs that give you a taste of public service and leadership training. Learning some new skills may help take the focus off yourself. I'd like to recommend the book The Delicate Art of Dancing With Porcupines by Bob Phillips This book deals with the basic social styles. you sound like an amiable. Amiables usually get along with others well but desire or develop deeper relationships one on one. Extend your friendship to someone who needs a friend. Don't worry that you don't have a big circle of best friends. Understanding your own social style will help you in getting to know other people and understand why you might connect easily with some or only connect at a surface level. Normal is only a setting on the close dryer. If everyone was the same as everyone else there would be no need for so many of us. We are all meant to be different and you will find your niche in life. When you need a lift come back here and read some of the positive feedback or pm one or two people who's personality you like in their writing and make an e-pal you can share with.

It does not matter young man,things will get better as you grow.You are so young that most things do not like what your thought.I am 26 years old and I have only one firend but she is my true firend.That is enough ,because I can get all what others get from their friends.It need time for you to make a good friend,but don't worry.Do you know the girl is my NO.1 now.

Hey, don't get upset about it! .. You are so young. It's normal for your age to feel that way, awkward stage so to speak. I felt the same way too when i was your age. I was very sensitive, insecure in a lot of ways and that's normal. You are actually passing the teen stage Akyu. It will pass, i tell you. In the meantime, relax. Enjoy everything you've got. Be yourself. Be natural and act natural. You'll definitely able to make friends and i'm sure you have lots now. Goodluck. (",)

Try to relax, loosen up a bit, bring out your sense of humor. People love it when you can make them laugh. Just don't try too hard because it will become corny.
