ever since i was in gradeschool i have been having trouble in making friends. I always have the fear of rejection. When i get to have some friends, I cannot make new friends anymore. I am afraid of people. I am an anti-social. I prefer staying at home rather thatn going out to meet new people. How do i gain new friends?

YOu dont really have to put much pressure on your self to gain more friends. I believe you already have good friends around you. Id say you should focus on them first. After that you can meet new ones thru your close friends. One thing that works for me why i have lots pf friends is that i LOVE to SMILE a lot. Smiling makes you look more friendly and approachable. Increasing the chance that youll get to know more people and having more friends. Try it and youll never ever have to think of gaining more friends because they will just naturally come. Hope this helps. Goodluck!
