I need some genuine friends please.

[Hershey's Kisses]

I need it. I need some friends. After having no friends basically my whole life, I finally started to make friends this year. Too bad they talked about me behind my back like i was garbage, repeatedly lied to me, ignored and humilated me daily. I don't knwo what to do... I mean it' snot like I'm not trying. I have since like 2nd grade when I had no one at all.. I'm so shy and quiet. And please don't say "so don't be shy" because I've been trying not to be shy for my whole life and it's not going to help now.

I just need someone to call a friend . Not some fake idiot. I mean I did all of the things the "How to make friends" books said to do. I joined clubs. i started dancing. But it is so hard for me. :( I'm going to this ballet campo this week and I'm scared that people are going to humilate and degrade me like they did the last time. Helpful advice needed please.

If you have any interests joining a club with people who share that interest is a easy great way to open up... probably people opening up to you too!

Try not to be so hard about it. I'm a quiet guy as well. But I think the difference between us is that I have more confidence in myself. If people don't want to talk, that's their problem. Fuck them. You don't have to put yourself to another persons level to make friends. Also trust me on this and I'm sure almost anyone would agree with me, not everyone in the world is trustworthy and/or worthy of being friends with. I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the so-called "friends" AKA the ass wipes who talked behind your back.

If your gonna make friends, it's best to meet people with the same interests. What are your interests? Do you like to paint, draw, play an instrument, dance, write stories, cook?
