Well just friends period. I have 2 friends and they're girls and even they don't like me enough to hang out with me.

Anyway, I'm switching schools to a charter school that should only include people with at least some of the same interests as me. It's known around here as the horse school for anyone that wants to grow up doing anything involving horses. But it's a lot more than that.

Anyway, as stated in previous posts I've never really had enough friends to comprehend and execute proper actions(I know there's a better word for this) and manners around friends. I understand what people are doing when I see them hanging out or something, but for some reason as soon as someone talks to me I look like a retarded potato and don't know what to say or do.

Where do I start when I go back to school?

You've literally just got to be yourself, if you make yourself into something you're not then you're friends won't be your real friends and the minute you let your facade slip they'll realise.

Just be nice, be approachable, start the conversation first, make an effort to include people.

People always say "oh i have no friends" and then 5 seconds later "i have like only 6 friends and only hang out once a week"

I have no friends, and the last time I've hung out with anyone was several years ago. Basically I've been either somewhere with my annoying family or sleeping in my room the whole time. I'm not just one of those kids whining about how they don't have as many friends as a normal kid, I have none.

Chances are you will not be the only new kid. Find the other new kids find common interests and talk. Eventually you will be webbed into the social group and make lots of friends
