trying to be social

[crepesuzette]

Look i try to be social, but others never come to me when i want them to. it's so ridiculous and i don't see why other see me as the menace of society. (by the way, when someone was joking with me, she called me that, but I've forgiven them). of course, i'm not the nicest person in the world and mean things may occasionally emerge from my mouth but still i'm not the worst or the best and i think that others should just not avoid me and let me shine the light in them. what's wrong with me?

It sounds like you need to filter what you say a little bit. On the occasion that you get into a convorsation, with someone, you need to watch what you say so that you don't offend them. You should also try to be more outgoing. Walk up to a kid and randomly ask if they want to hang out some time. The worst they can do is say no.

^I agree.

Being friendly is key to making friends. If you're nice and friendly, people are more inclined to like you and want to spend more time with you. If you've got something mean to say, just try keeping it to yourself. :)

And you need to be somewhat proactive with socialising. You're not going to form any new friendships if you're not letting people know that you want to be their friend. Walk up to a person, and start a conversation about the weather, make a joke, compliment them, ask them what they like etc.

It sounds like he's already doing that. Nobody is perfect. You two make the OP sound like he's this terribly mean person who's a jerk to everyone, and if you read his post that's obviously not the case.

i agree..

yeah but i don't think that it's my fault entirely. i mean, occasionally, we make fun of each other which all kids do and i don't see why they take it so personally while others just shrug it off.

Hey, i dont really hang around with alot of people and im not very social at all, i mostly can't keep conversations going and can't get new friends however your problem has a solution witch is mainly just watch what you say and try ask a kid to hang out with, i my self keep away from majority of people in my year group as most of the people are very misbehaved and i dont want to be friends with people like that as i dont want to be encouraged to change my attitude. Have you thought of trying some clubs?

(Did i get the right meaning of social?)

Skype me sometime, will talk about anything.
