new school, can't make friends

[green]

so i started college this year (yr 11 and twelve is college where i live) and I'm finding it hard to find people to talk to. Most of the people already know each other from other schools and all have groups they talk to. Some people from my old school are going to the same college, but they aren't really people i like and want to talk to. How can i start to make some friends?

just go talk to anyone you think is friendly and in a short i guess you will get along and they will introduce you to their group hence having more friends

Is there some kind of club or whatever you can join?

Try to find people who have the same interests of yours first. Even though most of them already have their group of friends, it doesn't mean there's not space for one more person. If you all have similar interests, same mind-set, and enjoy being with each other, then you should try to approach them, start a conversation and things will develop from there.

I changed schools. Some of the guys were kinda awkward to me, so I started hanging out with the girls which is not usual for me to do. Still, I made some friends. Both male and female.

Find activities and things that interest you, you'll find some good friends and with common interests.

[AlexOnToast]

Just find out who has similar interests with you. Chances are most people would be willing to befriend anyone who shares an interest in something

Join some clubs!! It's what helped me
And get active in those clubs. If you try becoming an officer in one you'll probably become friends with the other officers and maybe more of the members

Find people that are alone. Talk to them.

I ahd the same problem when I moved to Holland. Sadly I was unable to fix it til this nice girl named M. came to sit next to me and be friends. I suppose you gotta try to fit in-gl.

Making friends can be tough, but you just have to put yourself in situations where you are able to make them. Search and see if there are any clubs or activities that are of some interest to you. If there are, join them. Being active within clubs, you're bound to meet some new people.

Also, often teachers/professors will put people into groups or partners for assignments. Being in college, I've had at least 1 group/partner assignment almost every single class I've had. That is always a good way to meet people and gain friends.

Again, you just have to put yourself into social situations and it will happen.

Mount the lead jock as a display of your dominance over the school. That'll show em! :D

Everyone thought i was the crazy chic -.- oh well i just ignored everyone left school and started work ^-^ so i have no tips xD

I know how you feel! I also felt like that when I first joined my orchestra. Well, I didn't really talk much because everyone looked a bit scary and then I got labelled as "That violinist that never talks" . It was horrible, okay? But then there was a big concert and I began socializing a bit with all the "Can you help with this?" or "The conductor's baton is missing, everyone look for it!" and ticket selling stuff, and I began to be less intimidated by everyone there. I used to have to lie to my mom that "Orchestra was fun today we were talking about Mozart and Clementi" or "Orchestra was fun today we were all laughing about Mozart's nose and piano" or something like that. I guess I've leveled up a bit since I first arrived, also since I became a first violin then I've made some friends with some seniors when they were teaching me the "art of the first violin".

My advice for you: try joining a club or so and try to stand out there. Don't make the same mistake as me or it will be the hard route. Good luck! ^^

Oh, that must be difficult. Try and find someone who is in your situation and try and get to know them
