Hard to make friends

[Becauseyou'recutecx]

Like the title says it's really hard for me to make friends. At my old school all the people were rednecks which is the complete opposite of me so I only had two friends but this year I moved to a new school and I alr
eady do have some people that I sit with at lunch and talk to and they have a group of people I'd be friends with since they seem cool, nice, and funny. My problem is that I just feel awkward around people I don't know well and I feel like I'm boring and no one listens when I talk and that I'm the friend that they only tolerate but don't really like so it's hard for me to talk to them because I don't want to annoy them but at the same time I can't just sit there silent because then I'll never make any friends. So any advice on how to stop feeling awkward and start conversation etc?

I think it's a thing that comes with time of being around certain people. As time goes by you'll end up feeling more comfortable and you'll be able to feel like you're truly a part. Maybe try speaking to one specific person more often, sometimes it's nice to have a specifically closer friend amongst others.

You don't have to everything in common to be friends.

If i knew a way to avoid that, i´d surely tell you, because i suffer from that myself...

I think the key point is having confidence in yourself. Unless you stop thinking you're a boring, unwanted and annoying presence, you would never be comfortable around those people. You need to just be yourself. There's no need to be the coolest person, crack the best jokes. Speak when you want to speak, laugh when you wish to. As far as I've seen, the more natural you are, the more you're at ease and the easier it is for people to mix with you.
