fear

[EmilySmith]

I'm the only one who's afraid of making new friends? Like… I want to communicate with people, some I really like, but when they know me a little bit better, they all start to… change there actions… I'm really upset for that… and already afraid of making new friends :/

It sounds like you're just shy. Try talking to them like you've known them forever. If they think you're afraid or nervous it may scare them away or they might thing you're strange.

OMG I have the exact same problem as you. We're pretty much in the same boat and I can totally relate to how you're feeling.

When I first started high school I was so excited because I thought I would finally make a lot of new friends. Turns out that maybe I would talk to them on the first few days and then realize they have other friends and I don't fit in at all with them and we become distant. We may still say hi to each other in the halls or whatever but I wouldn't exactly consider them to be a "friend".

I think we have the same problem which is that we are not "open" enough to other people and its almost like we push them away even when we don't intend to. It's really hard for me too because I have a lot of trouble making friends IRL and I probably only have like 5 friends at school :/

Feel free to talk to me though I'm always here and I would love to make new friends because it's already hard for me IRL. I can't send pms yet though because I have less than 100 post count but feel free to talk to me here about anything <3

That's so nice of you ^_^ Sadly I can't send private messages either :/and I don't come often.

Part of being shy is believing if people get to know you they won't like you. Give them a chance, some will and some won't, you can't help that. Make it okay with yourself that someone won't like you and you'll find that you can relate to people in all degrees of closeness.
