Need to get out and meet people!

So I feel like I'm stuck in a loop, I always hang out witht he same people who are good friends but they never want to get out and meet new people and try new things. I want to make more friends and go out more but I don't know where to start with out having people to go with...

Any one elss ever feel this way? What did you do?

 

Moved back to Philadlephia :tongue:

Just go man! Go walk around your city, go to some chill restaurants, see some local bands, go to art museums, college parties

 

if you have "good" friends then why do u need to find more?

imo it's way better to have a tight group of like 5-6 people then have a tonne of friends, thats when ppl talk behind your back, arent legit, etc.

for me it pretty much comes down to "friends" and aqauintances

 

for me, i meet a lot of people at festies, concerts, and hiking trails. most i don't keep in contact with, but it is nice to have a new friend for a few hours, a day, or a weekend.

IMO everywhere you go you should try to meet one new person. i do.

spread the love. it makes the world a happier place.

keep your old friends, because they make a strong base, then add upon that base as you feel necessary.

 

To the coffeehouse! It's a classic social and intellectual meeting place, and what better way to meet a girl is there than spittingoutwordsamileaminute and bouncing out of your seat from caffeine?

 

Really good advice. And some of my best friends now were people who came up to me offering the hand of friendship.

 

go to the beach! o wait your in michigan, nevermind

 

jus gotta put yourself out there. Go by yourself. You cant let not having others with you dictate what you do yourself. No shame in doing stuff alone sometimes..much better that way anyhows sometimes. Ya dont have to worry about anyone hindering you and you can come and go as you please w.o any interference.

 

Old lady talking here. Volunteer. There are a lot of people at the humane society or work for the environment. You'd be surprised how quick you get to know people when you are working for a common cause.

 

Good advice! It's my most favoritist city eva!

 

Hahahaha.

 

i would go to philly if they didnt shut down love park to skateboarders

 

lol all I EVER heard in my middle/high school in philly were kids complaining about skateboarding laws. It pissed me off cause they didn't do anything about it, just complained and did w/e they felt like anyway. Though they should be allowed and skatboarding is pretty sweet.

 

yeah, mayor street was a total bitch about skating in love....

even after dc shoes offered 1 million dollars for security and upkeep.

 

Yea, I do that to. Right now there arn't many people that im really really close friends with or that I can hang out with all the time, so I just hang out with all kinds of different people.

 

i always had the same group of close friends growing up, and i wouldn't leave them for anything
but i had the same problem as you, wanting to go out and meet new people

when i went to college i went out all the time and went to a bunch of social events and shit
and i made a lot more friends and new people, plus i still have my old ones

 

Thanks for the ideas, my real problem is paranoia, and all around poor social skills. Every time I go out I try starting a conversation fail to hold the persons interest(or get odd looks) fell let down and thats that, can't work up the courage to try again. I know I need to to change anything but the felling is impossible to describe, I dread it.

 

im socially retarded too. i would go with the volunteer idea. that's how i would go about it cuz im into that kinda stuff. i guess where you go should depend on what you are into. play sports? have hobbies? join a local club.

 

i have very poor social skills too,
i used to even hate going to work cause it was hard for me to talk to people
i'm a very shy person.. i was always afraid of talking to people cause i could never hold conversations..

you'll get over it though sooner or later,
i am still really shy, but i am learning and getting better at talking to people more and everything
just be confident and you'll be fine

 

just be out n about doin this doin that click with who ya click with walk way from those you dont stop where you confy & move on when you arent people are everywhere & u meet the strangest ppl in the strangest places,
every1 u will ever know is out there somewhere
i find some peopke u have these unfonfy momments with can be your best freinds &
others u clickwith instantly & just know you'll aalways know them..
but just hanging out everyday with the same guys limmits who u will ever know
by who u meet togrether or if u dont go out limmits u compltely
damn i cant go nowhere without meeting people or seeing ppl i know

best way to meet people? hey wanna smoke a joint
