How???

How do I make friends?

I mean.... I have been friendless for about all I can remember. I don't know why, but I just don't attract people. Okay, I dress weird, speak my opinion no matter the situation (if I feel like it), like history and languages,am shy and quiet, and have a pensive face.
So? How is it done?

 

The most important issue is be yourself. Find traits that both of you can relate to; share. It doesn't matter what is it. Trying starting mild conversations each day or every other day, as long as you give it a shot. Hmmm much like this site...

Don't stress it man. Be patient with yourself and others. Good luck dude.

 

Are you so sure that I'll come across people like me?

 

A few dude. Keep your spirits close to those who actually see and high above from those who mindlessly hurt you.

 

Move to Utah

 

Got to go dude. talk to you later. peace

 

that's a great user name, MormonLove.

 

I am in Utah... But I am a different kind of Mormon... It's sad that most Mormons don't see things so clearly, and think I am.. Nevermind, different topic.

 

Thanks..

oh, i didn't know you were actually mormon. that makes it kind of strange.

 

We are all weird in some way, truth is I have been looking for one person I can relate to my entire life almost. I had one friend I was on the same level and me and him parted ways at 11, that was due to school and what not.

I am exactly the same as you, I am awkward with people- although i'm sure no one on this site has noticed that

Either way, don't change who you are for anybody- just get out there and join clubs, classes, whatever, and meet strangers. I know others have said this but it's true to form.

I have a very small group of friends, and let me ensure it quality over quantity. If you find a friend and you connect, keep hold of them. They are all weird socially like I am, so I can safely assure you there's a friend for anyone somewhere.

Tip to the wiser though, the pensive thing. In all honestly, even if you don't mean it, try and look happier/approachable. Too many times in the past have I had people tell me I look like a misery or uncomfortable and thought I didn't like them, not the other way around.

After all, it is a lot harder to talk to someone who looks like they aren't after a conversation is it not? I find just looking more approachable helps, doesn't mean you have to change who you are with it though. Good luck on your friend hunts though!

 

How so...?

 

Thanks for taking your time for me. You help.

 

I don't know. "MormonLove" as a name amused me, but now that I know you're actually mormon I don't know what to think. maybe i thought it was sarcastic or something.

 

Well I understand you probably don't understand Mormonism, especially to the level I look at it, which is combining a few religions/philosophies...
It's totally okay that you don't understand it...

when i think of mormonlove i think of polygamy.

 

Haha... That's wonderful. (We don't practice polygamy anymore... Not that I have an issue with it, as long as women can have multiple husbands, too! Aha. Though most Mormons are totally against polygamy.)

 

I can understand your difficulty in making friends. most of my friends and acquaintances are through playing basketball.

But of course the opposite sex is a completely different story as I’m sure it is for you; I feel confident enough that when I enter a room I can exit with whatever woman I want.
