So where exactly are آپ supposed to meet these great new pals? Sitting in your room isn't going to make it happen! Start سے طرف کی getting involved in the activities and interest آپ already love whether it's an online Winx پرستار club یا a local والی بال league. Being the new kid in the group will feel weird at first, but remember, you're all there because آپ share the same interests. What could be a better ice breaker? If آپ think you're already way involved and still aren't connecting with people, it might be time to step back and re-evaluate how آپ act around others. Don't be too haughty یا condescending. It is far مزید important to be nice than be interesting. Instead of heading straight ہوم after a game, grab a پیزا with the team. The مزید time آپ invest in getting to know others, the easier it is for them to see آپ as an A-list friend.
PS: آپ need not dress up in dandy clothes یا wear loud make up to attract people. مزید than artificial make up, simplicity attracts people. Smile often, make eye contact, don't look too tensed and listen to what others have to say!
Form a Study Group
Does your math teacher give super-hard exams? Is your history teacher always giving pop quizzes? Round up a few others from your class to study together each week. Ask your teacher if آپ could pass around a sign-up sheet یا make an announcement about the group after class.
Detach Yourself From Technology. Temporarily!
Put away your cell phone from time to time and take a look around. Who seems funny یا interesting? Which people in the room have آپ never talked to? Who pays attention to your ideas? Make a mental note and spend a little time getting to know these people face-to-face. When your group gets together, share notes and chat about class. Find out what your classmates like about the teacher and what they can't stand. Make flash cards together یا کوئز one another. Bring snacks and share what's going on in your life. You'll have new دوستوں before آپ know it.
Slow...
Say you're seriously crushing on a guy, would آپ run up to him and announce آپ two are now a couple and you're now going to spend every single دن together? Um, not unless آپ want him to run in the other direction. The same goes for making friends: آپ want to take things slowly at first. Wait until آپ feel comfortable talking to each other during band practice یا on the walk ہوم from the لائبریری before آپ suggest getting together. Skip high-pressure یا potentially awkward situations, like your grandpa's 85th birthday bash.
Opt for something casual: "So, have آپ seen that new movie? I thought it'd be fun to get a bunch of people together to go." Will it be totally nerve-wracking to make the first move? Probably but it'll have been مزید than worth it once the ice is broken and you're out having fun with your new friends.
And then? Don't sit back, relax and expect lasting friendships to occur. It requires communication from both sides. Therefore, call up people آپ have just met, میل ای old دوستوں who have moved away, drop in occasional sms just to say 'hi'.
Old یا new... Last but not the least - don't forget old friends. If they have moved away یا if آپ have moved away, be in touch with occasional phone calls and emails. Don't leave old دوستوں for the sake of new ones.
