How can i make new friends?

17 Comments

Hi, I've been home schooled for a bit now, and I'm getting pretty lonely.. All my old friends from school have new friends that go to their school, and don't hang out with me. I really need some friends.. It turned into depression, plus my mom keeps bugging me about it. Some advice would be nice. I know some of you might say "go to school," but I have a sleeping problem and I'm trying to work on it.

Where can I get friends, besides school? Thank you for your time.

I know how you feel. 41
I'm also home schooled. 4
I'll give you some advice in the comment section. 10

    Part time job or do a hobby that involves group interaction, maybe a club at your old school so even if you don't go there you can mingle with people from there.

    There must be clubs and societies in your area - Scouts, Judo club, etc.

    Wow, I went through the exact same thing. I really don't like going out a lot, but I needed some friends so I started going to a bunch of places either alone or with my sister. I also started volunteering a lot, like in animal shelters and a suicide hotline. Just get yourself out there and be friendly. That's the only way you can meet people.

    Join a club somewhere, or summer camp, anything where there are other people involved. Also try reconnecting with people over FB or something. Good luck.

    in my opinion the best way to help you feel that you are not alone is to have job to do and to have a person to love and the last is to have a dream to persue.
    hope you are doing great

    Get a Dog. You'll meet new people when taking it for walks.

    I'm sure you have hobbies and interests. Find groups or events in your area that have to do with your interests and attend them. You'll meet people with similar interests, and possibly make friends. But another word of advice: even when meeting and talking to random people, try to find one thing in common with them. It might be the first link to a new friendship.

    You can make friends several different ways, you can try joining clubs, get a part time job, go to places such as parks, pools, movies, etc. and just approach new people. You can even talk to people on social networking sites. Be friendly. You can make a lot of new friends by being friendly and just going for it(:

    Didnt read the other comments, but my advise is to hang around people that could potentially be friends. Easiest way is to join recreational sports teams. Also, learning how to play an instrument always helps along with dancing at clubs/parties. But definitely learn guitar if youre a guy.

    Just talk to more people, be friendly. Try using internet sites. Post ads looking for friends. Talk to random people.

    If you can't find a friend, make one.

      Friends=fun. Friends=memories. Friends=sanity. Whoever you are, I recommend you get at least one good friend.

        Fun without friends - check. Memories without friends - check. Sanity without friends - well...
