Why don't you try to go out and start making friends. Be optimistic that you will find a circles of peer which will become your real friends . Be less shy and go out from your shell.

All I feel I can suggest is just getting yourself out there and talking to more people - rather than at school.

Are there any events or activities taking place anywhere local? I'm sure that'd be a great place to find some new people who aren't in their little groups like at school.

Another thing - I wouldn't take people like the ones you mentioned seriously, most 'friends' just turn into bitter disappointments.

Good luck, and if it works I'm sure you'll gain some self-confidence along with some buddies.

Ahh it seems someone beat me to it,

Do you do any sports or outside activities? I found that to be one of the best ways to meet new people and make good friends. For example I joined a rifle club a few years back, now after all this time I have gotten to know people all around the country competing and have new goals for myself as a result of going somewhere in the sport. Never imagined I would in the first place.


The people you meet in clubs etc can be amazing, I've met many who are generally out there to be good blokes/gals who just want to be friendly and/or help out.


Happiest part of my week is going to training at my club.


If you try this out, then good luck
