    doing better than me...it has always been zero for me.
    Are you going into college? Uni? Because if you are, then consider it a brand new start - go that one step further in meeting new people and find out your similarities e.g. reading, swimming. It'll be a lot of fun, as long as you don't overthink it, because it should just come naturally .

    Just go and talk to people.
    tried that...people usually brush me off as other...or the people who i like do not like me...or they are not interested in expanding their circle of friends.

    how the fack are people acting like they're 40 at 20...don't people change.

    It helps if people have noticed you before by for example, getting noticed in school for talking a lot in class or whatever.

    Log off. Close down your computer. Get some sleep. Get up tomorrow morning and meet actual people. :confused:

    Or if you want a friend that won't let you down and disappoint you, it's just trial and error unfortunately...
    Tried it with uni

    went disastrously.

    i don't need a best friend..all i need is a reliable person that i actually click with and don't forget me after i leave the institution where we went.
    I can't help you with that I'm afraid, I've lost all my friends when I left school :getmecoat: #foreveralone but I do think one of the reasons for this is because I went to a crappy school and there isn't much I can get out from knowing these people, when I arrive at uni I plan to make new friends! :wizard:

    By not thinking about it... also self-confidence isn't a bad shout.
