How to cope with having no friend?

BlueMeanie

I feel really lonely. I’d like to have friends it’s just that I am really shy and anxious.

You mean hanging out everyday sort of friends?

Maybe people who surround you just aren't right for you? and you should look for a new social circle?

Or you just do not do anything to make friends.

Do you have and hobbies or interests? If so, try and invest more time in those activities. If you are at uni, join some societies that relate to your interests. I'm very shy too but I find socialising a lot easier if I have something in common with someone.Try and do things you enjoy and embrace your own company maybe it'll help with your confidence and you'll eventually meet like-minded people.

Be your own friend.
I have me, myself and I. I hate me, myself is selfish, me is tired :rofl:

A beautiful trio we are :yep:

Only kidding on the last bit.

This might seem like some dumb advice but get high it will make you forget all your problems.

Focus on your own self-development. Is there any hobbies you have been wanting to try out but never got round to doing? Doing new activities will allow you to meet other people with similar interests to you. Have you tried talking to colleagues/classmates? Maybe smile more? Smiling makes people more likely to talk to you.
