Is it hard to make British friends

depends on who you choose

just don't trust anyone

If I were to not trust anyone , how would I make friends lol ???

Coming from America I think you'll find people can be more private and spend a lot of time indoors. But that depends where, if you're moving to a big nightlife city the clubs/bars are a good way to meet people.

For me personally, I feel like I need something that brings me and another person together in a friendship like e.g. siting together in class, at lunch, having the opportunity to talk that way. I'd find it strange if a stranger just walked over to me and tried to make plans with me before having that natural meeting situation first!

you don't , that's my point

What’s so bad about making friends? Obviously you do not trust every person that comes into your sight but over time..

I totally understand that, some people are like that over here too. So if you’re new do you just go introduce yourself to people in your class, wouldn’t that also be weird ? Over time wouldn’t you naturally just become acquainted with certain people?

Don’t listen to ray shadow their just winding you up. Yes socialising in the UK revolves a lot around the bar/ nightlife aspect. Speaking as someone from the UK I get very lonely sometimes. But all I do is stay in an smoke pot. Go out socialise, join a club. Volunteer a few hours a week if you want. People will always be happy to help you. People from the north are generally “nicer” than people from the south so keep that in mind.

when you make friends , you also make the opportunity for them to stab you in the back :/

Yeah that’s the same here or in any country but what would make your friend want to stab you in the back..

It would definitely be good to introduce yourself! Especially if it's a class of people all new to each other, they'll appreciate that. British Universities are usually very multicultural and will have lots of different people. Also check out uni societies!

Students love a party too, invite some classmates over for a drink at your flat/a bar/pub crawl event.

their own agenda
they were just using you
they don't actually like you (they're fake)
They want to humiliate you

just a few examples

Own agenda?
Using me for what ?
Well if they don’t like someone or want to humiliate them what’s the point in trying to be friends with that certain person😬😂
