I have no Friends

Plz keep anon or delete I feel so depresed atm :frown:

Basically i have no friends atall. I had some in Primary School,but lost contact with them.
In Senior School didn't make a single friend, and i have no outside school friends :frown:

I have social anxiety & panic being with a group of people. (Also have a fear of talking on the Phone)

I'm desperate to make a friend, but dunno how to. :s-smilie:

Has anyone got any advice on makig friends plz :redface:

i also look way younger than my age,so that makes me even more shy.

How old are you?

I know it's hard but why don't you just try talking to someone? It can be someone you know who you have contact with regurlarly. Just try talking to them when it's just you two (seeing as you get anxious around groups), ask how they are, what they get up too, ask if they've seen any new movies or whatnot.

I knwo it's hard but if you can get the courage to talk to one person, you'll be able to talk to lots!

If you start feeling panicky take deep breaths and keep trying. If it gets too much, excuse yourself as politely as possible and leave and try again.4

It's probably not good advice but it's all i have sorry!

and as for looking young...lucky you :p:

there's nothing you can do about it. Maybe trying dressing a bit stylishly? (again dunno about this)

Don't worry :hugs:

Are you a male or a female? How old are you? Are you in school or uni or at work or doing what?

are you good at any sports or play an instrument? if so you could join a sports team or a band. you'd make a few friends that way.

it'd help us more to give you more ideas if you told us how old you are and whether you're in school/6th form/college/uni or work.

Practice talking to people on IM.
You might find it easier because theres less pressure.

Go for the internet! PM people on here to say hi and have a chat (even me if you like! :p:

) or join a forum for something you're interested in, or a fan forum for a celeb, and talk to people on there. You might even find someone local on there you can meet up with :biggrin:

If people from your school use myspace or bebo or something, maybe you could make an account and leave messages and chat a bit? You might get to know them a bit better that way?

You need to talk to someone. Try it, make conversation with people and before you know it, they're your friend!

You need to try and build up some confidence.

I'm scared of talking on the phone as well. But the internet is a great way to make friends, I agree. PM me if you like :smile:

maybe if you get a job working in a shop - maybe just a few hours on a saturday if you don't want to do full time, and you'll meet loads of work friends. or maybe take an evening course in a college in something you enjoy (it doesn't even have to be something academic), and you'll, again, meet loads of people.
