There are many people out there for everybody, just follow your interests and surround yourself with good people. I found a bundle of good friends at Andy Man's Club because I found strength in talking about mental health issues with other people. Try to take out the negative people and search for good people because they are out there. For instance, I'm a really nice person, but it's hard to trust people on the internet and therefore they like to keep themselves to themselves. I don't mind if people don't want to be my friend because I understand we're all different and have different expectations and requirements, but I think if you really want friends you need to go for it and put yourself out there. Find opportunities to make new friends and try to be the best you you can be.

You don't have to go wild. You can start slowly and work your way up- ask coworkers, people at Uni, etc, how they are. Comments on the weather, plans. Once you've build up a rapport, it's a lot easier to talk to people for longer periods of time. Remember the little things - ask the coworker who likes cruises how her trip to Scandinavia was, for example.

Shared common experiences being people together even if you don't talk to a specific person/group a lot. (EG a shared hate of working in customer service)

If you're nice to someone, sure, they aren't always gonna be 100% nice all the time, but you need to put into the effort to get positive results.

Hope this helps :smile:
