How do you make friends?

Post Reply New Topic

I make friends by carving them out of sides of beef and stapling them together

In all seriousness... joining a club which deals with something you like doing is probably a good idea. Finding people with a common interest is a great start, also. I joined a role-playing group last year, for instance, and I now have a regular social event to base my week around, as well as some friendly acquaintances to hang out with (although, as others have said, they seem to have befriended me, rather than me befriending them).

I wait until someone talks to me, because I don't know how to begin a conversation.

My school notebooks and folders have pictures of anime, videogames and samurais; sometimes I play with portable videogames and read comics, manga and magazines at school, on the bus, and other public places. I have discovered this helps me to begin a conversation without say any word. How? When anime/videogame fans see them, they can talk to you and ask you "Do you like Final Fantasy series?", for example, you respond "Yes", he/she says "I own Final Fantasy I to X, what FF is your favorite?", . . . and you are talking to someone!

its all about location too
if your into jazz or goth or whatever you need to find the places these people congregate and then don your best band shirt compliment and be complimented

also if you listen to emo or goth music the girls go crazy for the misanthropic disturbed musician so even if your not good at an instrument they'll still be enamored with you
i wouldnt expect anything more than a physical relationship from these women though

Making friends is hard for me, as I don't go to school.

My only friend was not a gamer when I talk to her. She became interested in me because I was uncommon and weird, she made me a lot of questions, about me and my interests. We finished as friends, and now she likes some videogames!

Haha, that's cool Saxen!

I think you got to [to the person you want to be your friend]:

- Talk a lot; I’m unsure if it matters what you say, rather how you say it
- Lie a lot; never speak the complete and beautiful truth, no one can handle it and they think it’s ugly
- Wear a mirror on your face; people don't want to know you, they want to know themselves but they don't know where to really look
- Don't be too nice or too much of a jerk; there's this weird balance where you’re supposed to throw abuse at someone [on a subject that you’re completely ignorant to] then immediately compliment them [on the most superficial subject that you know a great deal about] in your next paragraph
- Don't show original thought that deviates from the group; you'll be labelled "different", and not many people like different...
- Talk; no seriously, you actually have to talk to people for them to be your friend...yeah it's illogical, but them's the breaks
- Moral and selfless actions mean bugger all compared to selfish and meaningless words
- Innate eye contact and body language will beat a self-induced broken wrist due to re-writing every book from Babylon; every freaking time

I’m think I'm missing many….

That's good, Danielismyname. Too bad I can't find someone to talk to try that on. XD
