How can i meet people?

im incredibly shy and always have been... all my friends and all the people i used to be friends with have groups of friends.. or at least a few people they can call up and do stuff.. i have probably one friend i can sometimes call up and like two i can hangout with once in a blue moon, how can i meet other people... keeping in mind im a senior in highschool. and am not very talkative.. everyone already has their "groups" i just want a few people i can count on.. how do i get them?

How can i meet people?
I am very similar. I used to move around a lot and I'm always shy at first, so it's really hard to make friends when you're quiet, and on top of that, everyone already has their "clique."


-Maybe you can hang out with your one friend and ask him or her to bring some of their friends along. Maybe you will get along with them.


-You could always join a group at school and meet people who have the same interests as you. (I personally hated joining groups and sports but alot of people love it!)


-Another thing you can do is get a job where you know a lot of people your age work there. A lot of people meet their best friends at their job.


Let me know how it works out!


Good Luck.
Reply:get involved with clubs, or special interest groups of things you like. You can even do this online, but in person is the best way to practice. High school is crappy with the whole "clique" thing, i've been there. You'll see that at every high school. College will be much better, trust me and you'll meet better people.
Reply:Finding a reliable group of friends is the real trick in life, especially when you're a teenager and you can be shy and awkward.





Just try to fight your shyness by getting out and meeting as many people as you can.





If you're lucky, you'll find some decent people to hang around with. If not, just rely on yourself and get on with your life. Best of luck!

Reply:Your friends friends...just see if there are any you "click" with.
Reply:go to www.MeetUp.com You'll find group that share the same interest as you. Just type in your zip code and what you're into. Good Luck!
Reply:Firstly join every group you can. Peoples favorite subject is themselves. So you don't haveto good at talking but listening is a dying art. So ask people who you meet open ended questions and then shut up and listen.





Guys love this!
Reply:omg its the exact same with me. I only have like 4 friends, and 1 that i call like every day. We barely hang out. They know alot more people too. Oh and im also a senior in high school. I guess i feel kind of left out, but hey, your soo close to college/university. There you will meet tons of more people which you can befriend. Atleast thats how i see it.
Reply:thats a hard one i seem to have the same problem try goin to bars if yer old enough, the internet, try talkin to friends of yer friends u might find u have a lot in common, clubs, once u get into college u find it easyer to make friends i did, u just have to not worry but bein shy n what people will think of u n just talk it might be akward at first but the more u just talk to people the easyer it will become
Reply:JUST STOP BEING SHY AND GO OUT PARTY THATS THE BEST WAY I THINK YOU COULD FIND PEOPLE AND START TALKING TO THEM JUST STOP BEING SHY.
Reply:well just start by simple conversation don't try to hard cuz then you seem like your desperate to have a friend...but just cuz u have friends doesn't make things easier...but it's cool to have a couple of friends you trust and love though...
Reply:im like u so what i did was ask the people i wanted to be friends with if they had a myspace and added them so then i got to no them and they got to no me with out ever having to really talk in person at first...hope this helps
