i literally searched that😭

[@camronrolfe7414]

No I did too

[@florence6016]

no i did that i'm lonely 😞

[@maridays]

things that helped me make friends at uni: 1 - don't be on your phone ALL the time. one time i was just sitting on a bench and a girl started to talk to me and now we are really good friends!😊 2 - use fandoms/bands/singers merch, trust me its so easy to start conversations 😄😁 3 - if you find out that someone is going home the same way that you ask them if you can go together ( this one also helped me a LOT) 4 - as Marla said, don't be afraid of starting the conversation. Sometimes the other person wants to talk to you but they're afraid too (sorry for my english😅 i hope this will help someone😊❤)

[@MarlaCatherine]

These are super helpful tips!! ❤️

[@mm-dr7we]

I'm not at a new school but I'll have most of my classes without friends/ people I know a bit/ people I'd like to befriend. Most of the students in my classes seem so disinterested in other people like me. I don't really get it, because I'd try to integrate and get to know someone who's struggling alone in a class (at least a bit, I get that not everyone can be friends). I mean I'll try my best and talk to them. But they're so freaking intimidating.

[@maryamx9165]

she's the type of person id want to be friends with!

[@blobfish1829]

I feel like I’m an outcast at school. Like I don’t fit in with anyone or any club/group. My interests and tastes aren’t similar to others and it really hurts because I feel so alone. I’m not preppy, popular, white, edgy, nerdy or whatnot. I’m kinda just weird. I also try to talk to other people around me and I actually go up to a lot of people but they don’t continue the conversation and then they look away or go on their phone. I feel like it’s hard to make friends when people literally have no idea who you are. Most friends are friends because they grew up together or have connections with other people. I’m just alone here by myself. What do I do?

[@hershani1812]

Same. Since I've been going through the same situation as you, I'm not sure how to help. I guess we just have to live by it and right ones will come around.

another way to start a convo: if you guys are in a class together and you have a question DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK THEM. this is a great convo starter and it also allows you guys to sorta get comfortable talking and conversing with each other. You begin to understand the vibe of the other person, and you can decide if you wanna be friends. Bonus: you have a person to ask questions to in class!

Tips that helped me make friends 😃 - Don't be afraid to ask for help on schoolwork. It's a great way to get to know people without knowing about their interests. - If you're in a common area and see somebody watching a show you like, talk to them! It makes great conversation starters. Same goes for people reading a good book or doing a hobby of yours. - Social media is a great way to connect with people at your school. I met a lot of people at my high school by finding on them on Instagram before the school year even started - Literally just compliment people. If you like their outfit, tell them! You'll meet a lot of people this way

About the gum/pen one: I had a friend a few years ago (I would like to say we were already pretty close) but after a while, I started giving him gum after lunch every day. Since our teacher would always be watching us, we found really creative and stupid ways to pass gum to each other, and that really helped us become better friends because we would always laugh at the ways we passed the gum. Also, I sat next to a girl a few years ago and I forgot my eraser and I asked her if I could borrow hers. we eventually became close friends and she honestly helped make the class a lot more enjoyable. SO IT WORKS GUYS DON'T BE AFRAID CUZ IT WORKS (at least for me)

(This is all venting, you don’t need to read it) I’ve never had social anxiety or any fears with talking to literally anyone, and yet I’ve never had any friends since I was in middle school. I’m a college student now btw, and I always went out of my way to strike a conversation with my classmates, I talk about things like homework and other class related things, but they never talk to me after, they move seats the next day or they ignore me. I never understood this, even now though I disregarded it as a normal thing, but walking alone from school is just saddening and I imagine what it would be like if I did have friends. The only people that are my friends are my family. But it’s hard to talk to them about my time in college because I never go out, and I can’t tell them about this person or that one because I don’t have anyone to talk about. I always see these group of people walking together laughing, and I envy them. I honestly just wish I didn’t think anything of it, and that I don’t start to cry when I’m alone in my room for the millionth time.

[@datmangotho9618]

Ashman Murillo It’s okay 🥺 don’t be afraid to keep your head up and smile and wear what you like, if you sit in the corner because you feel insecure then please remember that other people are almost never thinking about you, most if not all of the time they’re thinking about and feeling insecure about themselves. I hope you find some amazing friends soon ❤️

[@palakjain406]

I think I'm really capable of giving really good tips on friendship. I've been through the worst friendship break and it was because I couldn't be myself with them and to tell you the truth I stopped believing in best friend and I still don't use that word, not because I don't believe in friendship but because it puts too much expectations on people. Some tips: 1. Be yourself and I swear it sounds cheesy but it's true trying out a persona will make you tried. And if they don't like real you it's time to leave them. 2. Stop putting too much expectations on your friends. I know they are your ride and die but putting your ideal situation on them won't work. Being extremely crafty I always made extravagant birthday cards for my friends and not getting back would hurt me alot but I realised as I grew I'm doing it to show my love it's not necessary for them to do the same, everyone got their way to show their love. 3. It's okay to not have friends sometimes. You could feel lonely but remember you are your best friend (ik I don't like that word but I can have expectations from myself). When you love yourself and put yourself first you would be happy and people will gravitate towards your aura. 4. I know it can be intimidating to approach people, the best tip is if you find someone interesting and you wanna be friends with them. Observe them and start conversation about something you both have in common. Like if you are in the same club talk about why you joined it and then they can answer or if you find you both like the same singer talk about it.

Hey i bet this will get lost in the comments but I kinda need help fellow teens! So basically I started school now and we merged with anotehr school and i want some friends. Let me say something Marla is right about how you should talk to people but I AM but im never getting anyone wholl talk to me first you know im always the one initiating the conversation with sucks. No one will sit next to me and introduce themsleves, its always me having to do that, please give tips on that and also my current friends, if I wasnt the one to text them or talk to them first they would not talk to me, its soo annoying

[@isaiahricafort737]

I'd be your friend, and many others too.♥️ But it is not good to become friends through comments in videos like these because the person can easily forget it, except for games and social media that has a friend system: like discord, roblox, facebook and etc. Good luck making friends virtually or in real life though! God is our friend. And he understand our loneliness. ♥️ Peace and God Bless! ✌️

it's so hard to make friends after I've been homeschooled for almost 4 years now, I used to be really good at making friends like the whole class was my friend but now I can't make a single friend without having a panic*** attack... maybe its just cuz It was easier making friends when I was younger
