friends help: I have no friends. - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I have no friends.

I live in a small town, and it’s very clique oriented. I’ve always been surrounded by people I though were friends, but I never get invited to do anything and in the end, they all have thier own group of tight people. I tried to wiggle into thier group, but they’ve known each other most thier lives and I ended up having to change myself. I’m tired of this. I want to be accepted for who I am. I am starting high school this year, and my schedule is much different than all my friends, putting me with upperclassmen a lot. How do I make friends while staying true to myself?

I don’t judge people, because there is a lot more to you than I know, so I won’t go after you for that post. :)

Well just be yourself. Then true friends will find you. There is always someone out there that will be your bud. Just got to find that person!

if you want to make genuine friends you have to act genuine yourself. just act yourself and people will decide if they want to be your friend or not the ones that do are usually good friends to have.

Well, be entirely yourself when you talk to people, so they don’t get the wrong perception of you and will treat you how you should be treated. And being entirely yourself will attract the right people/friends for you.

Well surely some people are more accepting than others. Otherwise, everyone would hate each other wouldn’t they? I hope our advice works. Good luck =)

like no other all towns are fundamentally the same, if they don’t appear “accepting” then why should that change the way you behave or act don’t let per pressure effect you to such an extent at this stage in your life or you will find it gaining more influence over your decisions in the future, stay true to yourself and enjoy being an individual its they guys like us that make this world remotely interesting.
