Why can't I make new friends?

Dear ac92, You stated you had a hard time making friends in your other schools as well and you were afraid to go out. Yes, I think that you may want to talk with your parents about getting you some counselling. Some times a little boost to your self-esteem is all that’s needed to give you the confidence to be yourself and make friends. A counsellor can really help in this area. You need to ask yourself this question, is it really true that these are turning against you or does it just feel that way because of your lack of self-esteem. If you answered no they aren’t really it’s just me, I may be over sensitive about certain things. For example just because some one says they have other plans doesn’t mean they don’t like you…perhaps they really do and you should ask again at a later date. If you said yes they really don’t want to spend time with me and they have all said this to me then it’s time for some self evaluation. What about you do they not like? Are you too forward, not forward enough and appear to be self-conscious? We all have things we need to work on and a counsellor will be honest and straight forward with you. Sue…good luck
