HELP: How can I make more friends? (in real life)

Im extremely lonely and it’s taken me from suicide and back (no this is my ghost). I have this fear of talking to people my own age (17), because of the fear of being made fun of. I have friends that I’m very close with and hang out with, and I have people that I know well from school and am very friendly with but never hung out with. How can I get over this? what can I do to get closer to my friends I know from school? most of them I couldn’t even bring myself to so much as get their number for fear of rejection… how can I make more friends? like in real life not on this website. Any help is greatly appreciated. if you come accross this question PLEASE SAY SOMETHING because I’m desprate for help…

Answer #1

This sounds a helluva lot like social anxiety disorder. I know, I went through the exact same thing you are going through. In all honesty the easiest way to get through it is medication. I take zoloft now and it is honestly the most amazing thing ever. It just takes away any anxious feelings. You feel as though you can say anything, do anything, and not care what other people think.

Answer #2

Just make an offer to go do something that you know they like doing and they will probably decide to accept the offer and if not its not the end of the world just move on to another person…good luck

Answer #3

you can start with something simple, meetin people online, so you get the hang of it.. they dont know you, you dont know them.. they cant do nothing to you man.. next step is at school talk to older people might be easier… teachers, conselours, none will reject… then you go with students.. make some new friends… try the smart ones haha, they always nicer… good luck man =)
