I'm so not myself

[shschicka07]

I never really post, I usually just go to the unanswered posts and answer them the best I can. But I have a problemo.

 

At school and church I'm two different people. I'm mostly myself at church but at school I feel like I can't be myself. I don't have close enough friends at school that I could be my outgoings self. I usually am very outgoing and happy. I got into Drill Team at school to possibly make new close friends but also be able to dance. I'm dancing but those friendships haven't been made. I guess I'm a little too impatient and can't wait. Everyone's tellin me it takes time but, most of the girls on my team have found someone that they can really connect with. I haven't. I don't have that many guy friends at school so that doesn't help either. I thought being a sophmore this year and being involved with the school would help my chances of being myself and making close friendships. It hasn't worked out that way I guess.

 

I guess if ya have any advice give it. I know what you might say...just be myself anyway. Tried that. No one seemed to respond well.

Well i dont really know how to respond on this one.But how i usually made friends was just out of no where talking to them in class and i didnt really know how we got to be such good friends.What your doing in class should be alright.I agree with other people when they u should just be yourself and let things flow.Sooner or later someone is bound to notice u.Maybe u should just try to talk and make some conversation with people and maybe if they like the same things u like and u get to know them well overtime u can just maybe ask them if they want to do something sometime.Iono i hope that helps

I find the best way to make friends, is to simply talk to people and get to know them. Say hi to some random person and strike up a conversation...you don't know what might happen next! Good luck!

The best advice I can give is to just keep trying. As you say it isn't easy, but it can be done. When meeting new people be friendly, smiley and try and be genuinley interested in that person. You will soon make new friends.

 

good luck

Corny, yes, but the most important thing IS to be able to be yourself~

 

just do that and especially if you're the outgoing and happy type like you say, the rest will follow naturally
