so, I (F20) am starting college next week after dropping out. I currently have 3 friends. How do I make friends?

Edit: I forgot to mention I have social anxiety.

  1. Introduce yourself to people in class. Talk about class. Tall about stuff you do outside of class. Ask them if they wanna study together. Get their numbers in case you miss class

  2. O think the word you’re looking for is “relatable”.
    It you don’t have much in common, it’s either you’re something new to them until they get bored or you have some common ground like hobbies, things you like, sense of humor, etc.

  3. I find classes help especially if you’re in a room where you share a table with people. From my experience sometimes the lecturer will make you work with your people at your table and that is a good way.

  4. Are you sure you want friends? If you have three now you don’t pay much attention to, then ask yourself why you’re seeking out more.

    None of that’s to say don’t be approachable and friendly in classes and all, or that you should ignore someone you really want to be around. Just don’t burn yourself out seeking friends for nebulous reasons. Find a reason for having those friends first, and the rest will fall into place.

  5. Depends, if you actually search friends you gonna have a hard time, but it’s easy to get a few people to spent time with. Easiest icebreaker “hi, I’m *insert name*, you mind some company?”

    Work 95% of the time.

  6. Classes and clubs are really good for making friends. Talk in class till you make plans to do homework or study together.

    Clubs are good because youre already meeting outside of class and have a common interest, so make plans to get food with people before/after. Clubs also often have club rooms that become hangout spots for the people in said clubs in between classes
