How to Make Friends When You're Socially Awkward

What’s your favourite Pokémon?

Because I have no friends I feel akward in class, and because of that, I never raise my hand cuz if I get an answer wrong I don’t want others to get a first impression that I’m dumb, and I’m too akward to talk to ppl 😭😭😭 and I moved to the school im in now 3 yrs ago, it’s been 3 yrs and still I have 0 friends at my school, so I ruined my reputation by having no friends and ppl made rumors abt me saying I’m wierd but I’m just a quiet akward person, and I have voice cracks all the time so in class when I’m picked on to answer my voice cracks and I sound like a weirdo and I’m so akward with even teachers, plus I can’t think when im called on so I end up getting the easiest questions wrong someone pls help

I love this sm abut what do I say to start a conversation (without just complementing people) and how do I continue a conversation.

I want to make friends but don’t know if people care about me, so I don’t try, I worry I will lose another, or will feel more pain than I already do if I lose them because of my attachment issues

Omggg thank you for this, im feeling lonely and and thinking im asking my bestie to be everything i like, so i think this will help ❤

After coming out of a private school I attended for 8 years I am still trying to find my kind of people, I did meet a freshman but when I ever I try to speak to them I don’t know what to say because they have their AirPods in most of the time

i feel like i lost o lot my social skills post lockdowns in 2020/21,
still havent gained it back yet really

Omg i remember watching this a few years ago i had the absolute worse social anxiety I was young and people think there’s no such thing as a young girl having social anxiety trust me it’s a thing anyways I still have social anxiety not that bad but I have friends, a few years ago I made 1 friend which made me come out off my shell and I moved to a new school but those 1 and a half years and now I have a lot of friends i think 😢 also talking to people online helps a lot! Like online friends or you can talk to people from school online it’s much better!

It hurt that i didn't have friends in middle school and high school. It hurt that i didn't even date in high school. I still don't have any friends

for some reason whenever i talk to someone i MAKE it awkward. i awkwardly smile, awkwadly walk away, shit i even awkwardly scratch my neck.. its like im in a disney movie, its that bad. its not even awkward anymore at this point, its just cringe.but for some reason i cant help it. my friend always says i need to be more social, but i dont think thats the problem. i think i just need to be more confident. but idk how

i used to be a popular girl in my old school so im used to people wanting to be friends with me and i forgot to socialize now im lonely😢😂
i seriously dont know how to make friends and all of them already has a circle its fine i guess

I kinda like this person, they are cute and I would like to be able to get to know them it would allow me to tell if it will be something more than just them being kinda attractive to me or if we don't have a lot alike, I'm very bad with social things and am lucky that I have the friends that I do have, but I'm scared to talk to them. My friends think I should just go up and talk to them but I have no idea what I would even say lol. This is pretty much just a rant bc im pretty helpless 😗

Hopeful 😊

I have currently noticed that my main problem has always been number 5

The best advice: don’t overthink what to say. You shouldn’t need to watch a video, just say whatever comes to your mind

There’s this kid at my school who I really wanna be friends with, I’d been preparing for a week to say “I like your outfit” but I got anxious. This helped a lot!

im even awkward online

me, a 22 year old, watching this in the middle of the night cuz i dont really have friends... i just know a lot of people but theres really no one to talk to. no one to tell jokes with, share stories, and other stuff that friends do...

when i was younger i was an extrovert but now im an introvert the wrost thing is im the only introvert in my class so i have a hard time having friends in my class none of the extroverts talked to me i dont think i like approachable😅 but luckily one extrovert did and before i enrolled there i had another friend so i actually have two friends the wrost thing is partnering up my other two friends would pick their other friends over me bc they knew them first

I literally want to make new friends but it's so socially awkward

Thank you. 🌺

i just started middle school and i love it. i have friends and i love them, but i feel like i’m not close with a couple of my friends. i’m always awkward around them and can tell it’s awkward when we hang out at school, but when i see them hanging out with other people, they aren’t awkward at all. i don’t know what’s wrong with me cause i can’t become close with them. and i can’t call them because it makes it even more awkward. and i hate hanging out with people outside of class/school time. i just wanna be close with them

HOW DID SHE KNOW ABOUT MY LAMMA THEORY??

I was searching a video guide of how make online friends, but I love these videos, they are super cutes! 💖💖

Am 19 years old painfully awkward in social settings, and introverted. Seeing how people relate to this is a little comforting knowing am not really alone :)

This didn't work it got me shamed I might just kill my self

watched this because recently i cleared all two friends from my life since i noticed they were rude, and not true friends

Use MEEFF❤

Techno never dies

i am just too stupid for this $h*t i dont know im only 13 and cannot make friend

I'm pretty sure that I'm an extrovert that has nothing in common with anyone, so I can't really converse with anyone about anything. As a result, I've made myself an introvert with friends in the single digits and no hope in getting more and having the slow realisation of loneliness creeping in as i get to the college stage of my life.
My lack of friend making skills is slowly killing me on the inside, and i can't help it

Guys who wants to be friends? From kuwait

instructions unclear, i am now wanted by the police for stalking!

what if all the people in my grade ive grown up with and i feel like things r awkward with them know💀 like actually its AWKWARD awkward

if you're meeting strangers at a tech event, say "hello world"

Thankyou for this video ❤️😊

This works so good I made 3 friends at the first day and now it is the 3. Day and I have now 6 frinds

My question is- what if just the thought of talking to a stranger makes you break down in tears? Lmao

I have like social issues and I find it very hard to make friends. You are such of a comport person and I really appreciate the way you make us videos 💛

Ahh... I really need this one! I hope after this I can do normal socials like another people...! I feel so panic or awkward when someone are talking with me in reality even it's the first time or not... Anys thanks you so much!

There’s someone i recently saw in a lower grade then me who I thought looked really cool I wanted to become friends with but whenever I get close my social acienty kicks in I just keep walking I can’t even look at them-

wow this video sucks im going to kms

im scared because they don't need anymore friends that's why

Psych2Go, ,,,What about admitting that you feel awkward and using that as a conversation starter? Has that helped those of us who need t be honest in our awkwardness?

I just started high school 2 days ago and it's been pretty shitty... I am feeling depressed, I cried almost 3 times now, it's just so hard for me to make new friends
I feel so scared when I talk to random people, I tried talking to one classmate and it was horrible, I regret it already... It was awkward, the silence when I tried to think of some questions was horrible and I just feel so bad about it... I just want some friend, someone who cares for me, someone who I can tell my problems, someone that is nice and kind to me and we have a lot of fun together. When I was in elementary I started as a extroverted child so I had some friends through all of the elementary but they weren't like close friends or stuff, they were just some people I talk to like 3 times a day in school and nothing more, just one guy was so close with me, he was so kind and nice, we were such a good friends but now we are on different schools and the contact between us starts fading away so I will just end up lonely on that stupid high school... Sorry for my english but I just wanted to say the things I feel somewhere where I won't be judged
