Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Strike up a conversation.

    or things like "did you see the that new movie yet? This gives them an idea of you being a possible friend in the future.

    You should smile politely as well if you want to give that friendliness a lasting affect.

    It's a great idea to have a chance to communicate to someone you don't know in your school because there could be totally awesome benefits and happy endings if you were to be in a little situation.

    Most likely, if the person you had a conversation with was a nice person, they may help you out in coincidence later on. , Try to start conversations with other people and see if you guys have anything in common or have similar interests.

    Even if you are very different. , Getting to know people is very important because you will never know who will do what or what will happen next.

    Knowing people may help you solve many puzzles in some situations too. , You will never truly know who's the "culprit" to your social problems or the "one" you should give all of your trust to.

    Do not be surprised if someone doesn't like you for no reason.

    One thing to solve that is to talk to the person without freaking out or blaming.

    Use "I-messages" or try to be GREAT friends with that person.

    If they didn't like you because of a silly rumor or vice versa, don't be in a myopic state of mind.

    Think for a little while before you take action.

    Also, if you don't feel comfortable in any stressing situation, just say so.

    Lying will take the skills of a super ingenious strategist for a whole day and being stuck in a tangled web of lies can lead to way more trouble than you had when you told the truth. , If you want to hang out with your friends and be together more often, join school activities such as clubs or extracurricular activities.

    The things that you do in school may contain people who share a similar reason to be in that activity like you or may have some of the same goals as you.

    If you don't feel too comfortable with school activities, try planning a fun event where people from your school you know or want to know can come and have a wonderful time.
