Join any organization that really catches your interest, extracircullar activities will boost your self esteem and increase your grades. I would see what was offered there and speak to anyone that is a member or might know more about what you are intrested in. |

What Jack8377 said is good advice. Joining clubs and being active in the college , even if it's a community college, is a great way to meet people. If you decide to go on to a university your options will open up a hundred fold. The important thing is to relax, get out there and have fun. The rest will come in time. |

Ran into this 5 years ago when I moved. I moved for a job to a state where I literally knew nobody. As a die hard gamer, I had to put a few things aside. Being 33 made it a lot more difficult. Hell you're still in school you got it made. meeting and networking doesnt happen overnight. Im sure you have a friend or two. Just get at least one other person to go out with you regularly. Go shoot pool, approach other people while your out. Be more communitive in class and get people to do things outside of work with you. Most people are bored off their asses too so dont be shy. Dont ask, just be like "hey lets go see underworld 3 tonight" or "lets go shoot paintball this weekend". Get other people to come with you, small group outings of like 3 people are great. Before you know it, you'll have a small circle of friends you just need to work on networking and stop blowing people off. make yourself go out and do things no matter how unentertaining it might seem, doing things outside of the house is always better than being shut-in. Im not sure how much of a social life you expect, but at the age of 19 my social life was house or apartment parties 2-3 times a week or just getting hammered over a friends house watching old B movies with a bag of shwag. I think pot and beer were the biggest part of my social life at your age. maybe you need to gain experience <wink> |

As mentioned before, join a club. Sports teams are especially good, join a very laid back team. They'll spend more time hanging out, going to dinner, and having various other social nights than actually playing. Great way to meet people. |

Thx people. ATM I have no real life friends to hang out with, cause most of my high school friends went sep ways. Iam going to do as you all stated, and go out and look for clubs and sports I could join. Iall be going to University of the District of Columbia in the Fall, so look me up if anybody else is from this area. Be cool to hang out and stuff for once. |

Find a charity and do some volunteer work for them... You'll meet tons of available women that way.

lol, thats mean. The most important rule to help with the psychology of social interaction is that on a rolling average, everyone else is just as insecure as you are. You are 19, fuck what other people think. Say whats on your mind, and be authentic. The last thing people want to hang out with is a copycat drone, not at your age, and well into the twenties. Authenticity will make you more friends than anything else. GL.

Stop Beeing a nerd that posts On Fourms and Go into the real world :P If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. |
