The shy kid’s guide to making friends
Finding new friends can sometimes be tricky… but here are a few tips to help you get started.
Smile at people...
If you look like you want to be on your own, people might think you really do.
It’s normal to feel nervous...
Remember that everyone feels awkward or uncomfortable sometimes... you’re not alone.
Just try saying 'hi'...
That’s the hardest step... and the more people you say 'hi' to, the more success you’re going to have!
Try asking questions...
You can get the conversation going this way. Remember to be interested in what they’re saying too!
Find out if you have any shared interests...
Things you're both into can make great subjects to talk about.
Don’t give up if it doesn’t work!
Some people have their own things to deal with, so there might be a perfectly good reason why they’re not that friendly. Don’t take it personally - just say hi to someone else!
