Introverts Guide to Making Friends

Ok so would you rather sit inside all day instead of going into town? Have you been happy when people cancel plans? Then you are an Introvert.

Making friends is hard enough if you are not an introvert. But if you are then it just makes everything worse. You may want to make friends and hang out with them but the thought of leaving the house gives you anxiety.

A good way to start making friends is to make sure that you don't pick the wrong people. It may feel like you need to cling on to the first person who is nice to you but to make you friends you need to just be yourself. Don't change who you are for other people, you may not like the person you turn into. Make friends with people who accept your quirks and general awkwardness.

Say Hello. If you want to start up a conversation. Start by saying this. I know what you are thinking, how obvious it is start with Hello. Well the amount of times I started talking to someone and I just let out everything i had on my mind. That usually results in some strange looks as they try and get away from such an awkward one-sided conversation.

Find out if there are any interesting Clubs or Groups in your area you could go to. Its a great way to start a conversation and meet new people. If not well you can just go along for the fun of it.

The internet is a great way of making friends, but you have to be careful. You never know who you could come across. It can be a great way of meeting new people or you could just look up memes on tumblr.
