I find it really difficult just talking to new people, I always feel like a big akward freak, anyone have any valuable life expirience that could help?

don't worry about it! I'm starting a new college course this evening, and well, due to being bullied when younger i've never really been able to talk to people all too easily. But I guess there comes a time where you just need to open up.

I found that in my last course i was so silent and in doing so i let a guy there walk all over me and make me feel useless, but the others there helped me open up so much i was able to talk to them.

just say hi to people and put on a brave face, ask how they're doing,just conversation starters and don't be put down if someone dosn't give you their full attention, there's always someone else to talk to

Find some clubs or activity groups that interest you and sign up.

Just let the natural flow take place. Don't try to hard, be yourself, and let nature take it's course.

Things will work out and be fine.

Remember what the dormouse said:

I wish I would have had time in college to join clubs and make friends.

Unfortunately I had to work a full time mon-fri job and go to school for 4 1/2 hours at night until almost 11pm... at that point of thr day you just want to go to cla** and get it over & done with so you can go home to sleep and maybe squeez home work in.. hence why I haven't gone back for my next degree up. Don't think I can do that again.

But the best way to make friends is probably to join a club or sport (if you enjoy that type of stuff) to meet people who have similar interest as you. It's kind of a n ice breaker when you are in the same interest group so you already know you all have 1 thing in common.

Buy everyone a pint! They will love you

Just try to be yourself.

True friends will see through any shell


If there is a storm there.... chase it!

haha.. hihi.. first of all.. im eliz..^.^)
not really good at advice..
but maybe i can help ya ..
anyway is true that difficult just talking to new people, I feel weird too..dono if they are good or wat they might think.. but what i know being first meet with a new friend is cool.. cause is just feel cool hee=.=".. like when u had your first friend in your secondary school.. just take it like the first experience when u first say hi .. with a smile to someone.. and the person will surely be interested to be your new friend.. and slowly maybe u might have the same interest with u.. and having a friends in Uni is GreaT so that went u get into trouble your friend may help u.. what i know im really shy person too.. i just must have the courage to smile n say hi or halo..=) just like now.."halO
hmm hope it will help u.. take care.. smiLe

I just introduced myself to the peron beside me and moved on from there. Extroverts like 1 person in particular also make things a bit easier and the uni normally does some sort of get-to-know people activity on the induciton day.


Catch me as I fall,
And even more so while I'm standing tall.

When you move in (particularly halls) leave your room door open while you un pack and sort all your stuff out, youll find you comunicate more with people as everyone goes in and out! good luck, you'll be fine! x


Smile like you mean it !
