Non-sociable.

I am beginning to become a hermit. I haven't hung out with anyone since school started (it has been a month and a half) and I am afraid I will be a loner AGAIN.

I don't want that to happen again. But I don't know how to invite a friend to do something? Like do you invite them to your house the first time you hang out? Or like go to a coffee shop? Sorry if I am making this sound like a date but I am nervous even with making friends. It is bugging me, and tonight there was a mixer and I didn't go. My parents are even bugging me about not going. UGH! HELP!

Go. Just go. XD Anywhere they want! 😋 Anywhere you prefer that is in our region. 😋 HOMEWORK PARTAY. /IS SLAPPED

@balletninja well you don't necessarily have to go do an activity just to make a friend 😋 I would suggest randomly sittig down next to someone and starting a conversation at lunch or before class starts 😸 And be friendly. 😃

balletninja • 23 September 2011 at 10:54 PM

@trish I feel awkward even talking about inviting them over though. Like, they might not want to.

crescentfeather • 23 September 2011 at 10:55 PM

@balletninja Just be friendly! 😃😃😃

@balletninja I was recently rejected by a former friend that wanted to hang out with her elementary school friends then her middle school friends. So we are just ignoring each other.

Get together with people, and ask, then at least one person has to say yes. XD

I'm like that sometimes too. X3 I prefer being alone, sometimes I get annoyed with myself, sometimes I don't talk much. I prefer to keep a few good friends, especially since one of my freidns lives right across the street from me. As for inviting them to your house and such, I can't do too much but give my opinion, I'm usually wuite shy about that. But if you know some people, try to get to know them better, and just ask them when they have free time to hang out or something along those lines, then go on from there. ^^

@balletninja
Depends on what age you are. (well in my opinion)

Elementary School - Super Easy to make friends ^-^
Middle School - Kinda Easy/Medium. People judge you more :x
High School - Easy/Medium/Difficult. I can't explain this one since I am not in HS e.e

It just depends on what you are into & your personality. Just be yourself and I am sure friends will come~

balletninja • 23 September 2011 at 10:57 PM

@crescentfeather Yeah, you can be friendly. But that only gets you so far. I have plenty of friends, just good friends? Friends that I can call on a whim? NOPE!

@lizardfeather Yeah, but I feel if you don't invite them over fast enough that close-friend thing is lost.

musicgurl333 • 23 September 2011 at 10:57 PM

Invite them anywhere you feel comfortable. 😊 Events are always a good thing to invite people to...fall is a good time for that...all sorts of festivals and things going on. Just say, "Hey, I was thinking of going to thing X on (insert day here). Would you like to come?" Easy as that. 😊

Sure they might say no, but don't take it personally. It's probably just because they're busy and/or aren't interested in that particular activity. But you know what, if you don't ask you'll never know. 😊

@balletninja Naaah I have some really close friends who I've never been to their house or like done something together besides socializing (I've known them 3 years) until just recently xD

crescentfeather • 23 September 2011 at 10:59 PM

@balletninja I don't know :x I usually get bored in class and start doodling kitties, and then someone comes over and says "OMG CUTE! ❤️" 😋😋😋

Start a conversation! That's the easiest way! 😃

Oh, and-


food brings people togetharrrrrrrr! 8DDDDDDDD

balletninja • 23 September 2011 at 11:00 PM

@sotheavey Yeah, it is hard though. Because if you invite a person who think they are better than you, they will spread EVIL rumors.

@musicgurl333 That helped a ton! Fall festival! 😊 Thanks!

musicgurl333 • 23 September 2011 at 11:00 PM

@balletninja Really? I'm so glad I could help!! 😃

forestgem15 • 23 September 2011 at 11:04 PM

@balletninja

Invite me! I won't mind. 😈

Just kidding.. XD

I'd invite someone to go watch a movie at a theater~

@balletninja Good luck 😃
