Birthday
Last November I turned 16. By that time I hadn't been celebrating my birthday for four years.Mostly because I always somehow found myself lonely and like a veil...
If it's first semester then most students have the same feelings which is; looking for friends, so you don't have to worry if you consider yourself awkward or creepy.
One thing I know is that most students likes when someone curious of what are they doing or interest. If you find someone been doing something repetitive (drawing, reading, listening to music), ask them about it. If you like the clothing they're wearing, ask them about it or compliment them. Though don't ask too much in short time, just simple cliché question, a few gap of silence is alright, humans need to breathe anyway.
Lastly, everyone likes when they're appreciated so when you meet your acquaintances, wave at them or smile, soon enough it will be a good habit and they will start being comfortable around you. Once you find someone that 'clicks' with you, then you can ask something personal if you want to. The rest will up to faith.
It takes time to befriend with someone. Sometimes you won't be their close friends, and that's alright, just continue being friendly and the right friend will find you. I wish you Best of Luck.
Replyhey there, i'm in college too! so what i do is i usually have one headphone in and one out so that way people can see that im open to having a conversation. (with both in, you cant really communicate) then when im in class and dont know anyone ill talk to the person next to me and get to know them. ex: what year they are, what their major is, where their from ect.
Ive also joined clubs to get to know people and because of that ive made some life long friendships!
Replyanddddd remember its okay to be shy. everyone is at first. put yourself out there a little bit and i promise you good things will come from it!
ReplyThe best way to start a conversation is....get ready for it....it's an amazing bit of advice, but simple.....Start asking the person questions about themself. That's it. You want to start a conversation, notice an interesting jacket, cool phone case, shoes you haven't seen before, an accent that sounds interesting, you overhear they like the same sports team, etc. Just start with some detail and say, "where did you get those shoes?" They will answer, then ask them another question. Be sincere, don't just make up a topic, but if you like shoes and they have a cool pair, ask. If they have an accent that is interesting, ask about it. People love to talk about themselves. Try this out in a less stressful environment. Next time you are at a retail place, coffee shop, grocery store, Target, etc. say something to the cashier. If they have an interesting name on their badge, ask them how their parents came across that. My go to question is often, "how are the customers treating you today?" I have never, I mean never, had any person respond to a question about themselves that comes from a genuine curiosity with anything other than a polite answer and willingness to engage in conversation. People like to talk to people. You obviously want to get in on that, so just find questions to ask and let people talk and see how it goes.
