So this is probably gonna sound pretty pathetic, but I am NOT good at making friends! AT ALL! I am 20 years old (female) and in college. But making friends is something I have NEVER been good at, and I'm just not sure why. I have a couple of friends, who I have known since elementary/middle school, but I don't even see or talk to them much anymore...which is why I need to make more! I try talking to people, but it just turns into small-talk, and then its done after that. And when I'm in a lecture hall, I'll sit somewhere, and it takes a while before anybody sits next to me. I don't know what it is. I'm not overweight. I don't think I'm creepy looking or TOO terribly ugly (I'm NO Marilyn Monroe or Beyonce though)...and I dress pretty normal. No gothic clothes or anything. So I don't know.
Maybe I do look creepy to people??

You just gotta relax.
Don't try too hard, because it will just seem forced.
Maybe you should try getting a job or something where you'll get to know people really well.

Try joining clubs so you can get to know people with similar interests so that your small talk can become more and you can make friends easier. It's probably not that you as a person are unappealing, but you, like me, just need to try putting yourself out there more, I'm sure people will like you.

love is patient, kind, never failing.
it respects the right and turns away from the wrong.

all you have 2 do is be nice and talk 2 people. but make sure it's the people you want 2 hang out wit and not people you hate
-------
hate the world and not yourself
feel good and dont forget your friends in the process

Making friends is really a hard thing to do, to reach out and talk to someone and hope that you connect with this person. I don't find that it's pathetic that you're 20 and lacking friends. You're in college, how much free time could you possibly have? To make friends I suggest you spend time being you, figure out what you like in a friend, figure out if you're a good friend. Small talk is great when you want someone to check your answers and things but, if you're looking for a friend that's not going to cut it, as you've realized. You should go and reach out to people, find someone with the same interests as yourself out in the wild; if you're someone who likes to read, go to a library, if you're one to play tennis find people at the courts to talk to. You should keep in mind that you don't want to come off as being disparate for a connection with someone and you should make sure that you're not changing yourself in this pursuit. Keep some of this in mind when you're out looking. I really do wish you luck! You'll have friends in no time, everyone has something special to offer and don't be afraid to let whatever it is show!
