I know you have to build up trust over time but I constantly get misinterpreted and my real intentions (which are good, I try to be a kind person) are often obscured.

Hang out with them, be funny. Don't go online and google jokes, just have fun. People will like that.

I will never be back the way i was before with my old friend. Its just over now all because she wanted to be evryones friend just because she afraid of the people who dont like me at school and are "after me" Well, at the moment my main goal is to establish a handful, or at least one, very good friend or best friend. I'm not talking about cutting corners to win over trust from a large group of people like some dictator, I just want to let people know that they can trust me and that I won't harm them or betray their trust..
