Okay so basically I moved to a new school for sixth form along with a number of students from my previous school although i wouldn't really consider any of them great friends. I've been at this school for 3 days and tend to hang around with these people as i don't really know anyone else ( all guys as went to an all boys school). I want to start making friends with some girls because i've never really had any friends who are girls before but in classes and stuff people don't tend to sit near me because they don't know me so I'm kind of alienated which makes talking to people casually and making friends difficult. I've spoken briefly to a couple of girls but I broke the conversations off quickly because i didn't want to feel intrusive and ask them about personal stuff.m I feel awkward around new people and i never know what to say. At my old school i was known as the quiet kid although with different groups of people i can be chatty and even loud. I think it might be a problem with being too concerned about how people view me or may be it is something else? I didn't have problems talking to the guy sitting next to me in history because there was a structured activity with specific things set out. I feel that if i start talking to girls i will run out of things to say as i've never been great at conversations. Tomorrow I have the Graphics for the first time so i feel thi would be the best oppurtunity to talk to people in the class but I don't know how i'll end up sitting next to a girl i don't know if people stick with their friends. I tend to be quiet in class and this is awkward and i really don't want the reputation as the shy quiet kid again.
How can i end up sitting near new people and what kinds of things should i say to people to start conversations and keep them going? how do i go about learning things about other people and opening up more? i always feel like i'm tagging along and unimportant. any conversation tips or tips to relax and try to be myself?? any tips in generale would be great
thanks
Put the internet to work for you.
