How do I meet new people when I am very reserved?


Recently all of my friends moved and now I have no one. I am reserved and having a hard time meeting people?


I am 20 and have not had a boyfriend for almost 1 year. I am very reserved and have a hard time opening up to people..even my close friends. I am worried too!However I hate going out to bars. How can I meet new people from scratch? This is very hard for me. It's like I want to reach out to people however I feel it is easier to turn inward and become a hermit. I am not lonely but I wouldn't mind meeting new people. I also have trust issues from being let down many times in the past. I plan to move to San Diego in about 2 years from now so that I can start from scratch.

A lot of us are shy and reserved but don't let that stop you. Join clubs, hobbies, anything that might possibly interest you. Even some churches have young adult groups. It doesn't take much to ask a person about themselves. Most people don't mind sharing about what they like or do with their lives. It doesn't take much to make a nice comment on something you notice or like about a person. It doesn't take much to ask questions about a hobby you're leaning or something else you're interested in. Get over yourself and get out. The world could be missing out by not knowing someone like you. Good luck

look up people from your area on myspace and get to know them there first, and if you feel comfortable, meet them in person. it's a LOT easier to open up and get to know someone when you're not verbally talking to them or talking in person. :]

Whatever you love there is a group, likely in your area, and if you join you may run into your soulmate...





Plus, the good thing about joining a group is it will take some of the pressure off you.
