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 also have not had a boyfriend for almost 3 years. (I tell myself the reason for not having a boyfriend was because I was so busy going to school and work) I guess I also took my friends for granted at that time because now they are all gone .My friend came and visited me this weekend and told me I have to stop keeping myself in my shell and get out and meet people and that she is really worried for me. 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 very lonely and spend almost every waking

Well, i' somewhat reserved myself. I like doing stuffs alone but on the other hand i have tons of friends. You have to be more open and learn to trust others, especially your close friends who have shown their worthiness. You can meet new people from the internet! websites such as Friendster and Hi-5 helps a lot. But its best when you help yourself to be better in communication skills. You need not go to bars as there are many places where you can find new friends. Maybe you can find people who share the same interests and etc.. Keep it up and don't be too shy!
Reply:Your friend is right. Get out of the house. Go to ball games, to book stores, coffee shops. Start asking for peoples email address. Then you won't have to break the ice in person. Hang in there girly, it happens to the best of us.
Reply:I feel bad for you! But i have a few ideas! They have worked for me in the past. Try talking about a good topic, and if it doesn't work try a different topic, you can just start to talk to people at the park or store or something, talk about your life but nto to much about you, ask them about there self too! Don't come up and say what's your life like, say oh hi or something, something to start a conversation, something you would do with your friends! Try to come on to them in a way that they feel ok to open up to u, and talk about your self and other topics, before you ask them about them selves. They wont talk if they are to afraid and don't know about you first and they can't open up. And be kind and polite, be your self, don't ly! If you ly about something because someone else says they don't like this one thing or they hate this person, you might hert your friends and your self lying, and evn though it might be true your new friend hates a person whos your friend or doesn't like something you do or likes something you don't, they migh be lying as well, just to fit in! so always be your self and that the best i can give you! Hope you make new friends! I got to go(g2g) Sorry about how u feel, but work hard and u'll get friends, and now i really have to go, Good Luck, Bye!
