The only way to have a friend is to be one

To make friends, get involved. Join the basketball team or French club or student government or literary magazine, and meet others who share your interests.Then say hello (even if you’re feeling shy) and introduce yourself. Ask questions, laugh approvingly, smile, listen well, and keep secrets.

People like people who like them. If you seem warm and interested, girls and guys will respond to you. If you say nothing, you may come off as cold and distant even if you’re
only timid.

Be visible and vibrant, cheerful and curious.You’ll make more friends than if you spend your days inside peering wistfully out the window. Though everybody feels nervous at times, if you break through your shell you’re doing yourself and those around you a favor. So try to relax. As Anne Lamott wrote, “Don’t look at your feet to see if you’re doing it right. Just dance.”
