Don't know where to sit at lunch?

Question

I'm really really shy. and i'm going to high school this year! i'm really worried about the lunch, because it's a new school, new cafeteria.. and i have absolutely none of my friends in my lunch! i don't know what to do! i'm so nervous. i'm also so shy. i don't want to sit alone for half an hour looking like an idiot with no friends! what do i do? please help.

Answer 1

I never had that experience, mostly because as soon as I set foot in my new school, I was greeted by a hyper cheerleader

well, you can sit alone for a bit, maybe someone will talk to you, or maybe someone will talk to you before then!

Answer 2

Girl, go get your grub on.  Just sit there all cool acting.  Enjoy your food and there will be another person in the same boat except a bit more outspoken and less shy than you.  So in that even, this person will come sit right by you or look over and smile, with your return smile may turn into your best lunch buddy.

Answer 3

try to meet new ppl during either your 1st or 2nd periods, wich 4 r probably rite b4 luch. break out of ur shell and get out there. sit by someone that looks nice and frienly. keep in mind that if this is ur first year of high school, every one is new. and some r probably just as shy as u. lastly, do u, b urself , and dont let the upper classmen bully u! =) good luck!!

Dear, don't worry about lunch!  Highschool was truly the best time of my life and i meet all my best friends in highschool!  I'm pretty shy too.  You're not alone, but don't be afraid to initiate conversation.  If a person ignores you then it's their loss that they missed out on a great opportunity to make a great friend.  

If you see someone who's also eating alone (trust me there will be), ask politely if you could sit and eat with them.  Or if you see a nice group of kids eating together and you want to join them, just ask!  People are not that mean in highschool, and the only mean ones are the uneducated ones.  

If you were eating alone next to my friends and I, we would totally ask you to join us :)

so don't worry!  you'll do just fine and remember that you won't be alone if you just be yourself!

I am onlyin middle school but I just went though the same thing try to meet at least one person chances are they will be nice and invite you. I know you are shy, so am i, but my grandpa always told me that shyness is like the pickle jar you cant open you just need someone to help you pop the lid! I know it sounds funny but... It kinda makes sence lol sorry if this wont help but at least give it a try!!  good luck who knows maybe the first person you see and meet could be your bestfriend for the rest of your life!! I hope you first day of school goes well and hopfully everything works out bye!

Answer 6

The only people who will look like an idiot are the ones who look at you funny for sitting alone. You can always meet new people. If anyone talks to you, just talk to them. Eventually someone will come talk to you and you'll be more comfortable, but it takes time and sometimes you have to make the first move. If the first day turns out not so great, bring something to look at the second day. Keep your mind off being alone and use the time to study or read a good book. You'll be fine, just don't worry about anything and don't try too hard to be friends with people, that rarely ever works.

Answer 7

during classes before lunch,

find someone who's not to occupied,nice, and stylish...

and dont introduce yourself to the nobodys..

basically find someone who has the same outlook like you..

so that if she wears converse, hoodie, and no much makeup as the preppy girls, and you do too.. then intro duce your self..

confidence always work.. you may think you're really shy... but this year is to start fresh!!

introduce your self,

by having a loud calm confident voice and sweet sounding

dont put your hand out, just sit in a chair enough and say hey, i really like your _____(shoes,necklaces, shirt) ... i have the same one except its pink.. haha. whats your name?

and start your fresh confident personality there!!!

be someone that people would like, someone they could relate to

Answer 8

Try to keep a smile on your face even if you are feeling a bit timid on the inside.  Sit wherever there is room and say hello to the others at the table.  And as the year goes on you will make more friends!  Oh, and don't forget to say hello to the people who also look shy, you never know, you just may make someone else's day quite a bit brighter.
