How can I make friends in a society full of paranoid people?

Question

Moving is not an option for the next three years.

People around here suspect everybody of having the worst motives, they even barely talk to each other and if you say anything they take it the worst possible way.

You can't ask questions, you can't even say "hello" without them looking at you all weird and guarding themselves as if you were about to hurt them.

How can I get through these people?

Answer 1

Sounds like your sat spy camp or something??

Find an interest and then you can start a conversation with someone who shares the same interest as you do.  Or find away that will draw people towards wanting to make conversation with you first.  A good way to get a guy's attention is to ask for help or suggestions about cars etc anything to do with mechanical stuff or tools, you know manly things lol.  With girls its usually clothes, make up, shoe's etc.
