Question

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE QUESTIONS :

How can I be sociable and show people (guys & girls) that I'm very friendly?

When its the first day of school, and you're going to class and waiting for the bell to ring & i see a person I might want to make friends with what do I say, & how do I show them I'm friendly?

& how do I get friendly with someone at eat lunch?

- the problem with this is, if I join a group of people (who are already friends) their always just talking to each other, & I don't want to butt in. how

(10 points to whoever answers all of my questions, with details)

Answer 1

smile at everyone!!

even if u only met the person in passing say hello in the halls

say something generic like "gosh i hope this teacher is in a good mood today" to get a convo going

walk woth one person to luch and get them in a really interesting convo so u can sit with them to finish the convo. keep it going and maybe make it into a debate and invite others at the table to join in

Answer 2

just b ur self and talk 2 someone that has a lot of other friends then u will have an excuse 2 talk 2 a bunch of new ppl ok for Q#2 say hey! im new here do u know where this class is or somthing like that they will b very friendly back and they might remember u later...Q#3 in the class b4 lunch talk 2 someone that looks nice and on ur way out the door ask if u can sit with them and @ lunch ask about ur teachers and c if ny1 is in ur classes then u will have a buddy 2 walk with 2 that class and DONT WORRY every1 is nervous

Answer 3

well just be yourself.

But just remember that some people arent very open to new people and just wont accept anyone new.

i found that out when i moved here to a new country and no one wanted to know me or let me be part of their group; some people are just ignorant and hate change.

if so then move to another school until you find people you like and who are nice to everyone. or you can focus on talking to one person or two perhaps that may be nice

For your first question...to show people you are friendly and to be a sociable person. I would a) work on your appearance. Wearing nice clothes and being clean looking (wash face, hair looking good, maybe some make up) will make you look more approachable. Looks aren't everything, of course, but when someone sees you they don't say "oh she's a nice person" they say "oh i like her outfit" or something of that sort. 2nd, I would try just acting friendly..even if you aren't going to talk to someone....wave to everyone, say hi, how ya doing, SMILE SMILE SMILE!!!

for your second question, there's so much to talk about on the first day of school...you have A LOT of options! don't just limit it to people that you THINK you want to be friends with, talk to everyone! just go up and say, "wow you've changed this summer!" or "where did you get that cute blouse!?" or something like "i heard you went ____ over the summer" "what did you do all summer!?" etc. this also works throughout the year "what did you do this weekend or this evening" etc. There are probably tons of shy people, so if you start the conversation you will make a friend that you would've of otherwise!

Never talk bad about anyone! It's understandable that you will have your opinions on people, you can't like everyone, but you have to treat them nicely still and keep it to yourself.

For eating lunch...on the first day of school, when you're using the tips above and talking to someone, maybe you can say something like, "hey do you want to sit together at lunch?" find some people to go along with. at lunch you should be outgoing and friendly. ask someone about their summer, tell a funny joke, etc. if you were invited then you are in no way butting in!

being nice and being YOURSELF are the keys!!!

good luck on your first day!
