How to make friends with my conditions and my situation..?

Question

i'm in a horrible situation. last year i moved from the school where i had a lot of friends, to a school where i was treated as an outcast, and hadn't made any friends because the school wasnt diverse at all. i moved there towards the end of the year, around march/april-ish. when school was over, i spent all summer by my self, and was forced to break up with my best friend because my family didn't like his family. so now i'm totally alone. i still had my dog as a friend. however, she suddenly ran away from home at around august, we had a chance to pick her up at the shelter, but my mom admitted to me she never liked my dog, and it was always a hassle to take care of her. sadly shes with a different family now. i feel miserable because im so totally alone with no one at all. my problem is that im shy in a way, and i get nervous at school and the thing is when i get nervous, i stutter. i can't make friends this way because they might think i'm a freak. i have already made a bad impression last year, so this year in high school i have most of them again for the year. (but the school is big, over 2,800 students coming from 2 middle schools) i really desperately need to make friends, do you have any idea how a person alone that stutters when nervous can make friends? also, are there any calming techniques (like meditating phrases i could say to my self) to calm my self on the inside? because when i'm calm, i dont stutter at all. more than anything, after being alone for so long (i have never been in this situation before in my life, ive always had friends) how can i make friends, given my conditions?

Answer 1

Ok first of all what is it that makes you nervous exactly?  Because seriously what do you want to bet that the other person you are talking to is just as nervous.  They are not going bite you.  There is nothing to be nervous about seriously.

Try joining something in school (like drama club or sports or something).  That helps alot because not only are you with people that you have common interests in but then you have people that also want to talk to you.

Answer 2

give me some info

Answer 3

At this point you have to take a leap of faith.  Don't be as quiet because you will alienate yourself from others.  

Get closer to a person who is open minded some one you see who is sweet and friendly to other people and maybe they will be nice to you.  

And your family sucks getting rid of your friend and your dog I MEAN SERIOUSLY.

Otherwise start playing a game or join myspace and make friends from other schools close by that way you don't have anything to be shy about and if your rejected its not a bid deal.

If you want you could talk to me when you need to.

Answer 6

Number 1,your not a freak.Don't ever think others are better than you or that your not as interesting or important.We all are alot alike when you figure out what it is that we have in common.If you can bust out a little from your new introverted self that this new situation has created,maybe you will start seeing around you, at school, that there are others like you.You need to find the common ground between you and others.Start noticing the things you like to do and who else is doing them.Summon up some courage and make the first move towards friendships.There may be some rejections,but you have to try.Don't let it discourage you.Before long you will have a new set of friends just like at your old school.Your stuttering will go away after you get your confidence back.No problem,now go make some friends.
