Okay first day of high school went terribly!....?

Question

Well I'm at a catholic private high school were I don't know anybody so I'm trying to get to know people but I'm really shy and prefer for them to come to me. I went to sat down at lunch at a table but was just ignored. I know that everyone's nervous, and to different levels, but everyone's already going around meeting other people and i'm stuck in the back alone. I don't want to have no friends, and if i wait longer tehy'll settle into their groups and i'll be stuck at the back still. any advice?

Answer 1

This is going to sound funny

But put on a different personality, A different character!

No one knows who you really are, Only you do, You are the only one that knows your shy. No one else knows that you're not the Hottest kid in the school or the Bravest, or the Smartest!

You could be all those, if you just put on a happy face.

Answer 2

Aww. just hang in there. Try to branch out a little bit. When I started highschool (technically, my highschool system starts in 8th grade), I was the same way. really shy, just kind of swayed back and forth between groups but kind of being ignored. Eventually I branched out a littlebit, tried to overcome my shyness and found people I had things in common with. Eventually I found my best friends. And I really didn't become friends with them until sophomore year, so you have time. Don't worry about it, and just try to be yourself and you'll eventually find a group to hang out with.

Answer 3

just think about it you know you don't want to be alone and they aren't coming to you so you should defiantly just find a nice person and say hi.are you as nervous as i am?CUZ i just need a friend here.it should work out fine.

Answer 4

alright, being shy myself I know it can be difficult making new friends, just try and talk to people, people that sit near you in class, ask them what lunch they have, what classes they are taking. Help them in class if they have a question. If youre on the same lunch and youre starting to get to know eachother, ask to sit with them and meet some of their friends.

Answer 5

You can try to work on reaching out to people.  Typically people will not just come to you and you will have to go out there to meet people even though this may be hard for you.

You may also want to try to join a club that holds an interest for you so that you can meet people that have similar interests as you.

High school can be hard.  Just make sure you don't settle for negative peers and seek out those that will be good for you as well as you for them.

Answer 6

Sounds like you've already answered your own question. f you stay in the back, then no one will come to you, therefore, go to them. Just be really open and try to meet new people. If they aren't really friendly or receptive, go find some other people who are actually worth your time.  

Answer 7

things are going to be better i bet you. you're going to be familiar with your school later on which will increase your confidence and comfort zone. then since you'll hav gone to school quite awhile people will get to recognize you and you can strike conversations. don't be stalky. talk about something school related before you go onto other topics. try to be confident not weird and look like you're putting great effort just to talk. CALM DOWN!!!

good luck

Answer 8

Don't worry about it, it is like that for everyone. If you join a sports team you can make friends easily.

My friend went through the same experience when he switched to a Catholic school. He had no one to talk to at lunch so he sat in the bathroom. He didn't do a fall sport either. But, by the end of the year, he had a ton of friends.

Answer 9

First of all it sounds like you have a confidence issue. Work it out. You're an amazing unique person and anyone would be lucky to be your friend. So just walk in looking like you own the place. Listen to the conversations around you and find the perfect opportunity to jump in.
