Ive been trying to make more friends and god forbid get a girlfriend. The thing is that when I try to talk to people not only do I get really scared, but Ive been told that people are scared of me. Apparently, a big quiet black guy talking to you is scary. So in other words since school started, a couple of weeks ago, I haven't made any new friends and or been able to talk to the 3 friends I got(no classes with them) Any Ideas?

Look, you need to just get out there, i know it sounds rediculous and crazy but you need to do it.  Go up to people and get to know them, get active in things, and use sex panther.  Do you want to know why it will help you? Because sixty percent of the time, it works everytime.

Well you just need to network. If you come on to needy or nervous people will pick it up so just try to relax and talk as if they were a friend from way back - I know I put it easy and it isn't but you just need to hold yourself together, breath and try make it.


Go find some school clubs or something around that area where you can find people with common interest; art classes would also be a good idea. Something not so uptight as a normal English/Math class where it's all work and you never talk.

Build yourself some self esteem, be secure and just try and try. Friendships are not something you build in a day. You first meet people, start working the field and with work create a friendship. If you want to get things you need effort and perseverance.

Don't judge yourself so hard by what people say because ultimately you are your worst judge and all of those self inflicted thoughts will make you insecure and therefore.. even more introvert, quiet and shy.

And, so this Christmas?

You just have to be confident in yourself, and since most people dont have sex panther on hand, you have to actually work at it, the best friend ships are the hardest to make and normally maintain.

maybe start with the person you sit next to. show them that you are a nice guy. then maybe you can sit with him/her for lunch and become friends with their friends.
