I kinda suck at making new friends and I really need some new ones.
All of the really good friends I had a year or two ago I've become distant from. We've all gone our seperate ways.
3 or 4 of the friends I'm close to right now are really awesome but most of my friends annoy the hell out of me and i cant stand to be around them for more then a couple hours if that or they treat me like shit. And one group I hang out with on occasion...im not even sure if most of them like me, I feel like I'm intruding or like they probably just dont want me there...so obviously I'm not gonna hang with them much anymore.

But yeah...i just need a change of people in my life. and i really need a lot more chill people in my life.
There's this kid Justin in my spanish class who is the funniest kid i've ever met and he's chill as shit.
i want him to be my bestfriend (my bestfriend, Hannah, also wants to be besties with him)..ha... but im too akward around people i dont know to get to know them better and i just dont know how to go about becomming friends with someone. It's not like elementry school where you just ask "you wanna be friends" and then voila! your friends! thats just kinda weird to say shit like that now.

so how do you go about becoming friends with people? (stupid question, i know..)
most of the friends i have now i just kinda fell into being friends with, which is how i guess its supposed to happen, but i know that people meet someone they think is cool and decide they want to be friends with them and kind of have a mission of making them their friends and then they somehow do it without being weird about it and i wanna know how to do that.
so yeah... how do you do that?

You don't. They happen when you just aren't looking.

although I don't agree in deciding you want to be best friends with someone before you get to know them....it always starts with little conversations, that lead to bigger conversations, that lead to hanging out. that's how it works in my mind.

when you find out, let me know.

i think in order to make friends easily you have to be sociable, not an exhausting bitch, friendly, get out there in the world, and be somewhat interesting... so im working on this and i'll let ya know how it goes

yeah my friends have been really shady lately as well.. hmm but i always have my bestie Sarah by my side, she supports me throught everything that has happened and same with the other way around. but yeah i became friends with her through common interests and both of us just being smart asses. you have to kind of be out there with that person if you wanna be friends with them but leave some stuff to be desired. I go to an all girls catholic school and i really only have Sarah there with me so it's hard. But i just find it easier to be friends with guys..they are wayyy chill. just let things develop, they will usually work out. and screw the people that don't like you, it's not worth getting mad/sad over.
