I’m an outrageously anxious person. LoL Like I take meds for Anxiety.
I’ve never been good at making friends.
How do y’all do it? How do y’all make new friends, this mythical process eludes my grasp.
Small talk is like the most annoying difficult thing in the world. LoL

Idk, I'm mean and snarky here but in real life I'm basically a mute recluse. I was adopted by a kindly extrovert who dragged me out to social events and such. Most of my friends were made via Magic the Gathering events and Dungeons & Dragons groups at a nerd game/comic book store. Then friends of friends became friends.

I've always just kind of existed, cracked a few jokes, and then boom, people come to talk to me and now I've got a minor cult. I am existentially bad at knowing what to say and when, which lent to a lot of anxiety earlier in my life, but (unless I'm thrown into a brand new situation) I tend to manage nowadays. Also, small talk is seriously overrated. I am either making jokes, (not) threatening people, or dead silent.

I am also bad at making friends, and all my friends have been the ones to initiate the friendship. Still, there are some running themes here. I’ve met all of them either from work/school or from knowing a mutual friend, and they kinda just kept talking to me until I talked back. Thus the answer here is clear! Step outside your comfort zone and just go chatting up all your schoolmates/coworkers!

Sports, work, and just talking to people. Take it slow and develop your social abilities. It will take time but you can do it.

I just chat with people, whether it be at work or wherever, if the other person or people seem to connect and we agree on crap then I have successfully made a new friend. I used to ignore people coldly, but I have changed from my old habits, my friends are different from my select close friends.

Making friends happens naturally. Well, not really but it feels like it does. Friends are made in class, at activities, at events etc etc. You can't force together a friendship. Or any relationship for the matter of the fact. Do you have any hobbies? Start a club! Are you in school? During class, try to start a small conversation with the person next/near you! Find other people like you who have the same interests as you!

Just hang around with a group. You don't have to say much, just get a feel for the group. Whoever you eventually want to spend time with, those are friends.
