I know this is hard but really there's nothing you can...once you get where your going you'll make new friends..no one likes moving and leaving friends behind..just email and visit now and then but you have to move so try to be positive and make the best of it...

Join new groups of people, joining activities is the best way to get new friends, start talking to people that are around you that you have never talked to.. socialize..

So you want to make friends now because you feel lonely .... does this about sum it up?\n\nStart slow; call your "best" friend and arrange a lunch.  During lunch tell your friend what you've told all of us and ask for his help in getting you out more socially.\n\nOr, make new friends.  Go to an event where people are put together by common interest - a book club, gardening club, whatever you are interested in.\n\nSince you've spent your life being alone, here's a rule to being a friend that will help - show interest in the other person, the friendship isn't all about you!  Ask questions about their life, most people love to share stories of their lives; after all, they want to share themselves too!

British people are oddly formal about making friends - they probably won't talk to you unless you've been introduced to them by someone else. \n\nMaking friends therefore requires having friends - or at least aquaintances - a tricky catch-22 if you've just moved to the UK.\n\nLots of UK socialising revolves around that very British institution, the pub. Alcohol is a great liberator. If you're planning to work, you might find yourself invited to the pub by workmates, and this would be a good opportunity to start meeting people.\n\nIf you have specific interests, this is also a good way to meet people. There are lots of sports clubs, events and societies in and around Essex. \n\nThere is also a UK South African Society http://www.saclub.com/ - this might be a good way to meet people with which you have things in common. Once you make friends there, they will surely introduce you some of their UK friends, and then you'll be off...

Introduce yourself with a smile and offer a handshake. After that, ask the person where they are from, etc. Be yourself, and be at ease. Many people are just as uncomfortable as you are. And, most people want to be friendly.

Really casting the net far aren't you?  What country are you trying to escape from?  My guess the phillipines.  Good luck finding a "friend".\n\nJust go to a chat room entitled Australia or Google "Australia chat".

I've made friends with lots of international people through www.hi5.com. You can try www.friendster.com and www.myspace.com too.

You can do that on chat.yahoo.com\nHowever, I would suggest you to not look at that as some sort of healer for any problems you might have faced with having friends. I can tell you that is notgoing to help at all. If you  arel ucky, you might get a few good people to chat with for some time, but that is rare , i mean, if you have to make sensible converations on chat, it should be either in places meant for it, and such places are very rare, or you have to do that wuth people you know. \n\nI would suggest adding your old mates to your yahoo messenger list, and chatting with them instead.

Talk to people. Where ever you are, talk. you will find others that you are comfortable with, and have similar opinions. Be yourself, \n\nExamples: Open a door for someone as they leave the store, comment on the weather, the store, if the other person is open to you, conversation will take hold. If a neighbor two houses down is out in the yard, start talking. Ask if they want help with what ever task they may be doing at the time. Or ask for assistants for yourself - people generally like to be needed.\nThe EASY part is finding friends.\nThe HARD thing is keeping them...\nRemember; Every body likes to talk about their self, talk about others, offer their advise and experiences........Just don't go out of the comfort zone! To know what that is, think of subjects that you would be un-easy talking to a stranger about! ... ... You can take it from here!\n\nSee how easy that was? If we had been talking in person, you would have the start of a new friendship!

You're really brave--it takes a lot of courage to walk away from people who are basically toxic.So the first thing I would do is to stop worrying about sounding desperate. Instead, think of your situation as pretty much the same as someone who's just moved into your city and needs to make friends--you've given yourself a fresh start, make the most of it!\n\nBelow is the link to craigslist for your city--check the entries for "community"--there are lots of events you can go to on your own and hopefully meet people who share the same interests or expose you to new ones. There should also be listings in your local newspaper or alternative weekly. Sign up for activities that you've never tried before, volunteer, go to gallery art openings, wine tastings or free talks at the museums and university. Join bulletin boards and groups based on your new interests....before long you should be worried about how to find enough hours in your day to fit in all your new friends and interests!

Many countries have people who speak English for the benefit of tourists. Emigrants need to learn the language of the country they plan to live in. You should have some skills or a trade that will lead you to employment. Find out where other Nationals of your home country have settled. Having other emigrants from home will help you get started where ever you locate. Find some one who has made the trip for a pen pal on the Internet to help you integrate into your new society.\nGood Luck

Other than asking here the easiest way to make friends in yahoo is to go to a chat room.  Strike up a conversation and you may make a new friend.

Be yourself and say the things you like.  People in the US are generally cold and into themselves.  If you want to start conversation and say little: ask questions about the other person(s) [where they came from, what they know about your country, why do they order/buy what they buy- you've heard it is good for the skin, how do they find the placve you are in].  You will learn vocabulary and gain valuable speaking skills (considering you converse with intellegent folk).  Just talk to the person in the Starbuck's line, they should be good folk.  Go to organic food markets- those people are also nice people.\nGood luck.

Yes! Change and missing your family/friends can do that.The familiar is comforting to some people. You can find others from your country and make new friends to minimize that feeling. If possible email or write frequent letters back home also. Peace.
