Just learn how to ask people about themselves and when they answer be a very good listener and show interest in what they are saying.  People will think you are a great friend and a great person.  It's amazing what will happen.  You will become the most popular person in the group.

You have to rely on your family members, for one thing, until you get a new set of friends.  You also have to put yourself out there, in places where you can meet people who have your same interests.  In other words, you have to begin replacing friends who had once been close confidant to you with other people.\n\nOne thing you might try is to keep a journal -- even a computerized version -- and write things down that you want to discuss with your friends if they were there for you.\n\nThose of us reading your post can empathize with you -- don't think that we do not.  Sometimes friends become so close that they almost become like brothers and sisters to us -- and when these friendships fade, it is like losing a family member.\n\nGood luck now.

I count my blessings! It's wonderful to make that kind of connection with people. My family does this often. We have a lot of non-family family members - I've always thought of it as a kind of adoption. It's really a great way to liven up any family gathering - it's nice to have all the family get together for Thanksgiving, but bringing newly 'adopted' family friends always spices things up. :)\n\nWhen I was your age, I had a couple families. My best friend's family was great - it was like having twice as many people care about me. At that age, it really helped me. 13's a rough age to be...so much is going on... I'm 25 now, and I still go visit my 'other' families. \n\nPeople used to say that it takes a village to raise a child. While you're not exactly a child, it's the same idea. The more people who care about you, the better. Don't worry too much - this is really a good thing.

Approach each person you meet as an individual. You might be pleasantly surprised about how much you have in common with seemingly different people. Sometimes parents actually change due to their children's influence.

Make acquaintances before making friends. not all acquaintances become frineds. Don't be afraid to meet with new people, this is the only way I can think of.

Be patient, don't push (or try to hurry the friend thing)be nice, open yourself to all ages, learn manners and use them, be polite and friendly, volunteer somewhere-get involved, don't take all your friends time-go slow, don't pester, be helpful when you see an opportunity, smile often, don't gossip even if your friend does, don't find fault or be unkind to anyone. \n\nGet involved in something-volunteer at the hospital or animal shelter-this could change many things. Go to games or school functions, be friends with all not just a few.

Since your family says that you are an Angel, I believe that every one that you know is your FRIENDS,, BUT ,, YOU NEED ,, SPECIAL FRIEND... So look for the one whom share you the heavy things, driven by self feeling of responsibility to you. Then look at hem/her with NEW SPECIAL APPROACH, Then you will find your Friend. (*~*)

Family is huge!!  They are your backbones.  The protectors.  Something that you really need to keep up with.

As I posted earlier:\n\nEasiest way to get friends is to become interested in other people. Look around for people with similar interests. Ask them questions about what they think about those interests. Get to know them through common interests, and you're on your way to making friends.\n\nBe their friend more than trying to make them your friend.

First you have to show yourself as being friendly!  Approach people with confidence, and a smile.  If this doesn't work forget about it!  I know a friend that will be your friend for life, and will never let you be lonely again.  GOD.

Although it is important to be nice to everyone, you need not try to be friends to just any one. Rememember, it is better to have one or two close friends that share your values than to have many friends that might want to use or exploit you. \n\nDevelope your hobbies and interest that will bring you into contact with others that share your values.  If you are the new person in a school, church, neighborhood club,etc  and you feel left out of the group, seek out another new person or others that do not seem to have friends and start your own click. Always choose your friends rather than having people choose you.  Be happy doing things alone until you do develop friendships. You don't need friends to go out to eat, go to a movie and such.\n\nAs far as being courage to be friendly, "fake it 'till it comes."  Tell your self everyday, "I am a wonderful person. I can be friendly. I may not be perfect, but no one is. Others may reject my friendship, but it doesn't mean that anything is wrong with me."   Also, make a list of the things you are fearful of doing such as smileing, saying hi, inviting someone for lunch etc.  Start by doing the least fearful on your list. Do it while afraid until you are no longer fearful.  Than move on to the next item. Do that until you gain confidence. In other words, take baby steps.  \n\nIf you continue to have trouble making friend, you might want to seek treatment for social phobia.
