How to make friends?

I changed schools for various reasons in grade 10 and even though I knew a lot of people from the new school it took a long time for me to make real friends and it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. But in the end things worked out much better in the new school and the only thing I regret is not going there sooner :)

In university I made one friend and we got along quite well but she isn't someone I'd miss if she went away. We still make contact now and then and that's enough for me.

Other than that, my 'friends' from high school were mostly guys and lost interest in our friendship as soon as I got a boyfriend so I'm glad I got rid of that bunch :D

I have one best friend and I'm completely happy with how things are :)

Thanks a lot for your input. Yeah I think I am going to take the risk and jump onto the next university, not sure how many of my courses they going to credit me for though :D. My high school friends (close friends) are at other universities, I keep in contact with one all the time :D and MyBB keeps me company, got some series and Anime to watch, some manga to read, so I am not too bored :D

I do know quite a few people in my class, but they annoy me, really. Some of them are only happy to see me when they need something from me :mad: There are times where I wish I could talk to someone, but that happens just for a couple of seconds (the thought having no friends kicks in...). I don't even know if I could bring myself to tell my close friend(s) and folks I'm a loner :D

Something I also found with my a lot of my 'friends' these days is that very few of them just drop by to say hi. Is it just a changing of the times or what? I also noticed that while you are the life of the party, you have many 'friends', but when you stop doing all that, it almost seems like they stop being your friends... i mean wtf man?
 
You sound like one of my friends , generally and strangely enough I look up to him even if he thinks his not a likeable person

This seems to be my experience. There's a lot to be said for being the "organiser" of social events etc even if you invite a handful of people from different "circles" and have a braai or something those people can meet each other etc but you're still the "link" so likely you will be there/invited whenever anything else happens.
