I can't make friends.

[Protoclown]

Damn, I guess I'm lucky. I have quite a lot of very good friends (and a good fucking lot of you guys on here whom I've met I consider good friends as well). It helps to have a group of friends (or several different groups, so you can be with different crowds and do different things) that all like to hang out together.

Jamesman, I know this sounds cheesy, but you should find a group of people in your area that play D&D and hook up with them. Most gaming stores have bulletin boards where groups who are looking for players advertise. It's a good way to get to know people (although some of them tend to be uber-geeks who you'd rather avoid). I've actually made a lot of friends through playing games like that, but it's also easy to make friends at your job or school.

I made a whole lot of friends my freshman year of college just by discovering people on my hall who had similar interests. It's not that hard, and I'm by no means an extrovert (I fall exactly halfway between intro and extro on the Kiersey sorter)...just find a common interest and roll with that. Hell, I've made one or two friends just by wearing a t-shirt that strikes up a conversation about whatever is on it.
