Freshman Tips? 💖❤️

Question

So i’m a ‘soon to be freshman’ and i’m really nervous. People always say to be yourself, but i’m afraid of being myself. I’m afraid of what others think. help? Also I’m going to a school that none of my friends are going too. i’m really shy so i’m not really good at making new friends. Any tips?

Answer

Be friendly to as many people as possible. Don't be afraid to branch out and talk to new people, everybody else is just as scared as you are. The more people you talk to, the easier the transition will be for you. Most importantly, if friend groups are starting to change, LET THEM. I promise you it'll be for the best.

Answer

Honestly if you look friendly and approachable, ppl will come up to you. But also take the others advice below cuz it’s good. 
It’s the same thing with almost everyone. As soon as you hit junior or senior year, something clicks in everyone’s minds like a “ Idgaf” type of mindset and it’s the best thing ever.  Nobody cares about what you do , everyone’s focused on themselves. 
Worst comes to worst, people judge you... who cares? Nobody that isn’t your friend is going to remember you after HS anyways! You only have one life to live so don’t be miserable because your afraid of others fleeting thoughts.

So Glow doesn’t let me copy and paste from another comment, but this is what I said to someone else struggling with the same thing!❤️❤️

Answer

If you’re shy, and your school has a book/reading club, you should consider joining! You might meet like-minded people there and it would help you connect and make friends! Even if it isn’t a book club etc., try to find one or more to join! It’ll help, trust me. I’ve been in so many clubs and have met so many amazing people that way.
Also, don’t be afraid of being yourself. Pretending to be someone you’re not will only draw in a bunch of fake people and you don’t need that in your life. People are always gonna talk sh!t, so don’t listen to em’. Try to seek out people who seem genuine, and also don’t be afraid of talking to new people. You could find your best friend at your new school!

Answer

Try to join a club or two, or tryout for a sport! Even if you are too shy to talk to new people, at least one person in your club or sport will try to make friends with you!

Answer

I’m really shy too, but I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone that way my freshman year can be different :)

Answer

Don’t be to worried about not going to a school with your friends, I didn’t know 2 of my closest friends until high school. High school brings about lots of changes :) as for other advice, work hard in class and be prepared! Try to make 1 friend in class and have them introduce you to their friends and you’ll find someone you click with. And for the love of god don’t stop walking in the middle of the hallway
