How can i make friends?


Question:
i'm 19 and not in college because i'm pathetic (and don't think theres a career out there for me) and i have social anxiety and gad. also i haven't really had friends since i was 15. i was too nervous in high school and too deep in depression to even bother trying anything. i don't know how to open up to people. so uh yeah here i am alone and behind in life. even when i try to be outgoing now it only works for maybe a few minutes and it feels like my entire energy is sucked away. so how can i make friends? i mean people will probably notice i don't have friends and think i'm some kind of freak. i can't approach people and i'm unapproachable. should i even bother? even if i do gain someones attention i won't be able to keep it cause i'm severely socially inept. actually i hate talking; don't see the point in it.

Answers:
Play games, or do social service. That way you will get to meet people, and some of them may become your friends. And, most importantly, it will take your mind off the problem. You seem to be thinking too much about yourself.
well dont look at the internet to solve ur problems you should make ral life freinds and always remember if you dont make a move they never will!
Hi, I sometimes feel the same way, my problem is one day I can be sweet as heck and the next bite the head offa puppy. If you need to vent I'm here
It's not worth ending it, some where there is someone who would love you for a friend!
Work on your problem areas. See social phobia, anxiety, and read the section on depression, on pages 9, 6, and 2. Volunteer as a solid foundation in reality for the building of self esteem, through daily affirmations. It will also put you into contact with positive, decent people, who, you will find, it is easier to interact with. Approach people with a sensible question to ask, at first, and use the self confidence websites, on page 2. Then reconsider college, as you improve.
by the sound of it its your attitude. you can change that. you just have to decide that thos qualities you described are the way not to make new friends then what it is, you need to change you attiude. i can be your friend but i social i little diffrent to you. i can always help to make you change your idea on be social.
