Sometimes making friends just comes easier to certain people, but socially awkward people think it is one of the most difficult tasks especially when you’re coming to college and meeting all new people for the first time. You may have had your group of friends in high school and they accepted your awkwardness and embraced it because they got to know you. You overcame it with them because you grew up together, but what do you do when you don’t know anybody and are trying to make friends when you are socially awkward?
10. Make sure you know all details before a night out so you can somewhat prepare.
9. Make a joke about how you’re awkward. This will make the group of people you’re with think it’s not such a big deal to you since you can make fun of it, so you must be pretty cool and relaxed even if you’re dying on the inside.
8. Laugh and smile a lot. If you’re a girl, people will just think you are cute and if you’re a guy, people will think you’re easygoing and friendly.
7. Say hi to everybody even if it pains you to do so. Then they’ll remember you as that nice person who went out of their way to say hello.
6. Just go to that party, even if you really don’t want to. People will notice you and be more compelled to talk to you every time.
