QuestionHow can I make someone talk to me without talking to them first?Community AnswerLook at them. Eye contact is the first sign of interest. If they see you looking at them, they will know that you are interested. Also, make yourself look approachable. If you are staring down at your phone or a book, or listening to music all the time, nobody will try to talk to you. They will think you are socially awkward or that you don't want to talk to anyone in the room.

QuestionHow do I start hanging out with a group that I barely know?Community AnswerWork on befriending one person in the group, and then ask him to introduce you to the rest of the group.

QuestionHow do I get into the popular group?Community AnswerIf the popular group includes nice and friendly people, then just become good friends with a person from the popular group and then they can introduce you to the other people. In my opinion, popularity doesn't matter but good friendship does so if the people in the popular group are gossipers, leave them alone and find better friends.

QuestionI have a friend and I feel she doesn't want to hang out with me anymore. When I see her with someone else I feel jealous and lonely, but it is hard for me to talk to her. What do I do?Community AnswerIt's never easy, but talk to her and find out what's going on. Maybe you offended her without knowing it, or maybe she's just trying to make some new friends. If that's the case, make some new friends yourself.

QuestionWhat do I do if someone doesn't want to hang out with me outside of school?Community AnswerRespect their choice. You can't be close friends with everybody. Maybe this person is just busy and doesn't have time for a new friendship right now, maybe there's something going on at home, or maybe they just don't feel like they really click with you. Just accept that they don't want to get any closer and move on.

QuestionWhat should I do if the people I am mingling with don't seem interested in me even when I am being energetic and positive?Community AnswerWhenever I'm around people, I ask them about themselves, and that seems to get them a little more interested in the conversation.

QuestionWhat should I do if I ask a friend a question and she doesn't even look me in the eye, answering to someone else?Community AnswerTry to ask the question again when she can hear you.
