How do ppl make friends?
idk how to do it. If I search for friends online I probably only talk to them for one day and that's it, I cant start or continue conversations. I'm scared of calls and I feel like everything that comes out of my mouth is embarrassing, plus my hands literally shake when I text anyone. Even if I do get a friend I always say the wrong things and then they don't talk to me anymore.
I feel like I'm broken or something bc everyone else makes it look so easy.(╯°Д °)╯
Hmm..
I actually help socially awkward kids and kids with autism with strategies and role playing conversations to help them make friends and communicate better. It can be taught and practiced. You can do it. It’s just another skill to learn and everyone can improve. Here’s a few points that are easy(ish).

I never got any private messages here and I probably prefer reading y'all's replies than y'all talking to me lol but I guess I wanna be friends to someone who'll stare at me and I'll stare at them then we both laugh because of how ugly we looked like into each other's eye lmao like 'u look like a monkey's ass and I probably look like a rotten mouse...... reply
For online friends, find a discord server that matches your interests! The more you chat on there, the more you’ll know the regulars. I used to use yggdrasil (a bot) to talk with people of other servers, and most of them are more than happy to invite you. Otherwise, see if some of your current friends have any. Good luck! Plus, don’t worry abou...... reply
I’m the same way and stopped trying hard, (like planning to meet people, texting someone to be friends, ETC.) I like my friendships to be a natural meeting, I feel like people click with that person WAY easier/faster and it just feels more comfortable.
Trying too hard might feel forced so start easy and just reply/answer questions as if they as...... reply
To be honest at first I pretend to be interested on what they're doing/have without making them uncomfortable. Maybe ask about where do they buy their outfit or other things that maybe came from a franchise like their stickers or keychain. For example: “Hey/excuse me, is that.........? I think I saw that before but I don't know where to buy it.�...... reply
