Making New Friends

It can be difficult to make new friends, particularly if there are no similarities, or there is a difference in the apparent status of each party.

Often, just meeting new people or a group can be very daunting, you may feel shy or embarrassed and may feel like you don’t have anything to offer the group, and so you become quiet and distant. If you feel like this, don’t worry, this is very common and most people will be feeling the same as you are.

We often feel shy and nervous when we meet new people because we find ourselves outside of our comfort zone. This is why we don’t experience these feelings when with people we know, because communicating with them is within our comfort zone. Spending time with old friends is wonderful and it can often be new and refreshing to make new friends and understand the diversities of the human personality.

If you struggle to meet new friends and feel you lack the confidence to push yourself in new relationships, why not take our confidence test and see how we can help you develop the confidence to tackle new situations.

Overall you need to trust the people you are friends with and if they are real friends then they will respect and trust you too.
