Can I make friends even if I am not very outgoing?
Yes. Even if you are not very outgoing, you can find opportunities to make friends. In classes, seminars, clubs, and campus events, meeting the same people repeatedly can make it easier to talk naturally. Rather than forcing yourself to interact with large groups, you can start with greetings or brief conversations about class and build a few relationships at your own pace.
Key points
- Try greeting someone sitting nearby in the same class.
- Choose a club or small-group activity that matches your interests.
- Value relationships you can maintain comfortably rather than focusing on the number of friends.
Things to check
- The timing and opportunities for making friends vary from person to person.
