New school, new friends

So I'm starting a new school in two weeks. I know some kids going, but mostly in kinda weird ways like 2 are ex friends and one is an ex best friend and one is my neighbor, but I don't really know her. Um. So I'm not good at meeting people or making new friends. I get either super quiet or super keyed up. Plus I have rbfs which doesn't help. Any advice on making friends?

@raspberryOrange3994 Unfortunately, I am also not the best at making friends because of my shyness. When in a group, I prefer to listen to talking and when I'm not in a group I tend to hide from the rest. I think what has worked for me though is not being afraid to help. That is pretty much the only way I don't have anxiety to insert myself into the situation. If I see someone who needs help, whether it is with something big or small, I will stop and lend a hand. Many times that can lead to a bigger conversation and friendships can form that way.

How has the new school been? How are you?
