perhaps the easiest thing to do is begin with simple hello's, slowly but surely phase your way into a friend group or class. By starting with a hello, you turn yourself into someone that they exchange hello's with in the halls, and from there you just have to look for more opportunities. It might be scary, I know that well enough, but it just takes leaving your comfort zone a few times to make a difference.
To make friends, you need to be a bit social.
Talk to everyone/anyone.
Recognise the people who make you feel bad about yourself.
Remove them even from your acquaintance list.
This way, you'll know who is worth your time.

Stay blessed.

This must be difficult for you. Are you anti social because your friends make you feel bad about yourself?
Take deep breaths, and just be your true self. The more you socialize with others, the more easier it will become to be more sociable. It's going to be hard at first, but just think positive and not to worry as much. People CAN judge, and people WILL be on your bad side, but as long as you stay positive and don't think of the negative ways, you will be alright my dear. I had a hard time making friends because I was so anti social and my dad is the same way. But my dad told me to stay positive and to not be on the dark side of world, and to open a window and see the sunshine and the flowers blooming.
Well, from personal experience, i had those same exact problems. It was like no one really wanted to truly be my friend. Like they were just using me or pitying me. As i got older , i had to learn how to love myself before i ever found the right people to love me for the real me and the friends who would bring me up. Put yourself and your feelings first before those of the people how are only breaking you down. Learning self love and acceptance is how youll find true real friends in life. LOve you for you!
