How do I go about making more friends and being more social to broaden my social group (specifically guys, but making friends in general)?

I would start by looking for activities at school that interest you. See what your friends are doing so you have some people that you know already in a group. That will make it a little easier to get integrated in a new activity.

You can also look outside of school for similar groups and clubs. You are young. There are usually a lot of youth clubs and groups in most areas. Again, find something that interests you. Then, you can meet likeminded people that already share an interest with you.

It is much easier to start conversations and get to know people (including boys) when you already share an interest. Just don't lose site on the important things like your studies. Makes sure you give yourself enough time for that, family and friends.

I don't recommend spreading yourself too thin and joining a bunch of groups. You also need to be open to new experiences. Best of luck to you!

I think just being open, talkative and inviting is a good way to go. A lot of people lack those skills or are afraid to be to pushy.

I think one can open the door so to say and let the others join if they like to. A lot of people will probably be grateful if they get seen.

You just gotta put yourself out there and say hi and be friendly. Sure there will be a percentage of people who won’t like you. Just leave them alone.

You can meet people at church. Volunteering. Joining groups and clubs. The list goes on.

Go to more high school gatherings including other high school sporting events...

Since you’re only 16, I assume you’re still in school, in which case you should start there. Start talking to new people in class, strike up conversations with new people during your lunch break.

Find an activity that you enjoy doing and are passionate about that can be done with other people/guys.
