I want to know why I haven't got loads of friends and how I can make some?
Hi Katie,

Making friends can be hard, however if you make the effort it should increase your chances of doubling your friendship circle.
Do you have a passion, hobbies or interests? If you do then maybe join a club that gathers these like-minded people together. You will have an instant bond over the reason you are there which makes conversation that bit easier.
Of those friends you do have- look at their extended social circle- are there any people you feel you could click with from there? If so then ask your existing friends to introduce you and who knows what can happen from there.
Say yes to social gatherings. If your current friends have parties, get together, events- try to go to them all so you increase the amount of people you are coming into contact with as much as possible. The more people you meet- the more likely you are to connect with some if not all.
Is there something you want to learn about? Perhaps you have always been curious over photography or want to take up a French speaking class? When people are thrust into a situation where they are vulnerable, then they are more likely to bond quicker because they are all in the same boat and nervous. If you have a desire to expand your mind in something educational or leisurely, then this could help you also to meet new people.
