*shrug* My little lunch-bunch gang sort of sucks in people from here or there.
I feel like the people who really don't have friends are the people who think that they have no friends. Those are the people always saying "Everyone hates me.. I have no friends, nobody understands me.." etc. I think those people are the saddest because they're the ones who are really blind to other people around them trying to help.
If I was someone's friend and they always complained about how everybody hates them, I would be a tad offended, wouldn't you think? Most people would.
So, I think the best way of making friends is to compliment someone before class starts. Maybe when you're just sitting around before the bell rings or something, just walk up to someone and give them a compliment. Don't have the intention of making friends, just compliment them. Usually, it's very flattering, and people have a positive view on you after. (That is, if you're being honest. There are people out there who can sniff out a lie easily. Don't try them.) Especially if you're talking about artwork. I meet a lot of people by trading sketchbooks and thumbing through them. They don't have to be my friends, really, just you don't think "Everybody hates me!!!" if there are some people you at least talk to.
