How can I become more social?

Most important is you become yourself. You should be comfortable with your own personality and never try to imitate someone just because you perceive him to be more likable. Let your distinct personality appear - people will like you for it. Also, don't try to please everyone.

You seem like in high school. Just be genuinely interested with other people and let them talk about themselves at times. Don't try to be funny. Think everybody is equal so you will not be intimidated when approaching anyone. Talk to a popular person as you talk to an average guy- relaxed and not have to put up a front.

Try joining some kind of sport or group for people with similar interests to you - this could be an informal soccer group, or a serious crew team, or a photography class or anything really. It'll get you meeting new people and needn't interfere with your other friends.

Do you have your group's phone numbers? If so you can call or text them. The trick to being more social, is that you have to work for it. If you want to do something on the weekend YOU have to make the plans. People are lazy. They'll want to go, but they don't want to do the work (and it is work, calling all those people, arranging where you'll go) that it takes to plan something.

It's really hard. Sometimes you just have to walk up and say hi. Try to find someone who seems like you or who you think is interesting or who also needs a friend. Just start talking. Either it will work or it won't.

"Popular" is something overated you don't want to become..

Just push yourself to spend time with your friends, suggest

going to the movies, bowling, a concert or something. You

don't need to wait around for someone to call you to hangout,

just ask them yourself if they can do something over the weekend.
