How can I start talking to people this year?

confidence is the key then everything goes naturally

first talk to your classmates about some studying materials or anything common between you and them

you can work in groups with them when possible and show them you care about making friends with them and you should know that people are so much accepting than you imagine . if you said sth stupid or made sth weird they'll not reject you as you think . Get to know people and speak like what you want to speak i bet they'll love you . Good luck

i can help you if u want my mail is takebreath65@yahoo.com

Im a 16 yr male who happens to be very outgoing. I make friends easily and am typically well liked. My sugguestion would be just act casual and introduce yourself. if you say something like "what a great game" or "i hate this class" or just comment people will get the impression your approachable and may respond. Ill often say something like "ohh nice shoes" or something and if they respond introduce myself from there and see where it goes. Being presentable and open is the way to go.

SAy hello and how are you today. Compliment them on their outfits. If you see a book that they have, ask them a question about that class or subject, anything to get the ball rolling. As you ask small questions, they will reveal more to you and you can ask follow up questions about their answers and responses. AS you get to know more about them, talk to them about the things they like and themselves. ths will get the conversations going and you will get better with practice.

say a negative thing and make fun of the teacher it gets everyone going and start talking about how cute their clothes are

ask them for help with your classes or what they are doing? let them know you were shy and would love to get to know people more. get a book about dating. it help me.

Be yourself it will come natural.
