How to make Friends at this new school?
I need help! I just started going to a new high school, in the middle of the semester and I am a junior. It's been 3 days and everyone is very nice but I don't know how to make real friends. Im so used to having the same friends for the past 7 years, I don't know what to do!
In all my classes, no one sits near me that isnt a guy. So please please please tell me what to say or do?! I'm really awkward and shy at first so this has been very difficult for me

iFeel Like When You Try Too Hard Then It's Just Making It Worse. Just Relax, Ask Calm, Nice And Let Things Fall Into place, You Can't Expect Everyone To Be Your BestFriend, Specially Since It's Only Been 3 Days, Like iSaid, Dont Worry About It, Just Act Like Your Doing Okay, Your Happy, Your Participating In Class, Your Being Friendly, And Just Relax, There Will Be Thise Cocky Mean People, Butttt When You Graduate You Come To Realize That Thise People Do Not Matter For S**t lol, They Simply Become Nothing Haha, So Just Focus On Your Grades And Have Fun With It, Take It Step By Step, It's Like A Ride! :)

Give off the aura that you are friendly and approachable. I know it's hard, but try your best to be confident and not feel insecure about the fact that you don't really know anyone. Eventually, someone is bound to initiate a conversation with you. When that happens, be yourself and try to relax. It's not as if you haven't had friends in the past. Pretend you're talking to one of your friends from your old school and you shouldn't come across as shy or awkward. It may feel difficult now because you're new, but you will settle in and make friends eventually. In the meantime, try not to stress over that and instead focus on your studies.
