how do I make friends?

I have got friends and I want to meet more people but I'm horribly shy and awkward. I always smile at people if they look at me but I feel like I have to laugh at everything they do to come across polite. I don't want to be a loner in my lessons and I haven't really found the knack of talking to new people. I have self confidence issues and feel really embarrassed and paranoid that someone's talking about me behind my back. does any one know how to not be so self conscious?

    First: only laugh at things that are meant to be funny.

    Make sure to have a bit of your own sense of humor. Try really, really hard to have a bit of confidence. Maybe try starting a conversation. Ask people what their name is, small talk and such. If you are kind to everyone, are confident, have a bit of humor, and are ready to have fun, you should find quite a few new people.
