What do you guys do to make friends?

I guess this question sounds really stupid, essentially. Ever since I moved 2 months ago, I just can't seem to find anyone that's interested in me. There's only this one guy but I think I kinda fucked up last night (long story short, I ate some shrooms and it brought out the nasty in me). I don't know, everyone that I've talked to is nice, but I'm just really shy. No one's asked for my phone or anything so I just feel so lonely here. I've just tried so hard I don't know what it is, if it's what I wear, what I say, or I'm just that shy. I just feel awful Any advice anyone have? Would love to hear some at this point, honestly

I have the same problem. I want to talk to people but I just clam up around them. I've gotten used to being lonely and I hate it

If you brought out the nasty with some guy I bet he is going to call you back for sure ... Unless your definition of nasty is shitting on his chest or something.
Your location says CO, you can always go smoke weed with random people until you find a group that clicks. If you have shrooms and weed it shouldn't be that hard to socialize, we would be great friends if I met somebody who liked the same substances I do. It's actually hard for me to meet people who like to trip. They are all controlled by their significant others.
I don't know if there is one but you can go to a Colorado shroomery gathering.

Find some kind of hobby where people socialize or get chatty with people at work. It can take a while to make new friends, but if you keep doing stuff then you'll find a few buddies sooner or later. Also good drug friends are usually harder to find because it takes some trust to break the law with people (assuming they're not idiots).

half hits of good acid is very social experience.
Also, join some kind of group of something that interests you. Photography group for example. Search online in your area, might find something.
And go to head shops in Colorado and hang out, you might meet some friends with similar interests

You have to find common interests with people. Once you do that, getting together is pretty much inevitable.
Being shy makes it harder, but it's still doable. Keep chatting people up. Maybe take the initiative and offer to hangout with someone.

my advice to you is to read the dozens of other posts just like yours. I for one am tired of giving out the same advice.
how do i make friends?, how do i get the girl/guy?, see what i mean?....... before you post a thread read through the similar threads to see if your question has been asked. now sometimes things have to be asked again.... but the posts like yours are getting to be once a week....

When you say shy, do you mean that it can be hard to be completely open? Or do you mean you're like the quiet observer in the corner who has nothing but one word answers to every question?

First of all, chill out with the social anxiety (via exposure). The fear of social situations and duality of fearing not having enough social situations is illogical and doing you no good.
How do you break that? As others are saying, get out of the house more. Do things you enjoy and find like minded people. Don't aggressively seek opportunities in what little social time you have, just start working more, volunteering more, and going to more social events and your social phobias will fade, your social skills will raise, and it'll be straight up routine.
Start with work/volunteer stuff first, because people are less focused on each other and there's more impetus to get along for the task at hand.

For me, personally, it takes a while to warm up to people. Like a cat. That's okay. Making friends doesn't happen overnight. Just try to be patient with yourself and others.

I'm in the same boat as you OP-except it's been like this for about 5 years now. My only remaining friend is someone who I met in second grade but he is in the military so these days we only talk once a month or so and I've only seen him about 4 times in the last ten years. (So take my advice however you want it/for what it's worth) Me personally, I'm done with "friendships" that are based on doing drugs together or meeting through the drug scene. It sounds like you are looking for some true friends. For me, I have never met a true friend or someone who hasn't stabbed me in the back who I've met through "the drug scene". Just my advice but if you're looking for some true friends try to stay away from meeting people who are involved in drugs and/or only want to hang out when it involves doing drugs together. I can't really tell you how to make friends or where to make friends because I don't even know myself but I hope my advice helps you in some way. Take care OP. Good luck.

Ok this is a good post to respond to overall... I feel you when you talk about the "drug scene" friends. That's what I've been experiencing. I've tripped like 5-6 times since I've been here, smoked every day, RCs, etc. It's not that I haven't tried. Yall believe me when I say I've tried everything. I've gone out, done everything I'm "supposed" to do to get friends. But nada. Now I'm just starting to think that I'm just a lousy person to be around. People just use me and abandon me within a month or two when they finally start to really know me. It's frustrating. Especially when you're being used for your looks/ sex. I dont know yall. I'm just really desperate. I just needed a place to talk to people, read opinions. I guess it's just a matter of trying much harder. I'm just really tired of not having anyone, being left out, you know. Not easy at all for me, especially because I'm not from the States.

Be careful with pursuing ideals. Contrived relationships are valid types, according to Adler. Just don't make those your only relationships.
I used to avoid relatioships because people weren't up to my standards and found it to be a defense mechanism to further my phobic avoidance. "True" friends, by your ideals probably don't exist. People come and go based on situations and directions of growth.
Stop holding out, life is passing you by! Just take baby steps.
A mod should probably move this to sexuality/relationships, or physical and mental well-being.

I can be pretty socially awkward. I've gone to countless concerts solo and been a wallflower. After a while it becomes easier & easier to shoot the shit with people, and you start to see the same people at different concerts and get to know familiar faces.

Try being slightly more outgoing but not intrusive or insertive. Try to let people know you're looking for something to do. Just casually ask people from work/class if they know of anything cool going on during the upcoming weekend.
It gets harder the older you get. It's easier if you work with people around your same age. I have plenty of friends at work but none that I hang out with after work.
Most all of the friends I have now are from high school and college. The only new friends I've met are through my brother and my wife.

I definitely agree that going to concerts is one of the best ways to meet people. I'm in college and this is one of the times in my life where I'm supposed to be making the most friends. Freshmen year I made barely any friends, or any friends like the friends I used to have growing up with at least. However, since I started to go to concerts and festivals last fall (sophomore year) I've really become a lot more social. Yes, the music scene does involve a lot of drugs but that's not what makes everyone friends in the culture.
Converging and listening to music is something humans have been doing for thousands of years. This is why festivals are so awesome to me because it seems like such a primitive thing to be a part of and people may even act a little primitive; no one gives a fuck there. If no one gives a fuck then communication is EASY. I've taken what I've learned socially from these environments and apply it to my life outside of music and it's really helped me a lot.
Another thing unrelated to going to festivals to gain more friends is the idea of loving yourself. If you aren't going to love and appreciate yourself, then not a lot of people are going to want to be around you. This doesn't mean to get all cocky and shit but for most people it isn't fun to be around someone who just self-loathes all the time and tries to make other people feel sorry for them. That's something I've learned from living with one of my roommates..

There's only this one guy but I think I kinda fucked up last night (long story short, I ate some shrooms and it brought out the nasty in me). I don't know, everyone that I've talked to is nice, but I'm just really shy. No one's asked for my phone or anything so I just feel so lonely here. I've just tried so hard I don't know what it is, if it's what I wear, what I say, or I'm just that shy. I just feel awful Any advice anyone have? Would love to hear some at this point, honestly
Concerts is a good suggestion.
Another way is to join some groups or classes in a field/area that interests you. It brings together a bunch of people with similar interests and at that point you just say hello.
Sometimes I meet people I started talking to on facebook.
Go to local hang out spots for people your age.
Go to the local college and just say hello to people.
Tell yourself you are the (wo)man in the room
I also agree with festivals, see if there are any local ones near you. Ive met A LOT of friends that way.

I dose them with acid when they aren't looking, then i strap them down and make them look at photos of me as i grew up, and any footage of me growing up.
The whole time they are viewing this i change their wardrobe so that it's identical to mine, change the contacts in their phone so that every contact comes back to me.
While they watch everything they listen to a tape of me chanting "be my friend, i am your friend, you are mine, we are one". I burn every contact and memory they had of their life before this trip.
At the end of it all i dose them with a benzo blackout so they won't remember a thing. The next day i bump into them like we've never met and our new friendship starts.
Works everytime.

Man I would kill to go to a show at the Red Rocks amphitheater in Colorado. Go to Red Rocks if you haven't!!
The last festival I've heard of in Colorado was Telluride and that lineup probably brought a massive bunch of great people to get to know.

I've made some good friends at events I've found out about on Meetup.com. Pretty decent site where you can find out about meetings, events, etc about pretty much whatever you are into. Good way to meet people you share interests with.

This tends to be a very effective way to make lasting friendships.

yeah you basically need to be in a situation that presents interaction. Classroom, Work, or some other group shit. I can't tell you any friends I've just randomly met. It has all been linked to something like high school, college, work friends (only 1-3), and I guess people introduced to me through others. It's also easy when you've lived in one spot the majority of your life. It is pretty hard to find people similar to you in a new environment. It takes ample time and the fact they go away after a little bit just means you were probably not compatible.

OP, Do you smoke weed?
Weed definitely helps bring people together. "Yo, wanna smoke?"

expect to be backstabbed at one point by friends you make through the drug scene. I've learned this the hard way, if you only hang out as part of a drug ritual then you aren't "friends".
