:( Sad as it may seems i like to be alone. So maybe that is why i dont have a lot of friends? But i would like to come out and have more ppl enjoy me and trust me but its hard. Does anyone have advice?:confused:

Tinkerbell, I responded to you in the General Animation Discussion board. Have you seen it? Maybe some of the advice I gave can help you.

Overall, I would recommend just being yourself here. We're all pretty nice unless rubbed the wrong way, but if you just join a discussion and don't make your "newness" noticeable, then people will accept you and be nice to you.

Also, don't post too many new threads in one day, especially when you're new. Some people see that as spamming.

Have fun here, be friendly to everyone, and you'll make some friends. Trust me. :)

Are you talking about making friends on this forum, or just making friends period?

On this forum, you don't have to beg for friends. In fact, it's better if you don't beg because most people (to put it bluntly) find it annoying. Just be friendly, follow the rules, and post in threads that you're interested in (unless they're really old). Somewhere else you said you like anime, try the Anime board, you might like it there. This is more of a general non-toon discussion place, in case you're wondering.

Also keep in mind that friendships don't always develop overnight - sometimes it takes a while to really get to know people. Don't be discouraged if that happens. Although it looks like there's already a couple of people willing to help you fit in here.

Most of all, don't worry too much about it. Just relax! :D

wait wait wait. I was under the impression that you meant real friends... as in ones you can hang out with. If that's true, just be more open. Be yourself and say what you want to say, and eventually you'll find the people like yourself. That way you'll have real friendships instead of fake ones. Just ask people to do stuff like hang out at your house, go to a movie, even bowling is great for getting to know people. The easiest way I've ever made friends is playing sports. If you can do that, you'd have no trouble making friends.

If you were talking about making friends here... I don't know, I've never tried.

For a while it took me to get to know anyone at the boards here. But the acitivities here kept me interested, and eventually I ended up responding to the same fine folks over and over, and I discovered some common interests. That led to PMing or e-mailing or talking on AIM or MSN or whatever, and bam, I networked through there and now have friendships with a number of people around.

Just keep being yourself. Don't be fake or lie about yourself just to appear more interesting. Keep searching the various forums here - there's a little something for everyone. Be polite, be kind, and people will come to you. People gravitate towards good people. :)

With a name like Tinkerbell, I find it difficult to believe that you have no friends.

[Juu-kuchi]

We all wish to be liked.

Anyway listen to what TimTwoFace has to say. He pretty much hit the nail right on the head.

[PaQ]

Be yourself..
Treat others like you want to be treated..

Those two are real important.. :)
