I need friends >. <

Ummmm, Honestly I would probably recommend maybe turning to the internet for friends if you haven’t already…. Like yeah it doesn’t sound like it would be the same, but it’s fairly simmillar. And it sort of helps teach some important skills, and people on the internet are safe practice subjects if you mess up you don’t really have to deal with them in daily life. That’s really all I can suggest, that’s were I got basically all of my social skills from. Other than that, like general tips I have discovered: People generally like to talk about themselves, (even if they don’t like to blatantly do, they do) that doesn’t mean directly about themselves always (but some do) but about their other friends, family, classes, work, or whatever else is in their life. So I’ve found that generally asking them a few questions every now and then about things like that is always good, and also listening to their answer. Listening in general is important, like you really don’t have to respond all the time. If they ask a direct question then respond, otherwise just listen, and I would also recommend remembering what they say, I’ve found that people seem to appreciate it when you remember things about them (it also has the benefit of giving you material to use against them if you have an argument). And of course be nice, and patient. And just find people that don’t ignore you, and if you are easily ignored just start by isolating your targets. Like working with them in a group for a class thing is a good idea. Also if there are people at your school that you notice sort of stick to themselves, those can be good targets too…. Just like hunting go for the weaker of the herd. Also friends take a lot of energy, so be prepared for that, find people who are worth that energy. And really don’t give gifts or anything, that never leads to good places trust me people will stick around just due to that, and it’s like bribery basically and when you run out of resources you will lose those people (Note: I mean don’t give gifts right away, like with close friends it’s generally fine every now and then). I recommend taking my advice at face value, these are all based only on my experience and observation and what has worked best for me so far, I do hope that they do in some way help you, and that you find some friends. Good luck ^_^
