How to become more social and outgoing?

• Could someone help me to become more social or outgoing? Its sucks because Im in high school, and I like have no friends (that I like). Why dont I like them? There ALL girls. Annoying ones too. I wouldnt mind if they were hot, but they're not. Its not like they like me either. And, theres only 5. Yeah, I have 5 "friends". Basically, they're people who I only hang out with to not look like a loner. Now, the social part. Im really shy. I wont talk to someone unless I have to (even then its with hesitation and my voice would be low and quite). And Im in cross country. It would be cool, but Its not like Im brand new, so no one would really come up to me, Ive been there too long. Though, theres like 3 kids who will sometimes joke around and be guys with, but unless they start talking to me first, I wont come up to them. And the friends I want to make are in cross country. Basically they're a group of guys that are really cool and my type of friends. Half of them went to my middle school, the other half went to another one. But they seem too preoccupied with their own little circle that I dont know how Id fit in :/. They've known (of my existence) too long to try to make friends with me. So how would I try to become more outgoing? I dont know any topic starters for people who are so shallow and superficial and aren't interested in making new friends. Please Help, Im really getting tired of my mom questioning me about why I dont go out, and asking me everyday to name my friends.

• Answer:

  Girls with a background in internet culture will *always* find a niche. Classical nerds get their own perfect slice of society. 's nice.
