How do you work on making friends?

I've always been a shy,and quiet girl. As well as antisocial, and just can't seem to make decent friends.
Any advice, or tips?

You aren't antisocial. You have social anxiety. I have it too. This video helps.

Don't think(or do, but don't overthink) and greet the person. I find if you overthink the situation, then you end up not being able to make conversation or make the first move.
It also helps if you're good at jumping to related topics. Conversations sometimes act like a game of word association, it helps a lot when trying to find your next topic.
real life trumps online. just be yourself, find people who are like minded, go out to places.

@badapple This. Similar interests are always a good place to start.

@badapple I completely agree real life over online. Unfortunately, my town is small, and most are into partying, and stuff like that. Which is completely fine, but in not into, so its hard to make friends here.

My trick is I don't talk to anyone if I don't have to, and if I have to I try to stay below 5 words.

@SW-User Thats me on most days, ha!
But, i'd really like friends as well.
SW-User
@MissScarlett Oh you WANT friends? That's odd.
Well I guess you should do the opposite then!
MissScarlett · 31-35, F
@SW-User Lol, yes indeed.
SW-User
I’m afraid that I can not provide any help, however, should you finding the answer to the age old question... please, let me know.
MissScarlett · 31-35, F

I don't shy now earlier yes I was shy too
But now I am opened guy ... people like my presence , I can talk to anyone, I mostly get friendship easily !
I like quality friends not quantity one !
SW-User
I don't do anything about it.
MissScarlett · 31-35, F
@SW-User Same.
You can't really make someone be your friend ,if they like you then they will be your friend .if you want to be fake so you can have fake friend then that's different
MissScarlett · 31-35, F
@NunIover Obviously real friends. Fakes are the worst, and what i've mainly dealt with.
Of course you can't make anyone thats a given.
@MissScarlett so just be who you are and see what happens
