[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am literally going through the exact same thing with my 9-year old daughter.  I have NO idea how to make friends! She was like, "Mom. I have a question? (She was so serious that I thought she was going to ask about something embarrassing.)  How do you make friends?"  I don't know because I don't have any friends (and am not social).

Sport is a great idea, but sports, activities, etc at her age means that I have to do all the work of finding them, signing her up, driving to them and I work and am exhausted.  At least your son can do it by himself!  Isn't there a trick to all those people who have thousands of friends at school WITHOUT doing all these activites.[/quote]

Yes, there is a secret, but it is a secret to us who don't have that personality type.  It is not a secret, but just life to my DD who is extrovert, has dozens and dozens of best friends, and so many other friends. Who, at 15 ,is a social butterfly of the highest order.  Who is getting the whole high school stadium to chant cheers for the team. But, it is a secret to me and the thing is, I do have a couple of really good friends, and that is all I need or can manage. I am happy with my way, she is happy with her way.  But, if you are unhappy with not being social....that is when problems happen.[/quote]
