Fit Into a New Group of Friends

If you are the average 'in the middle of the road' type of person at school, in a club or a social group, and you want to maybe get closer to the top and you want to fit in better, here are some steps you can take to help you do so.

Steps

  1. Present yourself nicely. This includes personal hygiene (brushing your teeth, showering etc), subtle makeup if you want to, and brushing and styling your hair. Make sure you put some effort into your wardrobe. Dress appropriately and try to dress similar to your group, while staying true to yourself.
  2. Be confident and fun. It's not just about the way you look, 90% of it comes from your confidence and personality. Walk tall, always smile. Try laughing at jokes and seeming interested in what people are saying. Don't ignore them; it may come across as rude.
  3. Don't lose yourself. Of course if you want to change, you have to change, but not all of you. Remember, no matter what you look like, there's only one you...so flaunt it!
  4. Be creative with your style. Look through current style and fashion magazines and put a completely eclectic new trend into practice.
  5. Be social. You're not going fit into a new group of friends if you are sitting at home all day!
  6. Be equals. Remember, these people are not better than you in any way and you're not better than them. You are all equal, and there is no one or nothing stopping you, only yourself.
  7. Do what they do! They have their own jokes and hangout spots. Act like you've been there your whole life!



Tips

  • Create your own style Don't follow trends, start the trends - or at least start following them before your new friends. Have your friends taking advice from you about fashion!
  • Act like yourself The more you do the more relaxed you'll be and the better they'll probably like you!
  • Keep at it. This will take time, but if you really feel like you belong with these people go for it.
  • Don't be too full on You don't want to seem desperate by exaggerating and acting like you have been best friends since you were in diapers. You should just act like they're your friends. Give it some time for your new friends to adjust to you being their friend.
  • Leave off if they don't like you You also have to accept the possibility that they won't want to be friends with you. Don't take it personally and don't get emotional if that is the case
