When I move, how do i meet new friends?

Hi! I'm 15 and I am about to move out of this crappy place, and in to a better neiborhood. I have panick attacks when I get around people, in general. I am also bi-polar and sometimes i come off as a mean person, but I'm not. I have not went to anything social [ parties, movies, even walking to the store] in a year. I only have 2 friends from the old neiborhood that stuck by me and didn't leave me. I have panick attacks so bad that I am home schooled on the computer. I really want to meet new friends in my new neiborhood, but I don't like talking to people. Please help! Thanks





Note: I also do not know anyone from the neiborhood, at all

Bless your heart. That's quite a load to carry.





I moved a lot as a child. The best way I found to meet people is to do what I like to do anyway. I went to church, drag races, the Y, etc. You don't even have to talk the first time or two. Just enjoy yourself. When you are having a good time you will be more relaxed.





I hope you are getting counseling and medication. I, too, suffer from panic attacks and with medicine and therapy haven't had one in a long time. I am not too familiar with bi-polar but know there's medicine for it. Having disorders like this is no cause for shame. It's chemical. So is diabetes. So do ever let anyone make you feel "less than".





Good luck with meeting friends. Remember, you are valuable and they are just as lucky to have you as a friend as you are to have them.

Reply:HI, smiles and good attitudes attract people, being kind also attracts people and these people can develop into friends. Churches are always having activities. Join One! Join a club, an exercise club, hobby, some stores (hobby) give classes. Form a book club, out of your house....you sound like a really sweet, kind and there are ALOT of girls who want to be your friend...Please let me know how it goes,ok?
Reply:hmm. i think you need to let people know that your bi-polar and have panic attacks and if you seem mean it's not your fault.
Reply:Check out the local churches, may be a great place to meet guys your own age:)
