Hi. I'm living here in Nassau all by myself, I never live by myself before, it is so sad and depressing. I am in my place most of the time the 24 hours of the day and night, I dont know how to make friends, I am very shy, I just really dont know how to make friends, some times i think people are so cold and distance. It is making me crazy and i dont want to loose my mind.
Help me please...

i know that world all too much. some of us think people are all mean. they are not, we just have to surround ourselves with great people. you have to make a first step. try to meet your neighbors. shy isn't bad but you have to make efforts to be around people or meet people. it won't always be in your yard. call someone you know, ask or look for some places in your area to go and socialize. its not hard but its lonely if you don't try at all.. it doesn't hurt to step out and attempt to say hello.

Well you will meet lots of friendly people here on myot. So thats a start!
Are there any local clubs you could join? Or perhaps a little job. Both would be great ways of meeting local people.
People often come across as being cold and distant but most really are very kind and friendly once you start talking to them.
I wish you all the luck in the world x

Thank you for you commentary, But for me is really hard to go by myself to clubs, I dont know how to start it and doing it, to leave my place is just difficult I think is dangerous outside and I dont like guys flirt or look at me. Iam afraid about. Dont know what to do please still advising me.

i have been to nassau twice by cruise ship. it is a nice vacation area, mostly for tourists.
how about hanging out at hotels? hotels have clubs, cafes, restaurants and events, and u can meet tourists and locals alike. or maybe, work as a tour guide, where u can meet tourists and other people for social purposes.

Hi Tianna, Thanks for your response but I am here in Nassau because I had to left
my country and stay here in Nassau for a little while, my husband is in Florida so all of my family. I have some issue on immigration papers that I have to wait for, however I cant work here because I am just a turist you know. I have an apartment but this Island is so small and bihind of technology that is just differnt and hard. I have made a couple of friends but they have their own lives together and we dont see frequently then I am at home most of the time lonely. My husband come on weekends but still hard. Oh the hardest part of all is that I dont know how to approach people and become friends with them, it seems a loose end. I am so shy and nervous, and I think people are not interested to make friends because of their distant. To you enter into, tell me what can I do to not loose my mind, or fix this problem.
Thanks a lot for your friendship and your time to cooperated with me.
looking forward to hear from you.

I'm sorry you are there by yourself! It's hard to make new friends in a strange place. Try not to stay in all the time, go out as much as you can, even if it's just for a walk! If you're too shy to approach other people, try and put yourself out there so others can approach you! Or if you are lonely at home, hop on the computer and chat with people! Good luck to you!

I can relate my situation with you.It is generally the case.People who are homesick or who have never stayed away from home find it difficult when they move to a new place.The most difficult thing in that situation is to make friends and if you are an introvert and a very shy person then it becomes even more difficult.I faced a similar situation and so went out and explored the new place and with time you will acclimatise to the new place and things will be lot better.Meanwhile you can engage yourself by reading books or visiting places.Try to go to places where a lot of people gather.I am sure you will get along with people and make new friends.

hi there leticias...i'm so sorry to hear about your current situation..we are alike you know..i'm a shy person too but lucky me,people at my place are very kind and friendly..they often come to my house bringing me some food or just come for a visit..actually what i learn is,if you are shy too talk with adults,you can try to try to talk with their kids first too.That's what i do..and you'll find that the people will start to talk to you..you can go to the park where lots of kids spend most of the time..kids are easier to be approach compared to adult..goodluck k..and..i'll be your friend..so,don't hesitate to talk to me k..

hey leticias,
sorry about your present situation
what do you do for fun? music is good you should try it.
making friends is not as hard as it looks, you can start by saying something nice "nice hat or i like your hair" or you could start by helping somebody
you need to get out of your self a little, do something you would'nt do.
take that time alone to do something thats gonna help you
chat with friends on mylot, share funny jokes
i know its hard i've been there my self, but you can do this
i did
oh and i'll be your friend
good luck!
