I need to figure out how to establish a social life

I've been there before and let me share with you some of the things I did that helped. Probably the most important thing for me to realize was that I was my own worst enemy. I was allowing my loneliness to drive people away by being needy. What I learned was to be my own best friend and to be my own hero. I discovered qualities about myself that I liked and focused on those things. I was unhappy with my brown hair so I dyed it blond. I am highly intelligent and learned to appreciate it. In time, I made friends here on Yahoo! Answers because I was already my own best friend which attracted people to me. You're probably on the best forum that you can be in to make friends. Just reach out and tell others that you need friends. That's just one of many things that I did and now I am popular and respected by others in this forum.
