( im one of those people that can talk to literally everyone shamelessly if i get bored, so if you have any other suggestions please comment xx)

+ talk about something relevant
ex: if you're in the locker room, just turn to the person next to you and complain about whatever you did in PE

+ be direct
ex: one time i was walking alone because i thought my friend was absent (she wasn't even absent lmao) and i saw this girl sitting alone where i normally sit and i just asked her if i could sit with her. She said yea and now we're friends :)

+ join something
ex: i joined color guard my freshman year (honestly i didn't even know what it was until i joined) and i met so many wonderful people. Idk just walking in the halls and having someone call out you're name just to say hi is a really good feeling. Also I met my best friend through guard.

+ complain (this really works with girls)
ex: i was sitting in class and i just turned to the person next me and said "ugh i really don't want to take this test". They responded and now we talk everyday

+ be annoying (works for guys)
ex: when i took bio i sat next to this kid that wouldn't talk to me so i started drawing smiley faces on his paper and poking him. Soon he did the same and we just started flirting with each other the rest of the year. This sounds like something you'd do in elementary, but it worked for me haha (also depends the guy)

+ compliments
ex: i saw this cute guy who was wearing a swmrs jacket and i complimented him on it. He got excited that i knew the band, but we talked for about 5 minutes only because he just got done doing a performance for improv

*also smile a ton so you look approachable if you don't feel like being the one who talks first
