All my frinds are in India and i was so busy last yr being newly married and helping my inlaws..and studying that i did not socialize even a little bit...and i am a bit shy too.. How do i make friends? i can't go out a lot becoz i don't have a car only my hubby does will people get scared and not talk to me as i am married at an early age? coz i am still learning about American culture and i don't know how to make friends........ @ school i talk to few people but the relations r restricted about school only..not like hanging out and stuff.. i need to make friends! but how? i feel so lonely sometimes also, when i posted this question earlier people thought that my hubby is controlling..he is not..he asks me if i want to go somewhere he can give me a ride and he wants to help..i am the one who does not want to get involved with his friends

Socialize more with your neighbors! Just go to their house, & introduce yourself. You could also bring a homemade Indian food dish to their house that you can eat together. Or, you can send your neighbors an invitation to come to your house for a barbecue or a Indian dinner, or meal or something. Do you have a job yet? Try talking to people @ your office or where you work.! Anyways, good luck!! :-D
just ask people if they wanna grab a coffee or something sometime, you dont have to like it you get what u like, then talk about stuff and b4 u know it they will be ur friend
do it the same way you made friends back home....
volunteer or participate in different clubs on campus. You will get to meet lot's people. Apply for a job. I have a lot of friends that I met through work that I keep in contact all the time. Go to church (religious meeting place). I know that you don't like to hang out with your husbands friends but, once you do find a friend, it will not heart to invite that friend along when you hang out with your husband's friends. That way you will have someone there for you and at the same time you get to spend time with your hubby. Oh yeah, in america, if you are married, it's your car too.
I know it sounds odd, but I met one of my best friends through Craigslist. www.craigslist.org Just go on there an click on your city. There is a section for platonic friends. You can find people nearby and maybe even some people from India as well. You can browse through the posts and post your own. I was just browsing through and found my girlfriends post. She had just moved to the area from out of state and didn't know anyone. I don't think people will think you are strange for marrying young. I really hope it works out for you.
You could always take a class outside of school, and learn how to do some kind of craft, and the people in that class will make for good friends, since you guys would have at least something in common! You could get a small, part time job, and make friends there. I'm interested to know why your school won't let you hang out with your classmates. I go to a community college, too, and everybody hangs out with everybody. I'm sure it's not TOO against the rules for you to make friends with your classmates. Moving to a new country and culture must be a bit frightening... but in America, people are usually really friendly. It's just a matter of walking up to someone and saying hello, seeing how their day is going, you know, basic small talk. And, you could get a car, try for a certified pre-owned car. They payments and insurance is generally okay, and that will let you have a lot more freedom! Good luck!
