If you want to make a friend, go where people are. Fine someone
  who is sitting away from the crowds. The independent ones. They
  may be more difficult to talk to, a little rougher around the
  edges, little less polished and perfect. But once you break
  through, they will be your friend, and you will be theres. You
  can also find The Talker They are with the group, but looking
  away frequently from the main talkers because they wish to have
  the floor don't know how to break in. The Talker will respond
  almost instantly and you will know their life story in just a
  few minutes. BUT if they look like they are desperately trying
  to break in to the group, constantly looking to The Leader and
  opening their mouth like a fish gasping for water, then you will
  not likely be successful - for those are not such more
  independent, but rather they themselves are seeking group
  approval, and forgot how to stand alone.
