It is hard only cause you make it so

• That is just a bunch of crap. American people are the most friendly and outgoing people in the world. If you are the kind that likes to go out, are friendly towards everyone and are honestly making an attempt to integrate into american society, I don,t see why you shouldn,t be able to make friends. On the other hand, if you are expecting people to approach you and strike a friendship, or you gawk at every pretty female that walks by or have a stuck up attitude cuz americans dont fit the perception you had of them, then you aren't going to go anywhere.
  
  We are very independent by nature.If you want something here, you have to work for it. No one is gonna serve it to you on a platter, or feel sorry for you if you can't relate.Plus like someone else said above, learn to make yourself understoof in the english language. Also don,t stick to your comfort zone of friends that are foreigners just like you, if you wanna make friends here.
  
  My advice to you is to just go out and have fun like you were born and raised american.That attitude will go a long way in how the world percieves you. Go to a bowling alley or a skating rink, or even join a gym. Opportunities for meeting people and making friends there are endless.
