How do you get out of the habit of being a loner?

I'd like to know how to advice correctly, I have a nice amount of friends which I have made throughout my life. Some friends even were my worst enemies, but in the end, I managed how to turn that around and make them my friends.

Maybe some times you just need to indirectly change other's ways of thinking about YOURSELF. Like senjuro said, if they don't say what you expect to be funny or anything, then laugh yourself and ignore the stares, and never ever say the same thing again; you'll know what to say eventually, but as he said, again, practise makes perfect; if you run away and don't try, then no one is going to near you and beg you to be your friend. Let them know you are funny on your own way, then they'll let you in fast, sure, there are always the hard part, but nothing's impossible if you have the will to do it.

But yet again, changing other's ways of thinking is a very delicate method that shouldn't really be used. If a person's an ass, he'll be an ass his whole life until he changes himself, you can't change people that are able to think for themselves unfortunately. But don't let this throw you down, keep trying, you'll find a way eventually, and again: Trying will not hurt anyone. (well, depends, if you want to make friends that are drunk at first... meh)
