Face it,
let's be honest. There are times when you want to know how to make
friends, and you may be reading this because you are shy, unsure of how
to approach a person, or maybe you are just not confident because they
may not react the way you would like them to. Here are some steps and
tips to help you overcome these obstacles to making friends.
Steps
- Encourage your friend:
A very good friend encourages his/her friend. He/she will remain with
him/her in both good as well as bad times. Never ever make fun or laugh
at your friend in front of others. If someone is making fun of him/her a
good friend will come to save or support his/her friend.
- Be confident. Many people are not very confident. They are reserved, timid and afraid to start a conversation. Make the effort and start talking no matter how uncomfortable it feels.
- Don't separate your friend from the rest of the group. Some people get jealous of their friends if they talk to other people or make other friends. Most people don't like it and would no longer want to hang out with you.
- Keep in Contact. Many people often times lose contact with their friends because they're either too busy, or just don't value their friends enough. When you lose connection with a friend, the friendship may fizzle out, and when you do try to contact them again, it's hard to re-fire the friendship.
