Things to remember
- smile, be pleasant and say hi to people. We are all more attracted to nice people.
- make the first move. Reach out and don't always wait for someone else to say hello or ask you to do something.
- learn to be a good listener. Everyone likes to be listened to and it is one of the things people value most in a friend.
- don't expect everyone to be just like you. It is better to have friends who have their own ideas and opinions. It would be boring if we all thought and acted the same.
- ask lots of questions. A good way to let other people know
you are interested in them is to ask about what they like and what they think. - don't moan all the time. If you only use your friends to talk about your problems, they will get tired of hearing constant
tales of woe. Talk about good things, as well. - beware of false friends. Sometimes we stay with friends because there is no one else around. Watch out for 'friends' who try to make you do things you don't want to do or which they know are wrong.
- don't bug people - if they don't want to be friends, move on to someone else. Not all friendships work out.
