A True Friend

Anyone who knows you well will understand the significance of friendship and how it can help you in some way. Friends are a great support system, especially when life seems to be a little difficult. Having a friend is like having an ally who understands you, your circumstances, and your values. It can be hard to find friends these days; we’re all so busy with our daily lives that we don’t have time for friendships anymore. However, making new friends doesn’t have to be that hard. Here are a few things you should know about making new friends:

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you. ~ Elbert Hubbard

Be yourself

Having a fake personality will only lead to a fake person. You have to be you, the person you are inside. If you try to be someone you’re not, you’re just going to end up in a mess of confusion and frustration. If you’re awkward, be awkward. If you’re messy, be messy. If you’re shy, be shy. Don’t try to be someone you’re not just to impress someone else. Being yourself will make people understand you better, trust you more, and like you more too. When you try to be someone you’re not, you’ll end up doing things you don’t want to do, saying things you don’t mean, and looking like a fool. But when you’re yourself, you will be happier and have more fun with life. You don’t have to fake it to make it in life. If you can find a way to be yourself, you will find yourself a lot closer to where you want to be.

Show how much you care

You don’t have to be some fake person who really doesn’t like or care about people. You can be friendly, kind, and caring and still have many great friends. In order to have great friends, you might have to put a little bit of effort into it. If you want to make friends, you need to show that you care about them and what they have to say. If you don’t care at first, then you will never grow to care because you’ll just brush off what they have to say and they will eventually grow tired of being ignored. You don’t have to go out of your way to be friends with others. All you have to do is be nice to them when you see them or hear about them and don’t sweat the small stuff and you will end up with a ton of great friends.

Don’t rush into a friendship

When you want to make friends, don’t go out of your way to befriend everyone you meet. Take your time and be selective about who you choose to befriend. If you try to make friends with everyone you meet, you will end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. You will be happier if you only make a few friends at a time and let that be it. You don’t want to make everyone you meet your best friend. You don’t have to be friends with everyone you meet. Even if you’re at a party and you feel you need to make a connection, don’t go out of your way to make friends with every stranger you meet.

Be willing to take risks

The best way to make new friends is to be open-minded and willing to take risks. You don’t have to try to make every single person you meet your friend. You can choose people you feel a connection with and make those your friends. You need to be willing to take risks when it comes to making new friends. You need to be willing to let people get to know you a little bit better without being threatened. If you feel a connection with someone, go for it. If you try to make everyone your friend, you’ll end up feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. You’ll be happier if you only make a few friends at a time and don’t sweat the small stuff.
