how to find friends?

Answer 1

I have found the following 8 points have been very helpful for me when it comes to finding friends:

1) What you put out in the world will come back to you. Therefore, if you want friends, that means you behave as a good friend to as many others as your energy can muster. (Eventually, you will whittle down the number of people in your circle to the very closest of friends.)

2) Putting your best foot forward in everything you do. You must show others that you care about yourself through your appearance, general cleanliness (which includes both personal hygiene and your living environment), and working to achieve your goals in school or work. Also, your behavior should be friendly, respectful, and receptive.

3) Patience. Sometimes your friendly behavior may not be returned by the individual you are being friendly to but by another who observed your friendly behavior and thought to themselves, "I would like a friend like that." Therefore, even when the going gets tough, be patient. Finding and building friendships takes time and effort.

4) Hold on to your self-respect. When you feel lonely, it can be tempting to feel like beggars can't be choosers, but life is too short to waste your precious energy on someone who does not respect you.

5) Give what you're deprived of. If you feel deprived of friendship, you might be surprised how much offering your friendship lifts your own spirits regardless of the other's reaction.

6) Look for interests in common. What do you like to do for fun? Think about your hobbies and interests and then find a way to share your time with others who have those interests in common. For example, someone who likes to read would join a reading club. Their local bookstores (even the big bookstore chains like Borders and Barnes and Noble) and libraries may have some information on reading clubs in the area. Becoming a regular part of a spiritual or religious community (even atheists have their own community) will be very helpful. If you're saying "I don't have many interests" now's the time to explore some possibilities, which is another great way to meet people.

7) Listen, then ask. People love to talk about themselves. The more genuine interest you show in another person by asking about them and their interests, listening to their response, and asking another question based on their answer is a great way to get people to like you.

8) Relax. Whenever you are around others even in an everyday setting like the grocery store or at work, someone who is relaxed, comfortable in their own skin, and open to conversation is a person whose company others enjoy.

If you follow the above pointers and consistently behave like a good friend every day, you will look around one day and discover that you have a group of very good friends. Good luck!
