10 Rules in Keeping Friendships

You may try this if you want more friends.

Try Being Yourself

You must try being yourself, people love others who are themselves. If you aren’t yourself, people would begin bothering you. How long do you thing you can keep being another person? I think people can be only themselves no mater how hard we try. That is good. That means being yourself is the fastest way to be unique. No one can be like you, because they are themselves. Now you know being unique in your way. If you like something, but others don’t like it, you can like it. If you follow others footsteps you do nothing else but loosing yourself.

Try Being Nice

If you insult someone, he/she would insult you as well. So try being a nice person and make compliments (not to much: people would thing you’re planning something strange). If you make compliments for a period of time, you’ll notice that they’ll start making compliments to you..

The first time I heard that I thought:”Ha, what a joke”. Then one day I noticed people were insulting me for nothing. Then I thought about what I heard and I said “It was Right”. Now, I no longer insult people and they no longer insult me. What a good trick.

Love Yourself and People Would Love You

How do you expect people to love you if you don’t love yourself. If you don’t love yourself, you would expect no one to interact with you, so you’ll never talk to somebody ever and you’ll end up a lonely person. Start writing down all your qualities, but be careful, you can become narcissist in this way.

Try Spending More Time with Your Friends

If you spend nuch time with someone, you two will become close friends, because you begin to store up information about them and they will do the same. You’ll begin to know them very well(with ups ups and downs) and give them your trust. They would tell you some secrets and if you keep them, you would have their full thrust.

Help Them at Need

“A good friend at need is known”. You need to help your friends, if they are in trouble, if they ask you a question at a maths test, etc. This is another way to receive trust from them. You would also receive help from them (this is fun). Having people you can ask for help is like sinking in the ocean and having a lifeguard near.

Today, I am helping many people and I have people to ask for help. Don’t forget: “The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow, do good anyway.” (Mother Teresa)

Forgive

If one of your friends did something wrong, don’t try giving them advices, because they would be angry. Forgiving is the best way to fix a bad thing. They would be closer to you, if you just forgive. They will forgive you next time you do something wrong. This is the beauty of forgiving.

When I was a child I used to be angry of every little mistake everyone did. One day I forgot going out with my friends because of the computer. They became angry. It was a foolish mistake, but they were angry.

Now I have this memory in head and now I have to forget mistakes in order to be forgiven.”People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered, forgive them anyway.”

Tell Them About Your Dreams

Dreams are meant “to tie” people. If you tell a good friend about your dreams (most likely), he would want to help you achieve them. They give you straight to go on with your dream, they can connect you with the best people, they can borrow you money if you’re broke. If a friend tells you about his dreams means you are one of his best friends.

If you help a friend achieve a dream, you would be surprised he would achieve one of yours, but be careful.
