How to Make Friends and Keep Going?
Everyone feel a difficulty in making friends and especially to utter the word “hi” the first time. This article gives some simple tips to make friends and the most important thing, to keep going with it.
Every one of us would have experienced a vacuum in mind and heart when trying to speak to a stranger. And this vacuum expands to an extent giving a gory snobbish look in our faces. Does anyone of us like such faces? The answer is a “no” from most of our mouths. Here are some tips to mingle with strangers with ease and close. This is learnt from life and so this is a tested practical one.
i) A ‘hi’ or ‘hello’ can change any stranger to a close friend but we hesitate to come forward as we wait for the other person to greet. Just break that barrier of cold in you and utter a ‘hi’ with glitter. This seems to be difficult the first time but when we try once or twice we can feel a joy in it. And this joy when felt once will tempt us to repeat it again and again thus giving a good circle of friends.
ii) Get to know the taste of the individual to whom you speak as early as it may give you closeness that soon. When the ideologies meet, a real friendship starts to bloom between hearts. Try to develop a healthy discussion in case you have antagonistic ideologies and conclude diplomatically without hurting either.
iii) Things can change over a cup of coffee. Try to have a chit chat in a coffee shop or a good restaurant. Make sure that you speak a lot in this session.
iv) Don’t try to impress others all the time. Be yourself expressing your opinions. People who act can make friends but can neither develop nor keep going with it. One day the dye will fade away showing your original color. Express your anger and happiness when it needs to be.
v) Give some flabbergasts like unexpected birthday wish or a good gift for some reason or the person’s favorite book. This will make the bond of friendship much thicker with many layers.
vi) In case of hostility, be the first to build rapport with the other. After all, he is your friend and there is nothing to lose in this attempt. Keep in mind that you are in the verge of losing a caring one if this bitterness occupies both of your hearts.
The aforesaid things are known to everyone but sometimes we suffer from slight loss of memory which demands frequent inoculation into our brain cells.
