The Greatest Secret of Human Relationships
by By doing this you will always have friends and people will always like you and regard you as their best friend!
I think that everyone wants to love and be loved. We all wants friends to talk with, go for coffee and spend some time with. We all make mistakes and sometimes we lose our friends. So what’s the golden rule to keep our friends and make them like us?
Close your mouth and listen to other people very carefully. Try to be interested in what others say!
That’s the golden rule. Just listen. But you will ask me, how can I be friend with another person if I can’t talk? I will tell you a story and you will find out.
A friend of mine was at a party. He didn’t knew anyone there but he started talking with a woman. He understood after some talking that she liked music very much. So he started asking her questions about music. The woman was talking continuously and my friend listened to her with interest. After an hour or so my friend had to go. He said goodbye and that he would like to meet her again and talk about music. She told him goodbye and went to the hostess of the party to tell her that she met a very interesting person that would like to know better.
So, my friend without talking, managed to make her like him! Imagine that. People like to talk about things that they like. They are bored to listen about things they are not interested in. So if you want to be friends with anyone, just listen to them and don’t talk about things you are interested in!
Try this tip and you will soon find out that more people will like you !

Thanks Paula! We usually talk all the time and don’t let others talk! This tip is really crucial for our friend relationships (even with our wife/husband)

Good point. About the listening thing. You don’t have to not talk to be a good listener, merely listen and talk about things the other person enjoys.
For example, there’s a girl on my bus every morning. I always say good morning, ask her how the day before (or weekend fared) and then listen as she explains. Occasionally, I ask some questions, or begin to talk about things she starts.
The best way to have a great conversation is to talk way less than you want to, and about things you may not care about while the other person says things you probably don’t care about.
