A Recipe for Making Friends
Making friends is an important social ability that all
people have done since they were little kids. People need to make friends all
the time for different reasons, and in different places such as at school or at
a job. However, it is not an easy task. For many people to know someone can be
a daunting challenge. On the other hand it can be easy if you follow carefully the
instructions bellow with three simple steps.
First of all, the most important thing that you need to have
is a sincere and captivating smile. This is the first step. The smile is your business
card. It is your gateway. When you smile your body transmits good vibes to
everyone around you. A smiling person gives the sensation of well-being and
happiness. It can be contagious and captivates whosoever. Also if you are funny
it can be a good quality to attract friends. People usual like to make friend with
who is playful and who make them laugh.
The second step is to build a relationship with the
person. You should be friendly, loyal, sincere, nice and kindly. Also it is very
important that you respect the differences from the other such as her/his culture,
religion, beliefs and opinions. You need to be comprehensive in tough times. You
should always be willing to help, and be useful and supportive even when
someone does not ask you for help. Sometimes people can be proud or shy, so
they do not ask anyone for help. These people will always prefer do everything
by themselves. Thus it is your function as a friend to be empathic and realize
it. A real friend should do things for the other without expecting anything in
return. It is exactly the meaning of friendship. It means that you have someone
with who you can always count when you most to need.
The last one step that you need to do is simply to take
care of the friendship already built. Of course you and your friend will have disagreements
with each other. Perhaps, this can happen many times, but it is totally normal
because you are humans, so you have different thoughts, ideas and choices. It
also depends on your mood of the day. Whatever what happens, you must always
remember an important thing: dialogue. A good conversation between friends is
the key to keep your relationship and makes it strong.
In short, to make friends you need to know and captivate
the other person. Then you will be able to start a friendship. After you have done
that, keep this relationship stable and strong. To make it works well, you
should be ready to give a little piece of yourself to the other. Real friends are
like family. They are always ready to be with you. It does not matter if it is a
good or bad time. This is a simple
recipe that you can follow. But if you want, feel free to adapt it. The most
important thing is to have friends.
