Ever feel that you want more friends?
Never known how to make friends well?
Don't worry, It is easier than it looks.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Time
  • Patience
  • A good sense of humor
  1. Step 1

    Step one- Be approachable. Please do not cross your arms, in international body language it means "leave me alone". Try to have a smile on your face.

  2. Step 2

    Step two- Appear content and confident, if you have a lack of confidence people will start wondering why. Nothing is worse for an appearance than a lack of self respect.

  3. Step 3

    Step three- Self respect means that you will spend the time to make yourself happy. Your happiness will become an aura around you, and when people are with you it will make them happy as well.

  4. Step 4

    Step four- Get rid of any of those bad habits like nose-picking, fault-finding, nail-biting, and many others. Also, respect your hygiene, nobody will want to approach you if they can smell you from across the room. Wash your hands often, people don't know what you do with them.

Tips & Warnings
  • Find common interests
  • Be respectful
  • Be aware of their "personal space"
  • Laugh often
  • Try hard but not too hard
  • Show people that you are a changed person
  • DO NOT violate their trust!
