It is said that 'Solitude has its own advantages and beauty'. It gives you more time to do things you want to do; reading books, writing poetries and other solitary accomplishments. If you're one of those lone wolves and your solitude is now getting on your mind, it's time to make friends and share some merry time with them. In case you're pondering over how to go about it, here are some tips that can help you out to make new friends.
How To Make New Friends
Be Visible - First of all, you have to come out of your shell so that people begin noticing you. Start spending time with people around you, preferably, people who share some common interests with you. Although it does not require having things in common to be good friends; it certainly helps in planning activities together, giving you ample time to know each other.
Initiate Talks - Once you have identified what you want, go by it. Strike a conversation with people you have been completely aloof to. The sudden change in your attitude might surprise them, but it wouldn’t be for bad. Don't wait for other to initiate things. While you talk to them, smile as much as you can without showing an artificial approach.
Be A Good Listener - Listening to people carefully will give them a sense of importance and help in establishing a kinship with them. Be genuinely interested and learn to listen patiently. A person constantly interrupting the flow of conversation is not liked in the groups. Share your interests, secrets, passions and dreams and encourage them to do so in order to show that you care.
Be Trustworthy - The best thing you can do as a friend is to become trustworthy. Having a friend is about having someone whom you can talk to and share your deepest secrets with. The key to become a good friend is the ability to keep secrets and refrain from gossiping. You need to build trust to make them comfortable enough to open their heart to you.
Be A Good Friend - A relationshipcompletely based upon needs dies soon. Once you have chosen your friend, be compassionate, sympathetic and caring towards them, instead of becoming one of those who are happy to be around you when everything is going well. Refrain from selfish attitude and offer your help in need even if it takes you some pain.
Choose Wisely - If people around you are not good friends for whatever reasons, this is not the end of the road. Look for people who can prove to be good friends. In the process, learn to identify people who can clutter your life with their obsessive and over possessive behavior. Relish friendship with people who bring up positive influence in your life and try to reciprocate the same.
