Its hard to make good friends

so anyways im just saying its hard to make GOOD friends...any tips on how to make friends easily please??

Well...being nice to everyone...try to hang out with someone who shares your same interests. Music, video games, movies, books, etc. All that jazz, any activities during school. Be a little outgoing when talking to people and stuff! I thought it was hard too, but I got out there and made a lot of friends, and I know you will too!

be yourself.
have people who accept you as yourself.
they should want you to be yourself.
they should be able to, and you should to be able to;
*laugh together
*cry together.
*be grumpy and due on period togtehr and accpet that it's just 'time of the month!'
*comfortably sit in silence together.
*have an opinion that isn't the same but respect each others, nevertheless.

what makes a friend is easier than making one...just gravitate towards people who respoind to you in a way that makes you comfortable and you can assosiate with...

and never break a friedns trust...

I can't tell you HOW to make excellent friends...but knowing how to treat them is a huge part of developing a relationship...common interests help, but are not the be all and end all. my closest friend has been in my life for 26 years, and seriously, we have been through it all togetehr, and we have very little in common, but we understans each other and we know each other...we focus on the things we can do together, not the things we can't...

tell you , if anyone has the magic ingridiant for friendship, I would love to know lol!

but just be confident, not needy and always be casual, making a friend is about wanting not needing them or a person..xx

just be yourself and go up to people and say hi and start to chat with them. dont be shy and hide in your shell forever. go out and meet people! the presure will be over when you become friends with them! have fun!

be yourself make sure you dont lie and be MEAN AND BOSSI SORRY FOR NO RESON

I came to this site b/c I am realizing that I have really not made any friends for a number of years. My husband and I moved from a small town where we had family and some longterm friends.I have a good relationship with sevral co workers but nothing outside of work. I guess this is starting to bother me a bit hence my search for answers on the internet. While reading the many posts it dawned on me that I have never initiated a friedship. I have had many but I never put myself out there as the cultivator(please forgive my spelling, no spellcheck). My husband is somewhat shy and I am his best/only friend. He would be receptive enough if I invited people over or out he just woulden't initiate it. So back to my lack of effort in that arena. I think it has someting to do with rejection or feeling akward at the beginning, all of that plays a part. so what do I do with this new revelation. Have a party ? maybe a small get together. Maybe just ask a few coworkes to meet for drinks after work. I don't know where to start but without a doubt it is up to me to start.
Maybe this could be helpful to someone eles. Thinking back to my friends that did in fact take the initive t am so glad they did and maybe someone would be glad if I did or you did. maybe we should all stop being so afraid of rejection or whatever it is that is preventing us from being the first to extend our hand.I mean honestly what do we have to lose. Hope this helps someone b/c it did help me.
