How to have a lot of friends by Aylian

"This might even be the most important thing in my 'completed' list!"

How I did it: I have no idea.
Being myself, being more confident, being open minded, being different, being spontaneous, being happy, having fun and not judging people before I know them.
People just came to me. :D I really, really appreciate having a lot of friends! They make me happy, I have fun with them and I learn from them. Not from all of them, but the one's I don't learn from, I teach. :)
Sigh! Just thinking of it, makes me feel so happy and lucky and fulfilled! Two years ago I hardly had any friends, just one actually. Others were just people I hung out with or something like that.
Just randomly make comments (don't be afraid to speak, but don't when you'll get in trouble) and see who's likeminded. Sooner or later people will talk to you, if not: talk to them! Making contacts; communicating, is the only way to really get friends.

Lessons & tips:

  • Be yourself
  • Be confident
  • Be open minded
  • Be spontaneous
  • Be happy
  • Have fun 
  • Talk/Speak up
  • Don't don't exclude anyone from being a possible friend, until you know them better and can make a fair decision to whether or not you want them as your friend.

    DONE! 18 months ago

    This is worth doing!!! But, you have to make sure that you’re making friends with people that you can trust and they are real, true friends. I have been backstabbed a few times by making the mistake of becoming friends with non-trustworthy people. But, I have made lots of true friends and its definitely worth it!!! Just watch out who the people are…
