How Can I Be More Friendly?

Be friendly to everyone! NeedEncouragement.comPlease contact us if you have questions or comments or want encouragement.

I am very thankful that God has blessed me with being a pretty friendly guy for the most part. Yes, I have my share of gloomy days, yet I always like to be encouraging, fun, light-hearted, kind, helpful, humorous, and friendly. Another idea is to guard the words that come out of your mouth and be careful of the words you use because one day, you may have to eat them. Use your words and actions to build up others, not to tear them down.

I have learned that being more sociable takes a little more effort, but it is worth it to me, and I hope you feel the same way! The best advice to be more friendly is to treat your friends how you wish others would treat you.  ~ Bill Greguska

Proverbs 17:17  A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

Be more friendly by treating others as you want them to treat you!

Be more friendly, and you will enjoy life more! To have friends, you need to be nicer to others. Making a small gesture of kindness is a great start. Try to find things that you have in common. Ask questions, and get to know one another. Be sure you treat others like you would want to be treated yourself. It is one of the most critical steps to learning to be more friendly. Knowing that you have someone to turn to when you need to talk or have someone to spend quality time with is invaluable.

Being a good friend to someone means being understanding, honest, forgiving, kind, loyal, and wanting the best for your friend. You can also be a good friend by pointing them to God and valuable things instead of leading them in ways away from God and into dangerous situations. A friend is a treasure to be valued. On the other hand, it is good to keep everything in an open palm with God, such as people. If God decides to take them from you for His purpose, such as moving, breaking up, or dying, the pain will not be as excruciating. ~ Bill Greguska

Real friendships can be challenging and take time, energy, patience, and more, this is a question that most everyone knows the answer to, but not everyone knows how to do it. I once heard that friendship is the hardest ship to sail. Getting two people together on the same page with shared interests, beliefs, and unique differences can be daunting. If you want to have close friends, you must take some chances.

You can apply the principles to both sets of people. You might have had problems in the past with friendships, but that does not mean you will be stuck in that mode. Remember that to be successful in learning to be more friendly, you must first want to be more sociable, which is easy. Just start by treating others how you would like them to treat you! You can also use some of the twelve steps above to help you understand how to be more friendly. See what you think might be something that would interest you and that you would give others enough time to express what is in their minds and hearts.

 

 

Build Bridges With Others, Not Walls!

  1. Be aware that arguments are not productive, but discussions are.

  3. Whenever you find that you are wrong, quickly admit it.
  4. Try to find things in common and be open to differences you are bound to have.

  8. Try to understand the other person’s point of view instead of convincing them of yours.
  9. Try to be more sympathetic to other people’s feelings and ideas
