How To Be More Friendly With Others? NeedEncouragement.com

Be friendlier by treating others the way you want to be treated!

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.

Treat others the way you would want to be treated. It is one of the most critical steps in learning to be friendlier. Knowing that you have someone to turn to when you need to talk or 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 to valuable things, rather than leading them away from God and into dangerous situations. A friend is a treasure worth valuing.

On the other hand, it is good to keep everything in God’s open palm, including 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

6 STEPS ON HOW TO MAKE A NEW FRIEND?

(A Step-by-Step Process)

 

Meeting new people and turning them into friends isn’t easy. True friendship takes a long time to build. Like a house, you can’t build it overnight.

Let’s go over the steps you need to take to find the greater love you can only find with a best friend!

 

1. Determine What Your Interests Are.

Go where your passions and interests are encouraged. What do you love the most in life? If you knit, hit your local yarn shop. If you are on fire for candles, go to a Scentsy party! Go where like-minded people are.

Accept social invitations! Don’t let fear stop you! Reach out to new people!

 

2. Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone.

Once you’re somewhere new, put yourself out there and be somewhat outgoing. The world doesn’t need to revolve around you, but you’ll want to show you are open to new conversations with new people. Be sociable!

Don’t be afraid to go somewhere new and let your personality shine!

 

3. Be Easygoing When You Introduce Yourself.

Be breezy when you exchange contact information. Share your cell number or social media info and say you want to keep in touch. If you have a business card, drop it off. What’s easier than that?

Make the first move! You never know; the other person may be afraid of rejection!

 

4. Follow Up With Your New Friends And Make Plans.

Be open when you follow up with your new pal. Make them feel comfortable. Let’s offer to take them bowling instead of meeting for coffee. There’s less pressure for small talk if you are open to trying something fun like that. What would your friend enjoy?

Ask your new friend to go out, but keep it easygoing about what you do!

 

5. Enjoy Conversing.

Be an equal talker and listener. Listen intently and offer insightful feedback when your new friend tells a story or expresses a concern. Be open to the conversation, and have a few topics planned.

Be yourself; be there for your new friend. You want them to enjoy your company!

 

6. Be a Good Friend.

Take the time to really get to know the other person. What are her values, dreams, hopes, and aspirations? Don’t overwhelm her with questions; focus on understanding what drives her. It won’t happen overnight, so stay in touch over time.

Be a good listener, a good friend, and a good conversational partner!
