Friend-Maker Forever

To an extent, making friends is a cyclic process. If you have friends, they will introduce you to more people and you can make more friends. You can think about it this way too – when you move around with a lot of people, other people get a good impression about you as a person and they think of hanging around with you too. On the other hand, if you stay friendless, people might be apprehensive about approaching you. They might think you don't like hanging around with people much.

So, one way that you can ensure to keep making friends is to cling on to the people you move with, i.e. your existing friends. We spoke a while ago about outgrowing friends. This is something that is very detrimental in making new friends. If you forget your past friends, you aren't going to have your current crop of friends for long too.

If you want to make sure that you stay a friend-maker forever, you have to work on your personality too. Throughout your life, you are learning and discovering new things about yourself. You learn this mostly from the people you meet. You understand what people like about you and what they don't. If you take their criticism in the right spirit and keep improving yourself, you are improving your chances of staying a friend-maker. You are improving yourself as a person, and that goes a long way in making friends.

Always keep mingling with new people, don't let any social opportunities pass you by and be cheerful whenever you meet anyone new. This is what brings more people into your friend circle.

But remember one very important thing – one thing which if you forget you will be a lesser person – when you get new friends, don‟t let your old friends slip by. Hang out with everyone; be a sociable person and you will find you will never run out of good people who you can call your friends.
