Transcript of 15 Way to make friends (15 วิธีสร้างเพื่อน)
Let's be honest, there are times when you want to
know how to make friends. You may be reading this
because you are shy, unsure of how to approach a
person, or maybe you are just not confident because
they may not react the way you would like them to.
Here are some steps and tips to help you overcome
these obstacles to making friends.
1 Spend more time around people. If
you want to make friends, you first
need to put yourself out there somehow
in order to meet people. it doesn't have
to be the 'popular' , or a crowded one,
but one with at least two other people.
Because the 'populars' won't matter
when you're older.
2 Join an organization or
club with people who have
common interests. You don't
necessarily need to have a
lot of common interests with
people in order to make
friends with them.
3 Join a sports team. A common misconception
about this is that you have to be really good at
playing a particular sport in order to make
friends with others on the team, but not all
teams are so competitive. As long as you enjoy
the sport and support your teammates, joining a
local team with a laid-back attitude could be a
great way to make new friends.
4 Volunteer. Volunteering. is also a
great way for people of all ages to meet others. By working together you build bonds with people, and you might meet others who have a passion for changing things the way you do (a common cause)
5Talk to people. You can join a club, go to
school, or go to church but you still won't make friends if you don't actually talk to people. By the same token, you don't have to be involved with an organization to be social, and any time you talk to someone.
6 Make eye contact and smile. If you have an
unfriendly countenance, people are less likely to be receptive to your friendship. Try not squinting (get some glasses), looking bored, frowning or appearing blankly deadpan, folding your arms (this practically screams "don't talk to me") or hanging out in a corner; such habits may make you look troubled or disinterested.
7 Start a conversation.
There are many ways to do
this. Such a comment about
your immediate environment
8 Make small talk. Keep the 30%
talking .70% listening, ratio in mind
during small talk when possible.
9 Introduce yourself at the end of
the conversation. It can be as simple
as saying. Once you introduce
yourself, the other person will
typically do the same. Remember his
or her name! If you show that you
remembered things from your past
conversation(s) with the person, not
only will you look intelligent but he
or she will see that you were paying
attention and are willing to be a true
friend.
10 Initiate a get-together. You
can chat your heart out but it
won't get you a friend if you
don't open up the opportunity
for another conversation or
meeting. This is especially
important if you meet someone
who you aren't otherwise likely
to meet again. Seize the day!
11 Pursue common interests. If
you've discovered that the person
you're talking to has a common
interest, ask him or her more about it
and, if appropriate, whether they get
together with others (they'll probably
invite you. If you have a club, band,
church, etc. that you think they might
enjoy, take the opportunity to give
them your number or email address
and invite them to join you.
12 Ask them out for lunch or coffee.
That will give you a better
opportunity to talk and get to know
each other a little bit better.
13 Be trustworthy. One of the best
things about having a friend is that
you have someone to whom you can
talk about anything, even secrets that
you hide from the rest of the world.
The key to being a good confidante is
the ability to keep secrets, so it's no
secret that you shouldn't tell other
people things that were told to you in
confidence. Keep in mind that recent
studies show that people rarely keep
secrets. Before people even feel
comfortable opening up to you,
however, you need to build trust.
14 Don't separate your friend
from the rest of the group.
Some people get jealous of
their friends if they talk to
other people or make other
friends. Most people don't like
it and would no longer want
to hang out with you.
15 Keep in Contact. Many people
often times lose contact with
their friends because they're
either too busy, or just don't value
their friends enough. When you
lose connection with a friend, the
friendship may fizzle out, and
when you do try to contact them
again, it's hard to rekindle the
friendship.
