MAKING NEW FRIENDS AND NEED FOR A FRIEND

“Strangers are just friends about to happen.”

Don't pretend to be someone you're not. Other people will see right through your act anyway. You want people to like you for the special person you are. Be yourself, have fun, and enjoy.

NEED FOR FRIEND

Everyone hears what you say
Friends listen to what you say
Best friends listen to what you don't say.

Friends are important for many reasons, but one of most important--though you may not have thought about it--is to help us learn more about ourselves. Have you ever noticed that when you talk to a friend about a problem, you gain a better understanding of it? The things you say, out loud, to a trusted friend are generally things that are important to you.

Friends can tell you many things about yourself that you may overlook. A friend may notice that you have a real skill working with numbers, that you're great at explaining things to others, or that you always order a chocolate shake to celebrate something. When your friends tell you these things, it helps you understand what makes you unique.

Being a good friend means more than just hanging out with someone. If you want good friends, look first at your own actions.

A good friend listens without judging, stands by you no matter what happens, encourages you to do your best, and gently points out when you are about to make a bad decision.

Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is silver and the other is gold.
