Making new friends is exciting. However, some people find it difficult to make new friends. Use these tips to make new friends. Make yourself available by going to new places, put yourself out there; take advantage of events, get-togethers, social gathering, and so on.

Try to join new clubs or organizations; if you are in school, join clubs such as press clubs, science clubs, knitting groups, and so on, and if you are an adult, try joining other clubs outside your business. Be more productive by volunteering for a cause you love.

If you are interested in making new friends, why don’t you make the first move approach people and make sure you are also approachable smile and make eye contact while talking to people, talk about different things and add some small talks, so the conversation doesn’t die, introduce yourself and if you have a common interest like playing FIFA you can invite them to come to play sometimes. Make sure you exchange contacts.

Everyone would like to make new friends, but they do not know how to begin.

These are some helpful tips to start making new friends:

• Remember that the fear that you are not going to be liked is in your head. You will always have this fear.

• You can start with people who are close to you.

• Allow people to get to know you better.

• Always take the first step in making a move towards having new friends.

• Try to be genuine because if you are true to yourself, you can expect that people will genuinely like you better.

• Be yourself.

Pretending to be someone that you are not is a sure way to lose friends, so make sure not to do this.

• Go on a blind date: you have a friend set you up with a person you’ve never met before in your entire life

• Be authentic: it seems simple, but a lot of people don’t do well on this front. Be sure to make yourself clear on what you do your lifestyle, hobbies, and habits. Have a well-defined lifestyle, be truthful to yourself as per things you like and those you don’t really like. Focus on what you like. You may just find a friend doing that which you like.

• Get personal: this normally takes a lot of time, due to what people have experienced betrayal, distrust, hurt and pains. However, you can do this by discussing something deep and personal.

• Persistency and consistency: you may want to make friends with someone who is not returning the same kind of energy you are putting into it. By keeping at it, you will win the person over.

There are some people who seem to make friends very easily, and there are also some people who cannot seem to make friends even if they try. One thing that you should realize is that it is always easier to make friends when all the people there do not know anyone. You can just approach people whom you think are friendly and try your luck.

The worst thing that can happen is that you will not have anything in common with these people, and your friendship will not last long. You need to just try to get yourself out there. There is a very big chance that people would like to be friends with you too. It will seem scary in the beginning, but the more that you try, the easier it will be for you eventually.

Friends are an essential part of life. They are who we spend time with, and they help increase social events in life. For some people, it is extremely easy to make friends, but for others, they may need a little bit more help. One way to make friends is to use social media. Websites and apps like FaceBook, Twitter, and Instagram can be used to make friends based on things you have in common are similar beliefs. Another way to make friends is to attend local events, such as festivals. Friends can also be made at school, as well as at work.
