I have very less friends and one of the reason for that is I have seen that those friends whom I too the longest time to make my first move were those who lasted the longest.
I am not a kind of person who would immediately initiate a conversation unless I am sure that this conversation is to temporary. When it comes to a long term friendship or mixing with a colleague I really take time.
Sometimes I have really felt that due to this quality of mine I manage to have a very less number of friends. In my opinion for maintaining a good friendship there Dont’s outnumber the Dos. So In order to maintain a good friendship the following things are those which you should give a thought to.
Friendship often breaks due to involvement of Money or Girl/Boy. These are the two elements that one tends to be untrue i.e., These are the two things that one can rarely be selfless about.
Money - Make sure that there is no monetary dealing between the person with whom you wish to have a long lasting friendship. Its a very delicate thing to say that there should be no involvement of money between a friendship but this statement does not mean that you should not spend when in groups but this really indicates that you should never lend or ask for money with you friends. This always results in sour feelings at last.
Girl/Boy - The next biggest Friendship breaker is involvement of a person of opposite sex. When it comes to this a person tends to be selfish and can never accept defeat. This could also be due to the possessiveness. So its better avoided.
Secrets - Friendship is usually attributed to selfless compassion and a person with whom you could share your deepest problems that can’t be disclosed to your partner or parent. But this too has a catch . unless you are sure that the person to whom you are sharing your secrets would really keep it for you and would not take advantage of it later on.
Although I feel that there cant be a rule on what to do .
1)Just be yourself.
2)Be optimistic.
3)Crack
a joke.
4)Listen
more rather than talking
5)Try a
compliment
6)Be
patient.
7)Love yourself.
8)Be
loyal.
9)Be nice to others.
