Making
friends is a skill.Like most skills,it improves with 21
.If you want to meet people and make friends,you must be able to
take 22 .You must first go 23
there are people.You won’t make friends staying home alone.
24 a club or a group,for talking with those who 25
the
same interests as you do is easier.
26 join someone in some
activity.
Many people
are 27 when talking to people. 28
meeting strangers means facing the unknown.And it’s human 29
to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.
Most of our fears about
dealing with new people come from
30 about ourselves.We
31 other people are
judging us,finding us too small or too short,too this or too that. 32
don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way.Try to accept
yourself 33 you are,and try to put the other person
at ease.You’ll never feel more 34 .Try to act self-confident even if
you don’t feel that way when you enter a room full of
35 such as a new
classroom.Walk tall and straight,look 36 at other people and smile.If you see
someone you’d like to speak to 37
something to him.Don’t wait for the other person to start a
conversation.
Just meeting
someone 38 doesn’t mean that you will make
friends with that person-friendship is
39 on mutual liking and “give and take”.They take
time and 40 to develop.And
there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
