Friendship isn’t everyone’s cup of tea! If you’re a quiet person and want to know how to make friends, get some tips here!

Start small by making the first move.

If being alone for years has made you slip into a feeling of loneliness, don’t fall prey to the pressure of connecting with multiple people to make friends. Always start with small steps. Keep your circle limited initially, and begin interacting with one or two people to get comfortable in socializing. That ways your life won’t feel overcrowded and you’ll learn the basics of interaction.

Get along with people who match your vibe.

For someone who has spent years in his or her own company, finding people who “get” you feels like a far cry. As previously mentioned, interact with a few people first, get to know them, and try to find your common interests. Connect only with people you naturally resonate (产生共鸣) with and who also respond to your efforts. It might feel hard at first, but as you on, you’ll learn to catch someone’s vibe.

Remember quality over quantity.

Remember, it’s always about having two or three fulfilling friendships instead of having ten unstable relationships. The more we seek for quantity, the more exhausting our lives will become. Try to have friends who back you in times of thick and thin, the ones who will be your constant support.

Keep the positives in your heart and let go of any comparisons.

Even if you fail to find your true friend a million times, don’t ever give up. Always keep your previous positive experiences to keep moving forward in building your friendships. Also, never forget that every person is unique in his/her ways. So, avoid comparing one friend of yours to another. Acknowledge their differences and embrace them with full respect.
