If your parents have won the lottery or your wallet is suddenly full of 100 euro tickets, maybe you may find yourself surrounded by friends faster than before. But these people are probably not true friends. True friends are hard to find, but they will always be there for you, they will not judge you and they will stand by you despite everything.
Steps
Step 1. Be yourself
If you are not 100% yourself when you are around people you cannot expect others to be, and this attitude leads nowhere.
Step 2. Enlarge your lap
Find people who think like you, or behave like you. Join a class or club for the right reasons so you can meet new friends who enjoy the things you love too.
Step 3. Forget the brands
If you are ashamed to go out with a friend because you have a hole in your jeans or they don't wear the same brands as you, then you have a superficial friendship in your hands.
Step 4. Don't be a bully
Being a bully is NEVER good. We've all made fun of someone to be accepted by others, but it's not nice to target a person in front of other people, you wouldn't like to be in their shoes. If making fun of others is the basis of your friendships you will not go anywhere and you could make better use of your time.
Step 5. Create links
Try to create bonds with someone else or find a joke that only you and another person understand to create closeness with her.
Step 6. Don't idolize anyone
If you feel like you always have to go out with a person, you are wrong. You must have your own space.
Step 7. Voice your opinions
Don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in, or you'll get in trouble. A true friend does not override others and does not allow others to do so. Talk about the things you are passionate about because that's where the real you can come out. Also talk about what others love, don't monopolize conversations.
Step 8. Don't be fake, don't like things just because others like them, and don't try to be friends with someone just because it would make you more popular
Step 9. Test Someone
Wear something dirty or say you have no money. If your "friend" reacts negatively then he will prove to you that he is not a true friend.
Advice
- Don't take it into your head that you have 100 friends, one is enough!
- REMEMBER: BE YOURSELF DESPITE EVERYTHING.
- Stand up for what you are, what you know and what you believe is right.
- Evaluate yourself, if you feel you can ask your friends anything (without embarrassment) then you have found real friends. On the contrary, try to understand what is wrong with your relationships, close some if necessary or start new ones.
- Friendships are difficult to cultivate, they take time and effort. Expect what you give. If you give nothing, you will get nothing. If you give it right, then you will find a true friend.
