How do you make friends in real life?

I really do not have much problem with making friends. Most of the people I meet and become my acquaintances eventually become my friends. While making new friends can be a challenge, it's worthwhile, especially if your social network is too small for your liking. Look at your current friends and acquaintances and try to remember how you met each one of them. Then think about the activities that you have enjoyed in the past or would like to try in the future. Perhaps an activity you enjoyed in the past helped you meet one of your current friends. Even if your interests are solitary, you can still make them social. There are groups for people who like reading, photography and writing. Some other places to meet new people are community centers, sporting clubs, night school, volunteer work, religious activities, health clubs, political groups and parties held by current friends. Another way of meeting people is to look around at the faces that are already familiar to you. If there are people in your neighborhood, at work or elsewhere who are always pleasant to you and who smile when they see you and seem willing to talk, they may be open to developing a friendship. Once you have made a few acquaintances and feel confident, you may choose to take the next step and deepen the relationship. But best friends don't happen overnight so take things slowly. Good luck!

I am the same, I used to have a best friend that I did stuff with, but she moved and so I hardly see her at all. I have had bad experiences with other friends and so I just came to the conclusion that it was not worth it and that I was better off alone with no friends!!!

I have one or two great friends. Sometimes it is hard to make friends. I call friends, email then and many time they are always there for me. My closest friends helped me through cancer.

Well when you both have a common goal normally you will become friends to achieve the goal together yea . that is how you make friends yea .

I really love to make new friends in my life~I think if you treat them well,you will get repaid.

I don't know if I can help you there. I'm more quiet than shy. So, I'm pretty much in the same boat you're in. I only have two friends I remain close with.

Yes, I make friends real easy, I love people so it is easy for me to make friends, and I good Judgement when picking my friends, I have real friends that I have been friends with for at least Forty years. I am an Aqarious, so it is easy for me to meet people, I have a good repor with people. Well, I feel that I do.

Hey there dangnabit67! I do consider myself as a very friendly person because I could actually make friends so easily. Mingling and socializing has never been difficult for me. Each time I enter a new organization, I carry myself with confidence. As much as possible I do give anyone in the crown my smile. For me it is a very good start to win an acquaintance that could possibly turn into a good friendship. Just be you and everything would follow.
