Hard to make friend

September 13, 2012 6:04am CST
Making friend is something that I need because the more friend I have the more benefit I get.The problem I have is - to make it come true, why? Too many people believe that making friend with a poor boy is garbage, in fact they just judge it from the outside, but I myself won't to ask them anything just being a friend.Any suggestion for me?

Now that you said some people have prejudice,thus i think you should clear one thing. In fact,the more friends you have,isn't equal to the more benefit you get. After all there are kind-hearted person,at the same time,there are some bad,you do need to distinguish. And it's not hard to make friends,the key to succeed is to be yourself,and show your heart.

I think it is the place where you come from. Just friendship is fine and when they are in need and you are there and when you are in need and they are there is a good friendship but today it is very hard to find good friends. So, sometimes you are better off without friends because when you get friends that are not good, it simply adds tension in your life. i would rather stay out of having lot of friends. I like to share what is in my heart here and the feeling is good. i feel better. I don't need a friend when i have friends here on mylot. when you say that they say they don't want to be friends with a poor boy then it happens everywhere. I see that the rich people have their own circle of friends and they will not mix with the poor or average people. this is how the world is and we have to accept it and work hard to be someone in life. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

That's very sad. I have friends who are poor but it never entered my mind not to be friends with them because they have less in life. I have friends who are filthy rich and they never looked down upon me for not having the same status as them. If you can't find any friends from your place because you are poor, then maybe there's something wrong with the people there. When we consider people as our friends, it's their attitude that draws us.

Making friends with all people, both rich and poor, is something worth your while. It's one of the five things that make man happy, according to the Bible. From my experience, the poor tends to be shy and diffident, while the rich is friendly, outgoing, full of life, and confident. Therefore you should balance your friendship. From here, we can understand that we should not look down upon someone because he or she is poor. We are just products of our experiences. Rich people are confident because they are successful, that is, they can get what they want.

Making friends should not be about judging people based on financial status. While there are people are superficial and judge, there are good-natured people who do not judge. Being a friend to someone means you are willing to trust the person and enjoy their company. If someone only is your friend when other people they know are not present to judge you, then that person is not really your friend. Friends stick by one another despite what other people think. In terms of friendship, I never thought of making friends to gain some sort of benefit before making friends. I am only concerned about whether or not they accept me for who I truly am. Anyway, I would suggest you try to not let those comments by people discourage you. People should not be judged based on one trait about them. Many successful people in this world started out not so fortunate because they kept moving forward and believing in their selves. You will only be discouraged by comments about you only if you allow the people to discourage you. Instead of accepting defeat, you need to show more confidence about yourself. Do not ever let anyone define you based on some negative remarks about you. In this world, each person's life might seem more or less fortunate than another person's life, but it is more important on how you utilize your time and resources. In time, as you exude more confidence, you will have better chances at finding friends. It might not be easy, but it is far better than just giving up. You need to take the initiative and do your best to unleash your potential. Eventually, people will notice your potential and some of those people might even become your good friends.
