How to Make Friends

Making friends is all about being yourself and being kind. I know that sounds corny but it’s the truth. Never try to be someone you’re not just to get someone to like you. As long as you be yourself (and hopefully have confidence in being yourself) and be kind to people, you will naturally attract friends. That doesn’t mean everyone is going to like you. There will always be someone who doesn’t because that’s just how life works. Another helpful thing to do is be outgoing and step out of your comfort zone. Go up to new people and say hi. Don’t be afraid of them not liking you or judging you. Be proud of who you are and treat others the right way.
