How can I make true long-lasting friends?

Question

For this school year, I really want to try to make some new friends.

I only have 2 TRUE friends, and a few others are just whiny or annoying. I really feel lonely and want to try to make a friend which I can trust and have the same common intrests. I tend to lose friends alot, because of arguments and disagreements.

I just need some friends.

Help!

Please don't tell me to "Be myself", I've gotten that too many times.

Thanks

All answers appreciated

Answer 1

I think that you really need to get involved in activities that you enjoy. That way you'll at least have something in common with the people in that same activity.  Then you need to be approachable. Nobody wants to become friends with someone who comes off as bitchy.  If you've had problems keeping friends in the past then I'm assuming that you might want to change a few things about yourself. Arguing all the time with friends isn't good.  You have to accept them for who they are which also means accepting their flaws.....we all have them.  Being loyal and trustworthy are great qualities for a good friend to have.  You don't always have to agree with them but you should always be there for them.  Good luck!

You must to do right things and to got in a situation where you are going to treat your friend with more than respect and good conversation.Like stand on their side in a specific situation.Award them with happiness.

Answer 3

As I know, even if you have only one friend who trusts you, stays by your side whenever you want, that's enough for our life.

But if you want more, showing them your love and smiling with everyone can be some helpful things for you.

Don't be afraid because life is so long and it's too soon to say anything. But in my opinion, the first thing you have to do is to look inside your heart. Was it opened wide for everybody?

Hope you well and have many new friends

Answer 5

By being a trusted friend you will automatically have friends. It takes some time to show you can be a friend to others, but it is worth the wait.

When you start school, show others your life is to help them, and you will have many friends.

Enjoy!
