[quote=Anonymous]Do you know the saying "to have friends you have to be friendly"? It's really true. I didn't have good examples--my parents had very few friends and weren't great friends to them. But now I try very hard to really listen to my friends, ask them questions rather than telling a similar story (which can be taken as one-upmanship), remember things they've talked about and check back in with them, invite them to events they might enjoy, take note of their likes and dislikes, that sort of thing. If they mention being sick or having a hard time I ask if I can bring them anything or be helpful. These might sound incredibly obvious but they don't come natural to me. Doing them intentionally has helped me have better friendships. Sometimes they can be hard to do because of fear of being awkward or being rejected, but hopefully you'll find people who assume the best of you and who appreciate your efforts![/quote]
