Step 1
Befriend yourself first. Realize all your advantages and disadvantages, mistakes and character. Accept yourself as you are.

Step 4
Try to give your friends a piece of yourself. Share your hobbies, interesting stories, knowledge. Make your life bright and interesting so that your friends want to participate in it.

Be honest with your friend: if he makes any mistake, do not be afraid to tell him the truth.
