Man is the only one of all living beings who knows how to be friends. Swans have love when birds refuse to live without each other. A sense of responsibility can be observed in penguins when they take turns caring for their offspring. The wolf pack has a great team and a "feeling of comradeship". But friendship is a human concept. True, not everyone succeeds in finding true friends and maintaining friendship for years. But it's never too late to start.
Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to those who are nearby. A housemate, a colleague at work or an acquaintance with whom you go to the same sports section for the second year may turn out to be close-minded people. Find a reason to meet them in an unconventional setting. It may turn out that the taciturn and gloomy neighbor adores Japanese culture as much as you do. And the frivolous colleague spends all his money on traveling to exotic countries. But going to Cambodia has always been your dream! Don't be afraid that you will be misunderstood. Even if the friendship doesn't work out, you can just have a wonderful time.
Step 2
Don't ignore the internet. Every year the number of couples who met through the World Wide Web is growing. If people manage to fall in love over the internet, why not make friends in the same way. Just don't say that you already have more than two hundred friends on social media pages. Doing light chatter a couple of times a week with a person you have never seen in your life and being friends are two different things. First of all, make an appointment with your virtual friend in real life. You may be disappointed after this meeting and remove the person from your friends list. Or maybe you'll get a true friend. Either way, it's worth a try.
Step 3
Try to communicate more. If you have the opportunity to travel, be sure to use it. In a completely unfamiliar and unusual environment, people open up and become simpler and more sincere. On the hike, everyone is in the same position. When you climb a mountain with a heavy backpack over your shoulders, the last thing you think about is status, image and fashionable gadget. But the kindness, fortitude, sense of humor and reliability of the one who overcomes difficulties nearby can be noticed immediately.
Step 4
Get yourself a pet. Yes, he can't talk. But how he listens, how he rejoices at your arrival from work! And it doesn't matter to him at all that this month you have no bonus, that you have recovered lately, that you have become boring and only talk about work and that you are not interested in drinking vodka with you, because you fall asleep quickly. A pet will not betray or exchange you for someone who has more connections in society. And the feeling of loneliness with him does not threaten.
