Friends Cure!

4A Ng Kei Ying , Iris

Hello, everyone! Today, I am going to talk about friendship tips. How well do you know
about friendship? A friendship can be a good deal of things depending on what sort of
person you are. For me, it is a magical medicine which can cure my loneliness. Provided
that you never get a friend in your entire life, how long do you think you would be suffering
from loneliness, and how lack-luster your life would be like? In this article, I will tell you the
importance of friendship and how to get rid of loneliness by making more friends.

Firstly, the definition of friendship can be countless as it differs from person to person.
Everyone in the world holds different views on friendship, some insist that friendship is not
so important as a friend cannot accompany you till the end of your days, while some counter
that friendship heals their broken hearts like an invisible medicine. Now you might be thinking
how important friendship is. Without a friend, you have to go through scares of lonely days
and have to fight on those darkest days all by yourself. It can also be depicted as missing soul
in you as you get no one to share your innermost feelings with. We are meant to experience
different stages of life as we grow, you will not get a mate when you are a still a child, will you?
You need someone to share joy with. So, how small-minded it is to think that friendship is not
important.

In order to get rid of loneliness, you have to get a friend, but how? Having a fine image of
yourself is necessary. Nobody loves to make friends with whom speaks of fluent foul language
and whom looks greedy and arrogant but those who are decent and polite. Therefore, you
should create and nurture your own personality which is attractive to others. You can build a
good image by putting a smile on your face, dressing up trendily, showing good manners and
by hundreds and thousands of approaches. In this way, people may consider you as a perfect
choice to be added to their friend list, then you can make friends with them at ease.

On the heels of building a good image, you also have to find ways to meet friends. If
you think that you cannot get along well with people of your age but want to make friends
with those of different age, why don’t you enroll in some activities and clubs held by some
organizations in the community? Participating in these activities and clubs, you can meet a
wide range of people of different personalities and you can finally find a friend who respects
you and shares similar interests with you.
Thirdly, you need to stay in touch with your friends. By making them think there is a close
bond between you and them, such as sharing your feelings with them or asking them how they
feel, they might think that you care about and trust them. As a result, they may find that being
friends with you is enjoyable and your relationship with them is ideally maintained.

Being honest is also a must to maintain a close relationship with friends. When your
friends find out that you tell lies to them, they may feel that you betray them or do not trust
them, and that is why there are always cases of friends breaking up because of a lack of
trust. Therefore, it is of great significance that you never tell lies to your friends if you want to
maintain a close relationship with them.
