You may have some problems making and keeping friends. 1.
Show empathy.
Empathy is being able to put yourself in another person's place,understanding how they feel when things are not going well,and even how they feel when things are going great. Empathy does not come naturally(天生地) for some people,while it does for others. 2. You should learn this skill(技能).
3.
Another important thing is being there for a friend. When a friend is in need of something,try to be the one who is there for him or her. People remember those who have tried to help them.
Laugh and have fun.
Friendship helps you find healthy ways to have fun outside of home,school and work. 4. You should learn to share what you have with others. If you have a friend who is often pulling you down or making you feel bad,he or she may not be much of a friend at all.
Be loyal(忠诚的).
When it comes to building strong friendships,loyalty is very important. 5. Note that you should learn to understand the differences between good secrets(秘密) and bad secrets. If a friend tells you something and you believe it could put him or her in danger,you should let your parents or teachers know.
