hmmmmmm. I'm not that friendly but I'm don't ignore who wants to be my friends. My friends now told me that their first impression to me is not a friendly person but if you get along with me you will be surprised that I'm easy to get along.

it is same with my conditions. many people will treat me as an introvert man through the fist impressions, however, as the time going on, they will realize i am extrovert

I try to make first contact with a smile, smiles will melt the coldest of hearts. I look the person in the eye and say hello and shake hands firmly if the situation presents itself. I try to be a listener more than a talker. I look for reasons (real ones) to praise the person. I use their name so that they know I have connected with them. Meeting new people can be very exciting and I try to let them know I am very happy to meet them.

The key to having friends is to BE a friend to other. If you go searching for people to be your friend, you will be lonely, but if you stretch the hand of friendship towards others you are always richly rewarded.

I find it very very difficult to make friends OFF-LINE, I am very wary of strangers and I don't socialize or mix, however online I find it very easy to make friends and I have done, I have some lovely friends here on Mylot that I think a lot of and they are very supportive and they respect me, I don't fear them or wary of them and I take them at face value. It's easier for me to make friends online as I feel far more comfortable.

I think the most important thing to gain more friends is to be what you are, don't disguise, and communicate with people with your sincere heart. Also, you should appreciate for what your friends have done for you, and be willing to help them when they are in trouble.

Well,I believe i am a friendly person:D Because i never wanna hurt others and always wanna help them if they need help.My friends like me,and they said when they see me they will feel warm.hehe,I don't know whether it is ture.But i really like to stay with them. Everyone has something i don't have and i can learn something from them.They also have different experiences which attracts me very much.I like to listen to their stories.^^ I am so nice,why they don't like me?o(n_n)o...hehe,if they don't like me,that's because they don't know me very well.

I normally am the quiet and shy one and I don't usually iniate a conversation unless I have to like asking for direction or instruction. I may be friendly-looking but I find it difficult to make new friends. It's not that I get snobbed or ignored. It's just that I can't be the first to smile or talk to a person. I only have about 1% sanguinity in my personality. But I'll tell you what. I can keep my friends and that's one of my greatest asset.
