Most of us,feel good when friends say that we are approachable, that they can confide in us and even ask our advice. One of the simplest methods of earning popularity is to treat others in the same manner we expect others to treat us. People are naturally drawn to individuals who project an aura of friendly openness and are consistently courteous. When we behave in an approachable fashion individuals in our personal and professional spheres will feel more comfortable approaching us whether they just want to engage in conversation or consult us for advice. By being ourselves at all times, we let others know that we will accept them the way they are rather than ask them to conform to our expectations. Friends and colleagues alike will appreciate the attention we give and others will seek out our company when we are universally kind to everyone we meet. Do you agree?

Hi... It is brilliant.. You remind me of Dale Carnegie, who wrote self-help books. He used simple language, that anyone could understand. That gained him so much popularity that more than 1.5 million copies were sold... Your article is impressive, and has a lot of guiding power to friendless people. Keep up the good work... You might end up becoming a famous author... Good Luck and Good Day to you!

I think that each person is different, and there is no recipe for making friends. Of course, you should be nice to others, respect them and treat them kind, but there are people who can get friends very easily, and people who cannot. I, for instance, have a lot of friends, though a few years ago I was not so popular. But i guess that the most important thing is to find persons who share the same interests as you.

I have many closed friends..and I found that...being honest and treating them as our brother/sister is the good way to be in nice friendship. I am still who i am in friendship. My friends, some of them always make a phone call to me for chatting..even though i don't make a phone call to them regularly. They know well that i am very lazy type to make a phone call, but whenever they need, i always be there and help them as much as i can...With me, they look like my brother and my sister...

I do agree. I feel that we should give all people respect. Some people I've met in the past said that people have to "earn" their respect. But to me, all people deserve respect, at least until they are disrespectful to me. This is really good advice.

Yep totally agree with you as to your method. Now you just need the proper social arena. No one is going to approach you in a supermarket and say hey lets be friends. You need to join things, sports, clubs, volunteer for community events and causes. If you are not around people on a regular basis there is no opportunity to make friends.

We all need friends in our life. It is really hard to imagine our life without friends and no one is living without friends. Each and every one is having at least one good friend in their life. It is good, if we have lot of supporting friends with us. Some persons thought that they are not social, it is hard for them to make friends. But they are wrong. Each and every one have the ability to make friends simply in an easiest way. We all have some expectations from our friends. We must do the same to them to keep our friendship in a long time. It is really unfair to expect a lot from our friend and forget to reciprocate it to them. If we want good and kind friends, we must be good and kind to our friends and our friends will do the same for us. We must treat our friends in the same way which we expects from them. We must try our maximum to help our friends in their needs and necessities. It is the best way to make a real friendship and our friend never forget about our timely help and they come forward to help us in the time when we needed it from them. We must be kind to every one and do help to others as much as we can to extend our friends circle. Every one likes the person who is good and have helping tendency. It is the way to extend our friends circle.

Hi Pose: I agree with you. The best way to start a relationship is being kind and of course acting natural. I don't like when people pretend to be something they are not just to like somebody. I remember that I was one of these persons when I was a teenager because I feel that I had to do things to make people feel comfortable with myself instead of just being me . ALVARO

As far as I concern we can be friend with anyone. But I could say that they might not be a real friend. For me there are a lot of friends including facebook, and other social networking sites. But just consider them as my friends but not true friend. A true friend can help us we are in a problem. But others can't. This is the difference between a friend and a true friend .
