8 Ways to Make Friends for Life

5. Trust them and make them trust you

Until you don’t trust a person, it’s impractical of you to expect them to trust you. Be honest, open and truthful about your life. This way if they have any reservations about confiding in you, it will get replaced with openness.

6. Remember old is gold

Don’t forget those who came in your life first. Old friends from school or college are important and often the truest friends one can have. Thus keep in touch with old friends while making new friends as well in the journey of life.

7. Don’t compete

Competition is never healthy in a friendship. Be happy for their successes and don’t compare everything they do or go through to your life.

8. Encourage and avoid criticism

Encourage your friends at every point of life. Don’t put them down or be mean in any way. Criticize only when absolutely needed and when you feel criticism will do them more good than bad. Support their choices in life and be by their side .
