It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with（接觸） other people. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.

Don’t be afraid to show people what you’re really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.

Look at people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you’re not interested in them and may stop being in­terested in you.

Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”. Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.

Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect （尊敬）, and admire （羨慕）—not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly with a lot of peo­ple. That way, you’ll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.
