The 6 Ways To Make More Friends & Get Better Socially by Hamachi(f): 9:00am On Mar 11, 2021
A common problem nowadays is how lonely people are. A lot of them are unable to socialize and or unwilling to in some cases. Even those who genuinely want to make more connections end up not knowing where to start or what to do.

Here are 6 ways to do it.


1- Multiply new meetings

Get out there and meet people. Call old friends and organize a meeting. It sounds stupid but you make more friends if you don't meet people. You can't possibly get better socially if you don't practice and put yourself in front of live situations.


2- Capitalize on your friends' friends:

The easiest way to meet new people is through your existing friends. They probably know or hang out with people that are somewhat similar to them. This saves you the trouble of approaching total strangers. Plus you already have mutuals. Having mutuals eases the first approach and makes it way smoother. You already have a common point to talk about (your mutual friend) so the conversation is more likely to have a starting point. Use this to your advantage.


3- Focus on common points:

As mentioned above, the easiest way to make friends is focusing on what you have in common. By doing so you explain to your interlocutor that they can feel safe while talking to you. That because you explicitly let them know that you relate to them.


4- Suspend your judgement for a while:

Don't be too quick to judge. Let people prove their worth but do not let pre-made ideas you might have of them define their value. Give people the time to show their true nature. Goes both positively and negatively. Gather enough info first

5- Take care of your relationships

Don't take anyone for granted. It costs nothing to call them once in a while to see how they're doing. If you do this often enough, you can make sure that the day you'll call to ask for something.. They'll be there. Be smart about it.


6- Understand that you can't be everyone's friend

This is probably the most important If it doesn't click with someone or the vibe with them is off Simply move on. If someone who used to be a friend became distant. Simply move on. No one is essential, everyone is replaceable


That was all, let's sum up:

1-Meet more people
2-Capitalize on your friends' friends
3-Focus on common points
4-Wait before judging
5-Take care of your relationships
6-Accept that you can't be on everyone's good side

As I always say, if you want to become wealthy, it starts with financial education.

There is surely a correlation between financial intelligence and wealth. The more you understand, the smarter decisions you can make. The smarter decisions you make, the more money you can make.

The rich understand money:

- They learn
- They invest
- They get ahead
- They are consistent
- They stay disciplined
- They push themselves
- They grow their knowledge

Use money as a tool: To earn more money.

You must be a joker. Relationships is the highest form of currency in the world and money being the least.

You only gather much falsehood if all you have is money.
