You are probably thinking about how I make friends in high school. Well don’t I have something for you. This article will be talking about what are some ways how to make a friend. And what kind of friends you can make. I hope you like this.

Use conversation starters. Examples are oh I like your shirt where did you get it. Or what book are you reading there? Or hey that look interesting can I see. That’s is it for conversation starters.

Talk to someone who is alone. Not only will you be helping someone else who might be in a similar situation to you. But it usually feels easier to approach one person than a large group. But remember distance yourself 6ft away.

Ask open questions. Open questions are questions that can have several responses, whereas closed questions are questions that are limited to a few set answers. When chatting to people try to use open questions to encourage discussion and if you get asked a question try to respond in a way that suggests you’re happy to continue a conversation.

Now, what kind of friends you can make. You can have a loyal best friend. Sometimes a loyal best friend is the only thing you need to stay sane. Everyone needs a non-judgmental friend who will support them no matter what. This is the kind of friend who lets you be a hot mess and knows all your deepest and darkest secrets but still loves you all the same.

A friend from a different culture. The last thing you want to be described as is someone who’s stuck in their own ways. If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Being in a cross-cultural friendship allows you to explore customs, values, and traditions outside of your own culture. Sometimes you might even adopt new ways to do things.

Be careful; don’t befriend someone just because they’re from a different culture. No one likes to be a token friend. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you come across someone you click with who just so happens to be from a different culture, make the effort to learn about their customs, values, and traditions while getting to know the person on a personal level.

A work pals. Did you know that with a full-time job, you spend at least 50% of your waking hours at work? Not only that, but you spend some more time commuting to work, thinking about work, working overtime, and furthering your career on your personal time. Depressing isn’t it? Statistics show that the more isolated you are at work, the more depressed you get. That’s why it makes sense to get a work pal to chat with at the water cooler and to help you get through the week. You spend 50% of your waking hours at work, and so does your work pal. You’ll find it much easier to shoot the breeze and complain about work with someone who can relate to you than eating lunch alone every day. Your work pal doesn’t have to be your best friend outside of work. They just need to be someone you click with on some level, and if you two hit it off exceptionally well, you can always start hanging out with them outside of the office.

Now the one I listed was only a few way and types of friends. There is many more. I only listed the main ones.so go make yourself some friend. And go cougars.
