1 First of all, think about what kind of person you would like to be lifelong friends with. Take a piece of paper and write in a column what qualities your friend should have. Now think about if you have all of those qualities. If not, you need to start with yourself in order to fully meet the requirements you have for others.
2 You are an adult and should understand that there are no perfect people. So, you should forgive people the imperfections they have that are not essential for friendship. Especially since, as we found out before, you also have some shortcomings. Generally speaking, you can forgive everything, except selfishness, dishonesty and tendency to betrayal.
Do not be afraid to meet these qualities in the people who surround you. Treat everyone kindly and with interest, as potential friends. Of course, among them, there will probably be those who have these negative qualities. If you find them, then simply cross them out of your life or no longer consider them your friends, distancing yourself from them. In any case, next to you will be those among whom there will be people who have the same interests as you and with whom you want to be friends closer.
4 Take a closer look at those who are near you. It's amazing, but sometimes after years of getting to know each other, we hardly know the people around us. Look closely at your colleagues or your longtime acquaintances. Find an excuse to talk to them about personal passions, get to know them better. Maybe the person close to you in spirit and conviction has been around for a long time.
5 Treating others with respect and interest allows you to expect to earn respect and interest in return. Look at how many real friends such people have. So becoming an open, honest and friendly person is a great way to make friends with whom you'll have fun for the rest of your life.
