Surely I am not the only person out there that has a need for companionship and or friendship. Yet with all the billions of people in the world why are there so many of us that are lonely? Yet there are lonely people everywhere. We read about them in articles in the newspaper, or witness lonely people just walking the streets. You can even find lonely people on the internet all the time. So why is it people can never seem to make new friends? How do we make new friends? Where do you start? How about starting with yourself? Can you make yourself your bestfriend? Sure, why not? Try to treat yourself the way you treat your friends. You would not want a friend to be negative or to stay at home because you do not have someone to do something with. Try doing it by yourself. Go to the movies.
Even go out to eat. Do something that you love to do even if you have to do it by yourself. You might even find someone that is in the same boat that you are out doing what they love best and by themselves. Be yourself, put your best foot forward and say hello to the people around you. You would be surprised what a “Hello” would do for someone else. Remember to be a positive person. Being negative not only pulls you down but it pulls the people around you down as well. If you find it hard to talk to people in person try using your new skills by talking to people on the internet. If you do not want to talk in chat rooms, try playing games and talking to people in the game rooms. I have found that they are all in the same shape that you are or they would not be online playing games. Give yourself a break, and reach out to someone else.
