It's no secret that friends make us happy.
However, this does not mean that you should strive to make new friends almost every day: instead, you can breathe new life into old friendships.
The following methods will help you with this.
Make time for your friends all the time
Interesting figures: according to scientists, it takes us about 50 hours of interaction to go from acquaintances to friends, about 90 hours for friendship to transform into friendship, and 200 hours to become a person’s best friend.
We don't argue, all of us are very busy, which is why we don't devote enough time to our friends and even forget about the birthday of a loved one. It's easy to fix the situation - add tasks like "Ask Masha how she feels" or "Find out from Petya how the interview went" to your diary.
Try something new
While there is nothing wrong with consistency, newness only deepens the friendship.
Think about something new you could do with an old friend, like going on a trip or taking a pottery class together.
Maintain a positive attitude
In friendship, it is important that both you and your friend feel loved, accepted, and supported.
Showing genuine interest in your friends' lives, compliments, and support will help strengthen your relationship. If you're feeling down or depressed, don't hide it, but let your loved one feel differently. It's easy to admit that you've been feeling sad lately, and then ask how your friend's last trip went.
Previously, we talked about how to prepare for an online interview.
