The Eyes Of A Spectator

This is a how-to I just decided to start writing on the spot. I will now attempt to write down everything I can think of that will get people to like you. Keep in mind you shouldn't follow any of this stuff or do it just to get friends, it should come from within you.

1. Meet People
The greatest way to start making friends is to first meet them. If you don't have many friends, or even none at all, or if it's really that bad, and you have "friends", go out and explore. You can find people literally everywhere, they are these things called humans and they need interaction with other humans in order to live and thrive. Society feasts on gossip, socialization, and sharing stories, as well as emotions. If your shy to meet new people, don't be, because in the end, it might be just worth it.

2. Stop reading this and go talk to someone, or go outside, something!
The only way you can retain a friendship is by talking to them, at least every now and then. You can't just make a friend and not talk to anyone, thats not how it goes. Try to do things, go places, make memories, have fun. That last one is the most important. Don't stop reading yet, there's still more.

3. Start doing something and be good at it.
Most people you meet have a talent, some have nothing at all. If you want people to be interested in you, or talk about you, in a good way, then start picking a hobby. And don't let it be drugs, or anything stupid. Pick up a guitar, play the drums, go to the gym, make some movies. You can come up with tons of ideas, and everyone wants to do something. No one ever really wants to sit at home doing nothing all day.

4. Feed People.
Food is probably one of the biggest friendship forming things. When your out with someone you'll eventually get hungry, because, well, your human, it happens. You can either eat at your house or eat out, but it doesn't really matter as long as you eat with someone. Again, another great way to meet people is to eat out too. You may just end up finding someone in that place your eating that takes interest in you, or you in them.

5. Listen
Listening is key, because in return you'll learn more about them, and on top of that you'll let them know. Remembering the things that they talk about is just as important. Birthdays, events, things they are doing, likes and dislikes are all great to know.

6. Smile!
Smile, hug, shake hands, dance, boogie, get down, have fun! The greatest thing you can do in a friendship is have fun. This sounds simple cause it is. This should be a given in any mutual relationship.

7. Be Honest
The worst thing that people can do when they first meet or ever talk at all is lie. That will stick with you forever, and it's not a good thing. There's no such thing as being too honest, and it's great when you are. Don't make up fake experiences to let people think your all high and mighty, that's just not smart, and makes you a fool, especially when you can't back it up.

8. Be Modest
Modesty is something everyone should have. You don't want to end up being the guy who keeps saying "oh look what I can do!", more around the lines of "yeah, I'm okay at it". This really attracts people, because they realize that you'll never boast yourself higher up in the today's classes of society.

9. Your the same as everyone else
Sure everyone is unique, but everyone is all equal. We all have morals, different points of views and different standards of anything. You should never treat someone lower than you, or even higher than you. You can't let anyone do the same to you too. If you find that someone who thinks they are better than you, they aren't, they are just the same.

10. Be clean
Have some manners, for gods sakes. I know people who have no respect in public, and I strongly dislike it, as does the general public. Clean yourself up, spend 5 minutes looking in the mirror to shape yourself up so that the public can actually stand you. Smell good for a bonus, and people will come flocking with a great smile on their face.

Bonus: A Trick
If you really like someone, and your not sure if you like them back, or even as friends, bare with me here, touch them when talking. This takes alot of guts to do to a complete stranger, but when you touch someone while they are talking, such as a short streak against the chest or whatever, it really attracts them. They did a psychological study on this, and the results were phenomenal. I don't know the exact numbers, but over 80% of the people who received the touching were more excited and wanted to be more social with the person that they were talking with.

Of course there's more to making friends and getting people to like you, but this is just a start.
