How To Have More Best Friends in Life: The Heartfelt Guide

Best Friends in Life

(Originally written and published on May 17, 2011.)

Have you ever experienced times when you want a listening ear, but you can’t find one? Times when you feel lonely and down, but there’s no one you can speak to? Times when you wonder how you can have all these friends and contacts in your social media list and phone book, yet you’ve never felt more alone in this world?

I felt exactly like that last week.

Aloneness in a Sea of Friends

Last week, I was feeling depressed about something (not relevant to this post, and I don’t remember what it’s about anymore though I’ll be sure to write about it the next time it comes up) and wanted to talk to someone about it.

As I looked through my phone list for someone to reach out to, I realized to my utter disappointment that there was no one I felt I could talk to.

This is not the first time I felt this way. There have been other times where I felt there was no one there for me in this world. Times when I was down and out; when I felt I needed a break (not a rest, but like a break from the world); when I felt…

“Hi Celes, I have a small group of friends as I’m a shy person. I’m not really confident enough to go out and meet new people. I would like some advice on how I can meet new people and get more friends.” – John

Making new friends can be intimidating, but it’s definitely rewarding. After all, friends form a big part of our life. They are the ones who walk through life together, share our ups and downs and joys and pains. Without friends, life wouldn’t be the same at all. We wouldn’t be who we are if not for them.

If you are looking to make new friends, you have to get clear on what kind of friends you want to make. Broadly speaking, there are 3 types of friends. (more…)
