Idea 1: Building Personal Relationships to Find Friends

- Never criticize, condemn or complain.
Even though many people tend to criticize to have something to talk about, you will find more enemies by doing this. Remember that a person who applies self-criticism is extremely rare. Therefore, your criticism won’t be welcome. Also, criticism makes others defensive and resentful. So you need to change your life, by applying more positive reinforcement when you talk to someone, this means, saying good things about people.

- Become genuinely interested in other people.
Something we don’t want to add me, but it is true, it is that people are most interested in themselves. So a great tip to become interested in others, it is to remember people’s birthdays and other important details.
