6. Let's see

Well, to make friends it helps to talk to them. Listen to them as well. Don't share your deepest, darkest secrets right away, but sharing personal information will encourage your new friends to share more of themselves with you as well. You might want to invite them to your house or an event that means something to you that they would enjoy. Help them if they need anything that you could help with. Keep confidential information confidential.
If you have a conflict with them, do not take it as a sign that you weren't meant to be friends. Try to resolve it quickly, forgive them, and show that you are still their friend. This will make your friendship stronger.
This is just my advice and just a bare outline.

Drag. So, like you can still pay rent, right? O.K, then, can I use your car? You're too sick to drive, right? Why are you so touchy?

Patronizing, I know. It was an eye-opener for me. Off-topic, here.

[camero]

20. I would say something

But I would not like to get banned . Thank you for your understanding. No it's not off topic.

[put out]

21. I sure didn't mean to be

snide. Well, a little. Just a little slice of hell when I was younger.

Don't get banned. I like your writing. I'm sorry if that ever happened to you, when you were sick.

18. You don't make friends, they just happen.

Seeing if someone wants to go out for a beer (coffee) is fine, but trying to actively pursue a friendship with someone seems like it would be counterproductive.

Once you are friends with someone all you need to do is be yourself, and try to be a good friends.

22. Listen with your heart, then your head.

You have to be a friend to make a friend.
