Hello everyone welcome to another #weekend-engagement post for week #161, this weeks topic are pretty interesting courtsey of @galenkp, featuring prompts which are focused on the interpersonal relationship aspect of life, and it was quite difficult choosing a topic because i literally have personal perspectives in each of the prompts but i have decide to share my thoughts on my experience with making friends and creating lasting friendships featured in the topic Friendship which states "How do you go about finding new friends and creating lasting friendships in the offline world?
I would like to first start by highlighting that dynamics in friendship is greatly impacted on by the individuals in question, in my honest opinion i think friendships begin as a result similarities in interest and character, perspectives and opinion sometimes even mannerism, seeing that most individual gravitate towards one another in retrospect to this my conclusion is that friendships would not exist without chemistry .One of the major places i made my longest time friend was at an academy, i was to graduate high school in a couple of months and register with an academy in preparation for my final exams, i went there for about four months, and made friends which are still close with me till this day, we had generally slowly gravitated towards each other and if you ask me how this came about i would only think to say it was the personality and chemistry, i made two of my closest girlfriends there, one being a lot extroverted and the other calm and cool , i was right in the middle so i think we balanced each other well.teehee, We have been going strong, even if it has been almost 10 years now.
How I Find New Friends?
In my experience of nuturing Friendships or even making friends in the first place, i am one who is lowkey extroverted, in most places i find myself, i most definitely don't initiate conversations out of context with event of meeting a person i would like to make friends with. In an instance where there is mutual feeling or interest in something , this has been the most way i made friends with some one, especially in a public environment, its is more about sharing similar concern or perspective about an issue in a public or private space or gathering. Also attending places like gym sessions, or even the ice cream shop is great potential for making friends, which has worked for me. Some unpopular tips i stick to is always to dress nice and smell great, study has shown with surveys that an individual who is generally attractive not necessarily only with physical looks, are always mostly accommodated in an interpersonal relationship setting, sometimes you do not have to be the person initiate the motive, i have gotten a lot of friends from people who walked up to me majorly because i put on nice outfit.
Creating A Long Lasting Friendship
When it comes to the aspect of nuturing friendship to last, i just generally believe in making an effort, i could be in the littlest things too, friendship isn't about talking on the phone all day long, it about the unspoken commitment in different , which brings me back to chemistry .depending on the individual involved, this determines how a friendship or relationship workout .
