Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Understand that the world is full of differences

    Most importantly, don't grumble if your friend is not the quintessence of your idea of perfection.

    Just because she is your friend, doesn't mean that she has to be what you want! Always know that you do not have to be 'perfect' to be a friend. 'Perfection' is non-existent.

    You just have to be kind, helpful, and trustworthy to be a good friend.

    Learn to love yourself, and stop comparing yourself to others.

    You are what you are! Love yourself for your strengths and love yourself for your weaknesses, and work on improving them.

    Know that as long as you do not harm anyone, as long as you behave in the way humans should behave, you are alright.
  2. Step 2: and not everyone is the same.

    There is a thin line between changing for the better and changing completely.

    You should not change yourself just for some people.

    However, if they welcome you pleasantly when you try to talk to them, make friends happily, but don't push it too far.

    You are still new people! Don't stick to them like a limpet.

    You don't want to scare them off! You don't want to be like a friendship-hungry person who follows the unfortunate new friend like a puppy dog. , If they are correctable, correct them, if not, leave! Be more friendly and look approachable.
