By now you might have asked “So how does one make lifelong friends like that?”, it is not easy. So here are some friendship hacks to boost your luck to meet and make your lifelong friends:

1.     Honesty is the best policy

Being honest is great for both your conscience and relationship with others. Do not be scared to tell the truth about how you feel to your friends. True friends will appreciate and be grateful for your honesty. This is why being honest is really important to build a strong, truthful relationship. Otherwise how would you feel to be in a relationship with people who you cannot trust.

2.     Be adaptable

People who have lifelong friendships are flexible and forgiving. Being flexible means that to allow yourself to grow and change as the relationship goes on. Same goes to your friends. While being forgiving means that you should realize that rather than cling to the past, and stuck with it, you should just celebrate with each other as who you are now.

3.     Make time for each other

In a relationship, it is strongly recommended to have and spend time together. Have some time talking, sharing, and creating new memories together.

4.     Get curious

Develop curiosity, listen to your friends. You will learn more about your friends and even help them with their problems. If you find yourself constantly just talking about yourself, your own life, and often asking advice for yourself from them, take a moment and switch things up. Maybe now you can ask questions about them to tell more about themselves.

Hopefully these hacks can help you to build and improve your relationships with your friends and maybe even start lifelong friendships! There are more ways to make lifelong friends, as there are many types of relationships and people. In the end, it is up to you to build your own relationship with others, so go out there and start finding what suit you the best.
