Making Friends and Connections in the Bay Area

San Jose, CA

Making Friends and Connections in the Bay Area
Are you aware that in order to make friends, you have to be a friend? It's actually true--and not always as easy as it sounds. In order to be a friend, you need to be able to: 1. **Enjoy people** – Tell yourself, “I'm going to make an effort to enjoy this conversation.” Lighten up. 2. **Express yourself** – Don't hide who you are. Tell people the first thing you think about. Let them know your thoughts. 3. **Really listen** – People are precious. They deserve your full attention and understanding. Show you care--take the time to hear them out. 4. **Share** – Share your food, share your time, share your money (within reason), share your thoughts and ideas. Be willing to receive things other people share, too. 5. **Find common interests** – Chances are you can find something you have in common with everyone you meet. 6. **Take initiative** – Don't wait. Be the person to start a conversation. You have to take the lead sometimes. 7. **Be willing to make mistakes** – Not everyone you meet is a good person. It's okay to make an effort and then decide to move on. No one wins 100% of the time. Losing now and then is a part of life. And risking getting hurt is part of the adventure. 8. **Be positive** – No one wants to talk to someone who is negative all the time. It's okay to be sad; it's okay to have problems, but do you want your sadness and your problems to define who you are? Be who you want to be--so people can get to know the real you. 9. **Take responsibility for people** – Take the responsibility to help strangers and acquaintances simply because you know you want to. 10. **Spread good news** – If you know about something really fun, tell people about it. If you know of a really good place, talk about it. If you know about an amazing sale, tell others. Take action! Join our free Zoom meetings and put these tips to use right away! Remember: In order to make friend and really connect with others, you have to be a friend. Let's get started! This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center to help people improve their relationships--personal and professional--and understand what to do to connect with others and make new friends. All are welcome.
