How do you make a friendship grow?
I’m not the expert on friendships. I know people. It seems like I know how to not agitate people. On the other hand, I’m excellent at making people mad.
Let me make you a list of how to not agitate people that you want to keep as friends.
- Don’t always win at trivial pursuit.
- If you can’t help winning, then don’t gloat.
- If you can’t help gloating, then you are a jerk and don’t deserve friends yet.
I feel like I should make another list because the previous one might not not very helpful to you. However, it will be especially helpful to me. If I can talk anyone into playing trivial pursuit ever again, I will be ready to play nice. Sorry for being a jerk before, I promise I will be nicer. There will be no dancing around the table until every one is gone.
- Make your friends feel special. It’s not always about your issues. Sometimes it’s about them.
- Be honest. Don’t let them go out looking like a hot mess. If it can’t be helped, at least go out in public with them to show your support. Maybe mess up your hair a little to be even more supportive.
- Loyalty. Always choose your friends. Well, almost always, there are exceptions. Other people will come and go who are not really your friends. Choose wisely.
You know a lot about friendship! The world need more good friends. Here’s a post I wrote on the topic of friendship which was inspired my children and their friends https://familyanswersfast.wordpress.com/2013/11/13/how-to-find-and-be-a-friend/ .

I’ve found that friendship takes work, and you have to invest your time and make the effort for good adult friendships! And not dancing around the table when you win a game… that’s a big one, too!
