Not sure if I'm the right person to give advice as I've had no friends for years (not counting my family). But when I was younger and had some people I could count as friends, we usually bonded over common interests. It's probably easier to get to know other people if you've got something in common with them, though that might not always lead to a "real" friendship.

There is this kid we were firends

he stole my desk at school

literaly

then my math book and copied getting him through year

we are not friends anymore

 

Edit: forgot to mention we got in fight he kept on trying get me in headlock to choke me out so I threw him on ground and punched him in mouth

he got me in a headlock then did something to my neck and couldn't move without hurting for 20-30mins

he had no regrets

I don't know how to make friends, I'm just not good at it.

[Emerald Heart 24,943]

I dunno bro I'm just a very open person. It's super hard to explain. I make friends pretty easily, but just because I like talking and stuff. 

I'm also not afraid to walk up to someone and start a conversation. I'll compliment something, and then ask them their name then try striking up a convo.

Or I make friends through my other friends.

1. Don’t be me. Friend-making made easy. 

[Splashee 28,566]

Kidnapping doesn't work.
Tying up with rope against a chair, doesn't seem to work either.

 

There must be a more effective way to make friends with people?

@Lucky Bolt oh...stop...it! 

@Deltroz I'm no super friend maker, but if I may suggest, don't think too much about it. Just pay attention to others and welcome them to be themselves around you. It goes a long way to learn to appreciate others and admire them for who they are.

[ExplosionMare 18,085]

Just give yourself time to know a person. You don’t have to do anything crazy, just get a conversation going. Start with something basic. Usually people my age ask how old we are first cause we’re all young but if you’re older then maybe you could ask about hobbies or something.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

Don't ask me, I don't know how to do that at all.

 

I guess one thing I could say is having social skills helps.

I figured it out, it's been a couple years and I just had to get out of the house. I started bmxing and now that I'm at the skatepark everyday I have reliable friends I can trust. Thanks for the input tho

Bro you're probably not as bad as you think you are. That a hurdle I had to get over is learning not to care about what people think. Just get outa the house if you want to talk face to face or get super involved with discord stuff if you wanna stay on the internet. People will like you, don't worry

By not panicking and running away when a friend really needs you for one....

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the tips. 

[TBD 17,256]

For me it's just happen. Sometime the person is the first to go up to me to talk and once we get the conversation going, the next thing I know we're friends. I think the main hook to knowing a person is a friend is having common interests.  Yeah I know, it's obvious but it's essential.

 

[Pandora 38,077]

Make sure things go both ways like sometimes you start a conversation and then they 

don’t ignore potential friends (I myself hate being ignored, nothing hurts more than that..)

small talk 

share your interests

[ZethaPonderer 2,199]

How to be friends with everybody,

1. Don’t be yourself. EVER. Be a Hypocrite. Lie. Cheat. Manipulate. And Benefit.

2. Don’t talk about anything that’s deemed personal be it mental issues, race, opinion, BUT ESPECIALLY Politics and Religion. Talk about Shallow, Irrelevant and Inconsequential things.

3. You don’t. Friendship is Tragically Dead at this day and age for a lot of people. Even worse, a forbidden way to live Life to your Fullest for some people that only the rebellious edgy teens out there would strive for.

 

Looks like I’m failing at all 3. Must be doing something right.
