Tips On How To Have A Happy Friendship

By Margaret Burgess


Are happy friends what you want to have? This is a very important question. It's unlikely you want friends who don't smile and laugh. Would you enjoy meeting friends who look serious? Chances are, none of us would.

What about ourselves? Are we able to make happy friendships? Do you think you make your friends happy? Do you think it is better if we first analyze our own selves before we think about others? When we are with our friends, do we smile more often? Do we laugh at the smallest joke? When we are with our friends, do we have a serious expression on our face all the time? The first thing we need to do is to correct whatever we can and think about our own behavior.

How to make happy friendships

Make yourself look happy with your friends and your friends will reflect. This is what is considered the secret of happy friendship. Our body language is what reflects our emotions. Equally true is the reverse. Do you think this is helpful? It is actually. It can change our state of mind by changing our physical state. For instance, even if you are feeling bored, you will start becoming cheerful if you try to look cheerful. This works even though it is strange. During times when you are feeling sad, try to look happy. Have you noticed how the sadness goes away then? Isn't it great?

Great ways on how you can talk with friends

When we are with our friends, happiness would also depend on what we talk about. Do we also listen to them or are we always talking about our own life? The best way to make friends happy is to listen to them. Do it carefully and listen. No pretensions. If someone heard them out without interruption, then your friends will be happy. You will also be making your friendship stronger. Listening is very good. We are making the other person feel important when we listen. Also, we would make him or her feel happy or relieved. By talking things out, one feels relieved. Isn't it?

Give and you shall receive- the third law of Newton. Apply this law in your life and make happy friends. Right now, you can make them happy just by telling them how much you appreciate their friendship. Listening to your friends, keeping a happy state of mind in their company and appreciating the friendship will make happy friends. Make your life happier and your relationships stronger with happy friends.
