[font=Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", Arial, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif]Maybe you are struggling to build friendships with those around or you are new in town and want to make friends. Building strong friendships can be a challenge, especially if you are introverted or shy. Having good friends can improve your overall outlook on life and make your day to day life much more fulfilling. To make friends, you can start by projecting a confident and friendly demeanor around others. You may then attempt to build friendships with others by seeking out opportunities to socialize and then maintaining your friendships so they are meaningful and long-lasting.

  1. 1Display open body language.Many people judge confidence based on how you carry yourself and present yourself to others. You can appear confident and appealing to people by displaying open body language. This will help you project a sense of self-worth and draw more positive attention in a room full of people.[1][2]

    • [font=Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", Arial, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif][font=Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", Arial, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif]You should also take a relaxed stance, with your arms resting at your sides. Try to stand straight, with your shoulders rolled back. When you are speaking to someone, you should position your body so you are turned towards them and lean in so you can show them you are engaged in the conversation.[/font][/font]
    • [font=Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", Arial, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif][font=Helvetica, "Nimbus Sans L", Arial, "Liberation Sans", sans-serif]Avoid slouching when seated or standing and do not cross your arms over your chest. These are all signs of closed body language, signaling to others that you are not approachable or willing to be social.[/font][/font]
