Question

Making friends is a skill.  Like most skills,  it improves with   36  .  If you want to make friends,  you must be able to take  37  .  You must first go   38  there are people.  You won't make friends staying home alone.  

　　Join a club or a group,  for talking with those who  39  the same things as you do is easier.  40   join someone in some activity.

　　Many people are   41   when talking to people.   42   meeting strangers means facing the unknown.  And it's human   43   to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

　　Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from   44  about ourselves.  We  45  other people are judging us,  find us too tall or too short,  too thin or too fat.   46  don't forget that they must be feeling the same way.  Try to accept yourself

　　  47  you are,  and try to put the other person at ease.  In this way you'll feel   48   .

　　Try to be self-confident even if you don't feel that way  49  you enter a room full of   50  such as a big hall,  walk straight in,  look   51   at other people and smile.  If you see someone you'd like to say something to,  don't wait for the other person to   52  a conversation.

　　Just meeting someone  53   doesn't mean that you will make friends with that person-friendship is   54  on mutual liking and "giving and taking".  It takes  55   and effort to develop.  And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
