Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it improves with    1   . If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be able to take    2   . You must first go    3    there are people. You won't make friends staying home alone.

       4    a club or a group, for talking with those who    5    the same interests as you do is easier.    6    join someone in some activity.

    Many people are    7    when talking to people.    8    meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it's human    9    to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

    Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from    10    about ourselves. We 11    other people are judging us, find us too small or too short, too this or too that.    12  don't forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself    13    you are, and try to put the other person at ease. You'll never feel more    14   .

    Try to act self-confident even if you don't feel that way when you enter a room full of    15 such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look    16    at other people and smile. If you see someone you'd like to speak, to    17    something to, don't wait for the other person to start a conversation.

    Just meeting someone    18    doesn't mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is    19    on mutual liking and “give and take”. They take time and    20    to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.
