I am sorry to know that you are having trouble in making friends. However, the situation is easy to change if you take my advice. Here are some tips to help you.

To begin with, why not be a friend first if you want to make friends? In addition, wouldn't it be a good idea if you share happiness and sorrow with your friend? Just as a saying goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Last but not least, it would be a good idea if you put your heart into making friends. It is well-known to us all that friendship calls for time and effort.

I hope you will find these ideas useful. Yours， Li_Hua
