We usually make friends with people we have something in common with, feel comfortable with and whose company we enjoy.
More often than not, people who are popular, good looking and/or rich will be having friends who use them for their own agenda.
In contrast, to shy people who have a few close friends, confident people seem more approachable and thus make more friends.
People who only talk may be entertaining for a while, but if they don''t listen in return, people tend to look for a way to escape.On the other hand, people who are honest draw others to themselves because ironically, they don''t tell what people want to hear but what they should hear!
A person needn''t be an A+ student, (intelligence in no way guarantees drawing people) but if he''s uninformed, then people will wither away from him. People who are usually clueless about what''s happening around them tend to lack people skills too.
People need the satisfaction of knowing that their friends are there to give help and support in times of need.Since they are involved in various clubs, communities and activities, they will meet more people because most of these groups involve interaction between people. Such people attract friends because people hope to bring some fulfilment and activity into their own lives by befriending such people.
Optimistic people will have more friends because their positive approach and cheerfulness draws people to them. People who look at the down/negative side of everything (better known as pessimism) tend to have fewer friends because their negative energy puts people off.People are, in fact, often scared of over sensitive people because they don''t know what may offend them and cause them to start bawling!It is true that every individual has his/her own preferences as to whom he/she would like to be friends with. People prioritise different qualities that they would like in their friends. But the next time you see someone everyone loves and wants to be friends with, you can be pretty sure what he/she is made of!
