I believed it was going to be difficult to make new friends. I was not sure how they reacted to new people or how their personalities were. I also was not sure how to approach them. When I began to talk with my new classmates, I realized we have many common interests. Making new friends became easier for me overtime by simply finding common interests and being kind to others.

To start off, some people have a hard time making friends and they often go on with life without the excitement of having friends, to

Ever since I was in middle school, making friends was easy. I was told by many of my peers that I was pleasant and easy to talk to, and that I was always so happy. Looking back through all my years of middle and high school, the degree of inaccuracy that statement

When you fully commit to changing your perspective by thinking with a constant positive mindset, the possibilities become endless because now you will attract the target of your focus. People always have a tendency to focus on the negative especially with their ex because it is sticks in the mind. When your ex says something extremely disrespectful and hurtful, instead of stooping down to his level, simply respond with the most loving and calm voice “I understand that you are angry right now, but let’s work through this.” This will throw him for a loop because he wants you to become emotional like him and it is not working. Positivity is contagious no matter

Optimism is a powerful thing. We know it more commonly as hope. Hope empowers us, and lets us press on even in the face of defeat. However, having too much of it can be dangerous. The Jews for example, during World War II, they had too much hope, and they wound up dead. Allow me to expand.

Being in rough times can cause many people to become emotionally distressed. However, having a positive mindset helps to make it bearable. Finding the light in the darkness can help to sustain even the most horrendous situations as did Anne Frank in “The Diary of a Young Girl” and Shmuel in “The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas”. Thinking about the future, staying positive, and being grateful help to pull you through the roughest.

People don't realize the power that positive affirmations have on your life. I too am guilty of not believing that affirmations would help my situation but I was wrong. I was at the point in my life where I had low self esteem and I was hard on myself. I didn't think good things would ever happen to me because I had been through so much. I know everyone can relate to this at some point in life.

Imagine having your loved one picked for you. Imagine not having any say. You could not take time to meet someone you truly love, or even say no to someone you feel you cannot be with. The fathers would choose for you. That is how the world used to be, yet now we can find anyone, and not be told who to love. But how do you know who to love? You must ask yourself what traits you are looking for in a person?

At the core of all our thoughts, feelings and actions is the communication of neurons and Brain waves are electrical pulses from them communicating with each other. However, brainwaves are a topic for another day. Today’s topic is

Being able to make new friends will be hard at times because you don’t want to be awkward. Well it doesn’t have to be. All you have to do join a club or just start talking to a classmate in one of your classes. After that, most likely they will have another class or have lunch with you. When I first came here I got a completely new friend group be old friends were kind of a bad influence on me at that time. Making new friends will be a thing that you will always have to do, at college, getting hired at a job, etc. When you make new friends, you guys can hangout after school, go to games, and school dances. It may be hard at first but, in the end you will come out with good

Positive psychology principles that assist with the last four stages of Erikson’s psychosocial development are: resiliency, using assimilative and accommodative processes, telling our life story, and having positive posttraumatic growth.

I found this out in the summer prior to my freshman year at marching band camp. I only had a handful of friends that went onto taking band into highschool and it was a challenge being a shy kid in a crowd of upperclassmen and that handful of friends. I was far too nervous to go out and make new friends, but with the push from one of my friends, I was able to get out and talk to people. It almost became a game between me and my good friend, we had one person in particular who was our target to befriend, and he was our band’s junior drum major.

Along with struggling to forgive others, I also have a hard time making new friends. I have always been sociable with people who I know but I don’t know how to approach new groups of people. I think people will judge me for being too friendly so I avoid trying to make new friends. Not opening up to a new people made a new struggle in my life when I first started college

It is pretty easy to make friends in your peer group. But it is hard when it comes to true friendship and may be even harder when we reach to a level of best friends forever. Isn’t it amazing when one understands us as the same way and accepts how we are! That’s where human relations start its race. The ability to interact with other people is definitely a hard way to follow. Each of the persons has their own qualities, character and culture difference. That’s what it makes everyone unique.
