Sample 1

There are only a few people in my life with whom I changed my opinion, which means I first used to dislike them. Then I started being friends with them one year ago. This instance came with a person whose name is Andrew Andrew Andrew, who is my neighbour nowadays.

Three years back. I moved to a new township that was newly constructed, and many people there were not known to each other. One day, I was walking, and I saw Andrew. I didn’t know them, but another neighbour told me he would be shifting. He would be moving soon to his apartment, so upon seeing that, I waved at Andrew and wanted to be a friend, but he didn’t respond.

I had this impression that this person had a lot of ego. That’s why you do not want to be friends with me, so in a way, I started disliking him because he used to talk to other people. Still, he was not talking to me, so that was the reason. But suddenly, my impression changed because one day, the Tire of my car got punctured, and Singh Andrew came.

He helped me fix the tyre, and then I told Andrew I did not like him because I tried to contact him, but he didn’t respond. Andrew replied that even though he wanted to contact me, he had the same impression. So this was the reason we were disliking each other.

After that, we became good friends, and now I feel perfect about Andrew because we help each other during tough times. Moreover, Andrew has a boatload of knowledge. So whenever I have some problem, I discuss it with him, and we do many activities together, as we walk together, we go to parties, and whenever we have spare time, we do something creative.

Follow-ups

1. What do you think of making friends online?

Making friends online is an easy and comfortable way. Still, one must be careful because checking a person’s identity without meeting them face-to-face is challenging, and the chances of getting duped are very high.

2. Is it a good idea to make friends who are much older than you?

Yes, it is a good idea because older people have much experience and knowledge. You gain valuable insights from them, and if you’re going through turbulent times, they can advise you to make informed decisions regarding taking your life towards an impressive growth trajectory.
