Try to make friends that will be there even if hardship happens, not the ones who doesn’t seem to care about you and ‘acts’ like being a friend. It’s quite rare for now, but you could find out, by the way they talk. Don’t invest too much emotions on friends until they are really ‘real’ friends. There are many ways to find friends, but the most effective way is when you see them in person. You could find friends by sparking a conversation, in the kopitiam, in the workplace, going to church, going to gyms and fitness centres, in public transportation like LRT, in Grabcar, and most importantly, try to keep them in touch when they are able to. Revolutionising your talk is also vital, as you have to keep your conversation interesting in order for the others to listen. You should try to keep your tone softer, and not keep talking about bad things about you. Making jokes is still okay at some acceptable level to keep the person engaging, but if the person purely likes to joke every single thing in the conversation throughout a few times, kindly stay away from them.
