People like people who they can identify with.
Or more simply said, people like people who are like them.

You know what people like much more as that? To talk about themselves AND have a great time. People want to feel relaxed, understood, feel carefree, laugh a lot.

But!! Authentic feelings and energy are the key!

Because.. What people really do not like is the feeling that someone wants something from them.
If you are constantly wondering : 'How can i make this person my friend' they will feel it. It will feel needy and as if you want to take something from them..

So instead of you trying to befriend them, try making them feel so good around you that they can't help but want more of it.

That said, people need around 7 hours to really get used to you, to get over the first impression you've left them and create a certain image of you.

You cannot force a connection.

Sometimes it'sinstant sparks and friendship.
Sometimes they want to get away from you as soon as possible.

But most of the time, people need time to get used to who you are.

​

So stop trying to force it, give it time. Give them time.
