3 steps to creating your own version of how to make a friend
These three steps are, briefly, how I created my version. Now, you too can do the same… 
1. Make a list
Start a list of all the specific things your friends have done for you, to you, or with you that helped deepen your friendship.
- Did they take you shopping?
- Did they buy you lunch?
- Did they talk with you and make you feel welcome at the party when no one else would?
The list should go on and on (shoot for 100). The more specific you are with each item, the more useful your list will be and the easier it’ll be to reach 100.
2. Triage your list
Now that you’ve made this long list, cut it down to the best 5-10 items, the items that were game changing for you.
These are different for everyone, but in general you probably experienced them at either your highest or lowest points in life. They’re the moments when you felt your deepest pain but a friend did something to encourage you. They’re the moments when you felt most intensely happy and loved and a friend was right in the middle of it.
Pick out those specific items and figure out what exactly your friends did to make them happen.
3. Recreate your list for someone else
Over the next too weeks, work from your tighter list and try to recreate those situations for other people.
If you did the first two steps, then you should have some phenomenal examples to work from. Those examples are the things that made you friend your friends. By repeating them for others, you can effectively make friendship opt-out, which is exactly what you want.
Welcome to the life of a friender.
Serving Suggestions:
(1) Create those amazing moments… make friends.
(2) And make it difficult for friends not to be your friend.
