Would you like to get together sometime?”👉 Someone has to take the first step—and it is okay if that person is you.Be Genuinely CuriousAsk thoughtful questions and listen to the answers.Pay attention to what someone cares about.Follow up on the details they share.Feeling remembered is one of the ways people begin to feel valued.Let Yourself Be KnownYou do not have to share everything immediately.But connection deepens when you offer something real.Share an honest opinion.Admit when you are nervous.Talk about something meaningful to you.👉 Friendship grows when two people gradually stop performing.Stay Consistent Without Forcing ItCheck in.Follow ...
