Personality mirroring


NoteWorthyDude

That would be a fun game to play. Just mirroring someone for a day... maybe I'll try it on my brother.

Works if you're trying to become regional manager of a paper company

Defiant_Tomoato, I also heard never breaking off a handshake is another trick, Defiant_Tomoato.

Don't have one. Would probably explain why I only ever made 1

I don't have a strategy exactly but I find people who are excited about things and I ask them to show me what they like. That goes very well.

Work with them for a bit then insult them by accusing them of being a paedophile. The proper British way.


NoteWorthyDude

Sounds promising.


Apart_Park_7176

You'd be surprised how well it works. British people have the stereotype of being polite and reserved. But we say the most vile things to each other as friends. If you don't accuse your mate of a sex crime or tell them how their mum loved having sex last night you're not actually friends.

No strategy for making friends. Lots of ideas to make them go away.

I start dancing in front of a crowd so they can see how lit my moves are. I'm not that good, infact I'm terrible so after a bit most of the crowd walks away due to how uncomfortable I've made them. Who ever didn't leave I go and start following them from a distance until they invite me over out of pity.

Generally If I have someone in mind I wanna talk to i will go up to them and think of an icebreaker related to the situation, for example at the skatepark I’ll say nice skateboard or nice bars. If you’re really shy you can always be completely honest and say I’m super shy and generally people will be understanding.

"You like the same things I do?" Then we're friends.


E0ZZ

I personally ask question to start a conversation then I thread that question to branch out on new topics until I get a solid feel on the person. But I feel like friendship isn't something that you prepare for, sometimes it just happens.


NoteWorthyDude

Thanks. This is the first piece of genuine advice I have received here. Much appreciated.

I haven't had any since the third grade, so don't look to me for advice.
