Here is an odd one.
Airing out the laundry here folks...
What makes a friend a friend?
How do you make a friend, your best method or your personality?
This is not to reference Covey and "How to win friends and influence people".
I want to know what makes you successful in friendship.
Sure you have to apply some techniques when you feel a friendship is on the rocks and is worth keeping up to snuff. However, how can you folks illustrate what makes a person a genuine friend or a casual acquaintance?
Paint a picture for us...
My stance on the issue is that I have to be myself. If people are drawn to me through all of the deep philosophical talk I tend to spout off immediately after introducing myself, we may have a promising future.
In my younger days like my early twenties and adolescence I would try to adapt and change my persona to present some kind of yes man. That approach never got me very far. It didn't get me far in love or friendships either.
Sure, what I am saying is nothing more than the old "Be Yourself" cliche.
I used to be challenged with the question of "Jose, what are you into, what interests you?" I never seemed to be able to say much because I just wasn't into the cookie cutter type stuff like Music or Atari 2600/Nintendo or GI Joe. My thing was cars, speed(velocity) and thought. That expanded to writing, photography, travel and the appreciation of a fine wine or spirit. Not to mention the ladies.
What's your story?
