How can i make friend with foreigner?
I’m 16 and come from VietNam. I wanna make friend with everyone in the world, especially Japanese.
Hi Hanna,
Friendships and relationships are underpinned by principles of trust, honesty, loyalty, integrity and respect amongst other criteria in equal measure by each party to that friendship. Of these trust is not a God given right but needs to be earned over a period of time.
Whilst we may make friends with people for one or more reasons, we have to start with the assumption that their values, ethics and code of morality are pretty much in keeping with our own. After all if you are anti-drugs you’d hardly want a drug addict as a bosom friend. Similarly we have to take for granted that the principles I’ve mentioned are in place. Just as it takes time to build up trust, so too time will enable you to evaluate whether the principles I’ve mentioned are characteristic of the person.
A friendship is a two way traffic system with give and take on both sides. Compromise may be called for on occasions.
Based on this information you will appreciate that friends cannot be made on line. People you make contact with on line can generally be called no more than contacts. It is not until they help you out often to their cost in terms of time or other things they can be called friends.
I do like your attitude though. Adopt the principles I have mentoned with everyone you meet and you will make friends. For more information on friendship go to:-
