One of the best ways to make friends is to find people that share your interests. If you like sports, try signing up for a gym I&E. I can guarantee that other people who enjoy the thrill of victory will be there.
How do I tell if my new friends are fake friends?
I have encountered many fake friends in my life, and there is always one common theme. A fake friend tends to have patterns of belittling you, canceling plans often, and never being there when you need them the most. An example would be, you are having a hard time in math, and your friend is very good at math. When you ask them to help you, they say they’re busy or make plans to tutor you and don’t show up.
