Developing Friendships Making friends is one of the most crucial factors in our life. You need to learn how to read people and their personalities. You don’t want people to think that you’re not interesting, or that you’re way to interesting. Here are three ways that can help you make friends easier. When you first meet a person, you have to figure out how your going to approach that person and introduce yourself, and if you would like to be friends with that person. If your in the work place you would naturally approach them and talk to them about sports or maybe their hobbies. In the last eight weeks, we have learned that interpersonal communication is a process. Griffin begins his book with this and tries to use different sports and games to show what communication IS and what it is NOT.
