Friends are a source of support and strength. They make difficult times easier with their wit and fun attitude. But if find yourself surrounded by toxic friends, you must gather courage to make new friends. 

Let us discuss a few ways to do so:

  •   If you have moved to a new city, school or area, stay in touch with old friends. They may have cousins or friends in that area.
  • Be outgoing and talk to new people.

  •   Speak to people with an open mind. Don’t show your arrogance or attitude. Make it easy for them and yourself to initiate a conversation.
