Meeting people who become lifelong friends is tough; no matter how hard you try, sometimes people just don’t seem to warm to you. But how much leverage do you actually have when it comes to influencing people’s opinions of you? Well actually, quite a lot. The key to building lasting friendships is simple; you should stop trying to make people become interested in you and instead start to become interested in other people. Why is that so hard? Because you are the star in the movie titled ‘Your Life’.What you really need to do is take a step back, look at your surrounding cast members and understand that they are all starring in their own movies. That means only one thing: they are way more interested in their own movie than yours, and to them, you are just a bit part. So how do you get other people to recognise that you can have a starring role in their movie? You manipulate them! That isn’t as unethical as it sounds. People form an opinion of you in the first thirty seconds of meeting so it’s a good tactic to ensure they are seeing the very best side of you and giving them a quick insight into the benefits you can bring to their life. If you go back to the movie analogy, imagine you are interviewing someone for a role and they are argumentative and miserable; you would instantly dismiss their application on the grounds that they would be difficult to work with. The same goes for friendship; you don’t want people in your life who are going to cause you grief, you want people who will bring something positive.So let’s take a deeper look at the qualities you need in that crucial first 30 seconds of meeting someone that can ensure that they want you starring in their movie; and have them star in yours!
