How to be a Friend- a Tutorial

How to be a Friend- a Tutorial

We've all been there. A wallflower. An outcast. A loner. That one person that's by themselves at social gatherings, school, parties, etc. You've probably just walked right past them, without even giving them a second glance. They've learned to just blend in with the wallpaper, with their surroundings and with their environment.

Well, why don't you ever just approach someone who's lonely and start talking to them? Because it's not cool? Because your friends wouldn't approve? Because you wouldn't approve your friends doing that? Or because you just plain don't want to? 

Look, pal, I need you to think about this for a second. Why do you ignore them? I mean, is it going to hurt you to go up and say hi? Are you physically disabled and not able to strike up a conversation with that person? I mean, it's not that hard to say "Oh, hi, I'm ____". 

I mean- that "hi" could have been a big change in that person's life. Come on, be a neighbor. Maybe you guys'll even become friends.
