Meeting New People

This is something that everyone has to deal with all the time.  Whether we enjoy the people we meet or not is generally up to us.  There can be those people that just have that attitude that clash with yours or there are those people that you click immediately with.  But another factor is time. With time a friendships can be created or in other cases fall apart.  Ill focus on the positive side though.  Ill use the example of Lightning Mcqueen and Mater.  If you dont know who these characters are, I'm sorry, you really should.  They were a car and a tow truck that lived in two different worlds.  When they first met Lightning didn't like Mater at all, in fact Mater freaked Lightning out quite a bit.  Their friendship didn't start developing until Mater had to watch him on night and they went out and did tractor tipping.  They had a really good time and their relationship developed from there. 

That is how most friendships start.  I've met a lot of people in my life and sadly I probably don't remember half of them.  But others I will never forget. More than likely its because I had a really good time with them or many good times with them.  Take my college friends for example.  There were six of us and granted it was quite difficult getting us all together but we always had our good times. 

In order to keep a good healthy relationship with your friends you have to understand them.  Its important to know what upsets them and how they react when they are upset so it can best be avoided.  Or what makes them smile and laugh. 

Its kind of like becoming friends with a younger kid.  Little kids are very quick to judge. Sometimes they don't even like people when they first see them or vice versa.  Although some people can change their minds with a bribe or something along those lines. 

The bottom line is that we need to keep the ones we care about happy and feel secure. And then for the most part everything will work out.  Then we just have to deal with the ones that we dont get along with.
