I was the kind of person who tended to maintain friendships with a small number of people over a long period of time. I used to think no other kinds of friendships could be seen as the real friendships. Strange as it seems, all of us have some sort of problems when it comes to making new friends: to introduce yourself, to communicate, to talk to a person who we never met before. However, we can’t get to the full happiness if we do not open ourselves to potential friends.

Never will the friendships maintain if you refuse to be exposed to new things and new people. Clearly, we just have limited things to share with our friends. To refresh ourselves, to make you continually interesting, there is no better choice than getting in touch with new people. For instance, you get on a travel and make new friends who are funny enough to have a lot of “accidents”. Next time you meet your old friends you can just tell them, ‘hey guys, you can’t believe how funny that shopkeeper is’. That will lead you to happiness definitely.

To feel happy, a good social relationship is essential. So we are supposed to have various friends including teachers, doctors, dancers and so on. On the contrary, if we just have a small number of friends, hardly can we get support from them when facing various professional problems because of the limited quantity of friends. They may help you when you undergo a terrible love affair. But what about when you need one to fix your computer? More friends, after all, mean more ways to handle a bad situation.

Besides, there are many other reasons why many new friends are important for happiness. Without doubt some heart to heart friends are important but we should not ignore the importance of making new friends. They are both of significance to happiness.
