①When you’re trying to make friends, you’ll probably meet someone who just doesn’t like you, though you’ve never done anything to him or her. Well, what should you do Here’s some advice.
②Gossip (流言蜚语) can make meeting new people difficult, especially(尤其) when people hear something bad about you. It can prevent someone from getting to know you at all. When you’re in a situation(情况) like this, it feels bad. Instead of trying to win them over(说服), however, just be yourself. As time goes by, they will see that the gossip about you is wrong. Or they may choose to believe it. Don’t worry about it and move on by being friendly to the kind people.
③You’d think that your friend’s friends would also become your friends. But it doesn’t work that way. Sometimes people are happy with the friendships they have, and they aren’t interested in adding any more. If someone chooses not to be friends with you just because you’re new to the group, it’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with you or them.
