    Having been working online for a long time, I always love going out on a cool weekend afternoon and I always make friends wherever I go.
    Nothing is more refreshing for me like going out with friends and meeting other friends, especially while enjoying a cold beer. The drink always quietens my nerves and I am able to open up to new people. This is the time to share about politics and sports and to catch up on the latest trends.

    Unlike making friends on social media, meeting up with them live and being able to share ideas feels more real.

    Sometimes you can make friends and other times you don't. When am outdoors I meet different people,others are friendly while others are not. As for me I greet them, if they get interested with me l normally get to know them more, but if they are not interested l keep quiet.

    Friends are important, to get new friends depends on how you approach them and their moods at that time. Sometimes when you talk to someone when they are angry, they won't reply you. When outdoors it depends with the situation of the person. Thank you for the question.

    When I go out am with my parents, never felt the need of making a friend apart from my parents as they are the best friends. And I do find many people arrogant so I try to avoid and speak to the one that are friendly.


    No offence to anyone on the forum we can all be friends.

    I dont find it hard to make friends when am outdoor. I just try to seem as natural as possible. Not that I don't have my personal insecurities. I was actually quite shy sometime back but after meeting many new people I got used to it.
    Making friends shouldn't seem like a task. It should be a hundred percent natural.

    I'm not very social when it comes to the real world. I do have a lot of friends in real life, but when it comes to meeting
    new people, then they would usually be the first to greet me. After greeting them we get to talk and become friends.
    Making friends isn't hard for me, it's just I'm not the type of person to start a conversation.

    We can always find friends anywhere. Wherever you are, whatever your life status is, there is always a good friend out there that you can find.

    It's important to be careful with who you bring closely into your circles, and into your life. Making the wrong set of friends can affect many things in your life. It can affect your life for the better or for the worse if you’re not careful. It’s important to be somewhat picky and choose wisely who your close friends are.

    It’s good to have many acquaintances and people that you can talk to and be social with. But, when it comes to making good friends that will last, you should be very cautious not to bring in people that could hurt you, use you, or take advantage of you in any way.

    Friends are important to have, even if it’s just one healthy friendship. It’s not about quantity because having one or two really good friends can be much more beneficial when it comes to having a healthy and happy social life.

    Friends are the most valuable people that keeps my spirit on the move as always. Most of the friends am connected to i met them while i was outdoors, especially when am at my work place. Every first expression one gets or gives dictates the kind of friends one will make. Going out on trips, hiking or camping is an adventurers experience that brings me much more closer to new people that get to be good friends at the end.

    Over the course of the years, i have made a lot of friends, some are to this day one of the closest people to me as they stood by my side through thick and thin, whenever i needed help of any kind they were there for me, no questions asked this is how valuable friends can be to anyone's life. As for going out, i usually do so with a couple of friends so i'm not really inclined to make new ones but that doesn't stop me from meeting new people and trying to get to know them better.

    If ever I meet new people by chance when I go out, I will ask him or her to be my friend and also if he/she is willing too. If not it is okay, I respect people's decision. But I did not easily ask everyone to be my friend because not all of the people that we meet outside are good strangers. Honestly, I'm not really a friendly person before because I'm afraid to talk to other people that they might reject or snob me, but eventually I learn how to socialize to the society already and it is not that bad at all. It also feels great to talk to people by your own initiative and so far I enjoy talking with random people. I'm just glad and thankful that most of them that I have met are kind people and very nice to talk to. And if you make friends with people that you newly meet outdoor, you can also gain new things and you will have an idea to different people's traits. It will be very helpful to you for you to be able to adjust to the society's trends.

    Yes I do, I believe that making new friends helps boost your self-esteem. During outdoor activities one is open to making friends because most activities involve working as groups, sharing ideas, learning each others tradition and skills hence creates an educative and fun environment. Making friends is really healthy it helps relieve stress since when you hangout you get distracted from your day to day problems. Helps learn other people cultures, helps improve skills and share ideas and most importantly creates peace and harmony among people.

    I would really encourage people to make friends when they participate in outdoor recreation.

    I am an introvert with a slight degree of ambiversion. Thus, it's hard for me to make friends with strangers. Whenever I'm soaked in a new environment, it takes me at least a week to adjust. When I totally adjust to the environment, I start gaining acquaintances whom I will casually talk with.

    Most of the time, I go out alone. When I go shopping, eat my favorite foods, and go back to my favorite places, I prefer to do it alone. There are seldom moments that I go out with friends, both bestfriends and/or acquaintances, and I make sure I'm part of the interaction. These moments with friends include eating new foods, exploring new places, or just hanging around elsewhere chitchatting until midnight.
