We all need friends to talk and accompany, to cheer us up and relieve our worries.We all need friends to help us learn from each other and work together.Everyone knows the importance of friends, but in the vast crowd, it is not so easy to find like-minded friends.In fact, the hard way to find a bosom friend is the way to make friends, and making friends with humor is an effective way to make friends.When meeting strange friends, if you have a little humor, the atmosphere will become active and the communication will be smoother. Many people have the desire to make friends, but they always suffer from the lack of an effective method. If we can speak witty and humorous, and treat people with sincerity, then one day we will all be brothers.

In a narrow alley, two cars meet.The car stopped and neither driver gave way.After confronting each other for a while, one of the drivers took out a novel and read it with relish. Seeing this, the other driver stuck out his head and shouted loudly, "Hey, man, lend me a read after you finish reading it!" One sentence made the driver who was reading a book laugh out loud, and backed up to give way.Afterwards, the two settled their suspicions and exchanged business cards.It turned out that the two people's homes were very close to each other, and later they became good friends. The sudden humor made the two drivers who were unwilling to take a step back become good friends. We have to admire the humor and generosity of the driver who gave way.Small frictions like this are inevitable in life. If the conflicts are intensified at this time, both sides will suffer, and it is impossible to make friends.However, hostility can also turn into friendship if the heat of conflict can be reduced to zero with humorous words.

There are many ways of humor among friends, which are often more tacit and more enjoyable. A play by a friend of the French writer Dumas fils was staged, and the friend invited him to watch it together.Alexandre Dumas sat in the front row, but always counted back: "One, two, three..." "What are you doing?" the friend asked. "I'm counting the people who are dozing off for you," said Dumas jokingly. Later, Dumas performed in public.This friend was also invited to watch.This time, it was my friend's turn to look for someone who dozed off, and finally found one. The friend said, "There are also people who dozed off tonight!"

Dumas looked at the dozing man and said, "Don't you know this man? He fell asleep watching your play last time, and he hasn't woken up yet!" The humor between Alexandre Dumas and his friends is based on a sincere friendship without hypocritical politeness. This kind of humor can further enhance the friendship between friends.It can be seen that humor is certainly important in the process of making friends.However, all humor must be based on a sincere starting point, so that people can feel your friendliness. Those who are good at humor must be liked and popular.Once you have mastered the humorous making friends skills, you will no longer suffer from having no close friends. Strangers will become your new friends, and new friends will become your old friends.
