A few tenets to follow, an open mind and a belief to make things work always results in good things.

I sometimes find myself wondering the next thing to say in a conversation.<br />One thing I have learn is never be too judgemental about people. If you are, you may miss out on someone who may become your best friend. Also, you shouldn't expect your friends to be like youSwapnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18315204389099732161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611609.post-58468399962270819162012-11-06T18:12:05.087-06:002012-11-06T18:12:05.087-06:00very thought provoking post Nupur and well written...very thought provoking post Nupur and well written too :-)<br /> I understand and have been through some issues that others have mentioned here...but, eventually I've learned finding your inetrest groups in your community is a sure way to meet with friends and be open-minded to meet and make friends.

You shouldn't have to put up with such people at all. Either meet them in a neutral location like a park or restaurant if you want to hang out with them, or find other friends!!
