What should I start with ? It ‘s a bit difficult for me to express myself . I am not outgoing .So I am not used to spending much time chatting with others. Sometimes I admire some people for having so many friends to talk with so happily and randomly. However , I seldom know how to carry on with communication with others . After work , I like learning English , listening to novels and doing some reading at home. Sometimes I even think it is a waste time of going through the information of my friends on Wechat or QQ. I don’t think being good friends means telling each other everything . But I often think of my old friend who once helped me when I was in need . She is my best friend, I think . I know life isn’t easy for her . She is divorced and has to care for two daughters . What’s worse , she has no job . It is said that she earns a living by selling pancakes in a street. Yet , she is always so kind to me . Sometimes she even sends eggs to me . At the moment , I feel guilty .  How do I treat my friend ? I seldom call her and I don’t know if she lives well with her daughters.  I am selfish and sometimes I only care about myself.  I only spend time working and doing what matters to me. I seldom care for others .Why can’t I make phone calls to them or visit them ?

In the past, I often refused to go to dinner with colleagues or strangers . I thought it was meaningless. I thought what they said was nonsense . But gradually I get to know that some people are just like a book which I should appreciate . And I can learn a lot from them.  Because of the weakness of my personality , sometimes I can’t find anyone to communicate with when I am in trouble . I don’t know what ‘s the proper way to deal with some problems . In the situations , I will find how few friends I have and I am alone .

It’s time for me to think more and do more for others . And I know it is always easier to say than to do .

It's not yr fault, sometimes you must understand that someone is always different from others, but you don't have to feel guilty about that, on the  contrary we people should respect this kind of difference.

Just live the way you feel comfortable and be yrself, the world is always beautiful due to differences exist.

It does not mean that people who are good in talking, socializing are successful or happy people. In ever place I go to, there are always people who are very actively or annoyingly talking to other people, and there are some who are quiet and reserved. I would rather talk to those who are quiet and friendly.

Most of the people I know have only one or two close trusted friends only. Those who have lots of friends usually have commercial intentions.

You don't take the initiate to contact others does not mean you are an uncaring person. Not everyone can strike up a conversation easily. Seem you are a kind heart person but just don't know how to show it. You have to take the initiative to support and help those who have helped you before. Others won't know what is on your mind if you don't let people know it. There are lots of caring and nice people around so you don't have to be worried. Of course, there are people who are bad and may harm you but just ignore them because everyone come across these types of people.

Everyone has his lifestyle. Needn't to be so hard at what others think. Just to be yourself in quiet peace.

As real friendship I think people should treat friendly to each other with honesty, and to be thankful to those who helped us ever.

I called my friend this afternoon . She answered the phone with great pleasure . She was busy making the pancakes with one hand and holding the cell phone with the other .I could hear the sound of the boiling oil in the pot . I didn't dare to occupy too much of her time in case the pancakes were overburned or she might drop her phone into the hot pot . Althouth we chatted just a little and we hadn't contacted each other for a long time  , we still felt close to each other . We made the same the promise again that when we are old and the chidren grow up ,we will play and  stay together more.

Thank you for your kindness and encouragement . I understand you and agree with you . What matters is not how many friends you have but whether you have one or two trusted firends . Sometimes my friend doesn't really need my help  with living materials.But as good friends ,we should care for each other .The friendship between her and me is valuable .
