I want to put much more effort into my relationships and even make more close friendships, I feel that I have neglected this a lot, I think the reality is making friends when youre older is a lot harder, since most friendships are a product of being an environment with likeminded people for long periods of time, or sharing common interests, I also think modernity makes people shy aware from being more open about their intentions. Ironically I met people I keep in touch and care about via online means.

I think the best way today to make friendships is maybe to improve myself as much as possible and be a person other people want to be around, what are your thoughts?

Sure, if your goal is really to be someone others want to be around. Its not 'big secrets', its 'obvious shit'. But shit that works, or at least it always has for me.

Eg. he says if you want to be considered an interesting conversationalist, encourage someone to talk about themselves. Basic as fuck I know but it works.

Yes this book is good but if you apply it's advices to people who are not worth it, it's extremely energy sucking.

Agree. You need filters to keep out those who don't deserve it

The book is extremely good if you apply the advice, which is extremely easy because it's all actionable and simple. People who shit on this book are friendless autists. They aren't even naturally extroverted chads, as those people have never heard of it .

Alexander Pichushkin, a Russian serial killer who killed at least 48 people, claimed this was his favorite book. He learned how to be charismatic enough to gain trust from complete strangers by reading it. It probably has some value.

>After studying the American self-help book How to Win Friends and Influence People, Pichushkin devised his method of killing; he would observe the crowd outside Bitsevsky Park, single out the loneliest and most vulnerable person, and lure them deep into the park. With each victim, he proposed they take a walk to his dead dog’s grave and share a toast; once the victim was lured into his trap, they were done for. All but two of them, to be exact.

Honestly im mirin. Seems like he only killed because he was bullied so much, feel sorry for him.

Yeah read the book, apply it, go to places where there's people and you'll make friends guaranteed. Just keep it going and you're set when it comes to social life. Although I'd say you need to tailor it a good bit when talking with the opposite sex

Just fucking get yourself into situations that make you share experiences with other people, instead of reading some shitty book

Yes but I think the book is poorly titled.

I would consider this unironically a life changing book.
