Key Ideas
Don't Gossip
Most of us want to be popular and resort to tactics like showing of and gossiping. The long term affects of being a gossip monger (losing trust and respect) outweigh any short term popularity you get.
Don't judge your friends
Most of our judgments towards our friends are wrong, and doing so leads to you being judged wrongly too.
Do not form opinions and pass judgments (not even mentally) and be happy to see your friendships blossom.
Be a mystery
Be mysterious and surprising, and not an open book to your friends.
You become more likable and sought after, and meeting you is more fun for your friends too.
Be the peacemaker
Diplomacy and restraint go a long way and while it's obvious we should avoid fights, we can push that further to become peacemakers. Ensure any group conflicts are sorted out by actively driving everyone towards the good side.
Don't forget about yourself
Take care of yourself. Work towards your health, expertise, skills, and hobbies and be a positive example in your group. Make efforts to be happy and healthy in a progressive way and this will impact your relations.

A key component of success
If friendship becomes another checkbox on your to-do list, you're probably going to miss out on good friendships.
If we put in some effort into learning how to become a good friend, the rest will come easier. With friendships, we live longer, with more laughter, less fear, and a higher quality of life.

Friend-zoning
Friend-zoning is a notion that men and women have different perspectives.
Men are more frequently attracted to their opposite-sex friends, even if they state that it's just a platonic rela...
We Don't Know Ourselves
A recent study showed that men overestimate how good-looking they are to women. Women, on the other hand, think they are less attractive to men, which is not the case.
People who think they are highly attractive may incorrectly assume that the other person is sexually interested in them.
Taking The Lead
Men look for signs or attraction more than women do, like it has always been. Men initiate the love and take the lead, deciding to move out of a platonic relationship faster than women.

Key Ideas
We see things differently
Two people can look at the exact same situation and see it completely differently.
We see life as we are, not as it is
There is no objective reality when it comes to people.
Facts may be facts, but our viewpoint and our vantage point impact our ability to process the facts. We look at life through our own personal filters, our own past experiences, beliefs, and paradigms.
Giving in relationships
If you do something for someone just because they did it for you or you want something back, you are doing business, not kindness.
If you choose to give 300 percent, then go for it, regardless of what others give you in return.
