When you have a different opinion with your friend, what should you do? One of the ways is to talk to your friend and tell him or her how you're feeling. It's always important to share your feelings with your friend.
Of course, sometimes friends do drift apart. As we grow older, our interests change and sometimes this means that a friendship may not be as close as it once was. This also means that you, too, may find a different group of friends to spend time with.
Then what should you do to keep friends? One helpful thing is to be sure you let others know you like them. Smile, talk to them, listen with interest and praise (称赞) them for the things you like about them. People naturally like to make friends with the people who understand and enjoy them.
It's also important to remember that you should always be yourself. Sometimes when you focus on "keeping friends", you might begin to do things or act in some ways that aren't normally part of your personality (个性). What's more, if your friend is unfriendly to you, that doesn't mean you should become unkind to other people. If keeping a friendship means you have to become someone who you aren't, that friendship isn't worth keeping.
