how to make friends

I am originally from a german speaking country But live in the USA for over 10 years.
Of course there might be cultural and size differences of cities and countries. But this is universal:

There is a saying that says" (in a bad translation)
"the way you give yourself, is the way people take you"

Here is what works for me here and anywhere else:
-Be nice
-Talk to people
-ask how they are
-joke
-ask them about themselves
-help and ask for help
-understand don't judge
-don't be too serious, not even with yourself!
aaaaannnnnddddd: SMILE!

People like happy people, and will avoid at any cost unhappy, bitter and people that are just out to critic and talk down to them and others.

Be happy, smile and let people know you like them.
It will come back faster than you can even make a conversation!

Don't believe it? Try it for a day!
