How to Make Your Friends Miss You

Last Updated: March 11, 2022

Do you feel left out by your friends? Do you feel your friends don't value you? People sometimes only realize the value of something when they stop getting it. If you want to remind your friends what they'd be missing out on if you weren't around, here's how to make your friends miss you.

Steps

1
Understand the squabbles and disputes among groups of young people are common. Realise that while many people have lots of friends in school, the majority of you are "friends" just because you are in the same class. We all choose our friends, but school situations don't give you many people to choose from so it's fairly likely that you will fall out at some stage.
2
Stop talking so much when you are with your friends. Make sure not to talk so much that they can accuse you of talking too much. Talk to them about interesting topics but talk less. If possible, end the conversation with a curious statement. If you can do this, then the chances are, they may want to continue the conversation with you and this time you are not the one who wants to be around them, but the opposite.
- If you speak less, then you don't seem irritating, because people find overly talkative people annoying at times.

Don't be too touchy-feely. Being touchy-feely is when you make physical contact with people too often or in an inappropriate way that they, or people around are uncomfortable with. Sometimes, people don't like being touched by someone whom they find annoying.
4
Don't appear uninvited. If they're not interested in having you around much, then they're not worth it. Don't appear uninvited in front of them. If you used to do this before and you got rude statements in return from them to stay away etc., stop being with them.
- Value your self respect and know your worth. Don't allow anyone to insult you.
5
Keep yourself busy. You may do this by moving here and there in your break time, reading an interesting book, by listening to music etc. This may keep you engaged and you won't feel the need to be around them as much.
6
Don't be the one to start the chat in social networking sites. If you find them online, ignore the fact that they are online. If they're interested in talking to you, let them start chatting first.
7
Disappear now and then. It's hard to miss someone who is always around, so try to disappear as often as possible when it is break time, as listed above. Don't use the social networking sites for communicating with your friends if you want them to miss you.
8
Know when to make new friends. Now it's really the time to move on and stop caring about such people who don't value you.
- Make new friends and stay busy with them and you'll totally forget those people.

Question

My friend texted me and said she didn't want to be friends anymore. She was my role model and my friend when I thought no one else liked me. How do I get her back?

Community Answer

It sounds like she is not a very good friend if she just texted you out of the blue end ended the friendship. It's tough when you have a history with someone, but you will probably just have to move on. Try to focus on other things, your work, school, hobbies, extra-curricular activities, etc. Try to talk to new people and make new friends. If this friendship was meant to be, maybe you two will be friends again, but for now try to just let it go.

How can I make my friend miss having fun with me?

Have fun with others in the same way you had fun with the person you want to miss you. Make him/her jealous, so he/she wants to come back.

How do I make my best friend tell me secrets?

There is no way to make your friend give you secrets, but if you want her to start telling you things more, show her that you are a trustworthy, responsible friend, and be open with her.
