Mingle with people especially funny ones, their influence will rub off on you.
It is a gradual stage

When picking friends avoid the people who are always gloomy, sad and unhappy, except there is something to gain from them.
why?

Their influence is very strong, except you are capable of changing them, they can easily influence you. For example :
They hate everything and everyone.
They complain a lot.
They are always right.
They easily hurt.
So it may be funny at first until you start behaving the same way

48 laws of power. Always avoid the unfortunate. There is a reason they are like that. I also avoid people with victim mentality. They don't ever take charge or own up to their own mistakes.

Most people wants to be friends with you because of what they can get. At my present workplace I normally hail the guys and chitchat but not close enough. I love my own space, I said I should come little closer all I do now is favours. Talking about smiling, it's makes people take you for granted. , e dey cause see finish abeg. That's a habit I want to stop.

Wisdom dey your head.

Number one rule is very important.
I tell everyone .


Make friends everywhere you go.
It would save you !!!

Yes avoid the always sad and bitter.
Those that any small thing they're telling you how bad things are with them

Don't let them kill your vibe, you can't save them !!!

Yes, always be useful,be the guy that brings solutions not the one that's complaining

I don't advise people to be too friendly on the street.
The less they know about you, the more they would respect you

I also won't advise anyone to always be smiling on the street .

Keep a nonsense face and allow people to wonder what's going on

Don't make it easy for people to have access to you.
So that they would value your attention whenever you give them.

Well done OP

No be street dey save person na God

Smiling doesn't cause see finish, your behaviour, attitude and habits does.
When I was talking about smiling I meant using it to gain friends.

People make friends because of what they can gain from you, so the only problem is that you find it hard to say no.
Saying no doesn't reduce your value, it makes people understand that obtaining your help dose not come easy

But you should understand that even if God wants to save you, if you don't act there will be no saving.

Joke with people but never be a clown, most especially when joking with women. It brings down the attraction and respect. And also destroys any romantic relationships with them, because keeping a lady happy and comfortable makes you a good friend.

Find a way to make people who hate you for no reason, like you. They end up as the best pawns.
Re: My Journey to Becoming Street Smart (Personal Experience) by NLHoodlum: 11:09pm On Oct 30, 2021
When going to buy gadgets most especially phones, don't dress like a gentleman, big boy, rather dress up like an angry man or a hoodlum and don't smile with them, speak pidgin if you can, and go in a group of 3 or more people, it will make the seller become wary of you.

I usually smile and say " No " actually. Then they draw back.

When walking at night, be alert and avoid dark places, it is very important.
Lols, that's one thing I found strange with me.

I avoid light area and like walking in the dark

Learn to keep a calm face, only an idiot acts too happy or too sad when the occasion doesn't call for it.

Some people are born charismatic, some train themselves to be charismatic. A charismatic person easily gains favour even if they are wrong.

Never argue with fools, or people beneath your level, they will drag you down to their level and defeat you with experience. The best thing to do is ignore them.

This friend of mine was also seen as a weak man and guys use him the way they see fit. So I decided the first thing we do is to get fit.
So we both hit the gym the weekend of the week I met him. Well I am not talking about the normal gym you probably know, but the one in the hood. We met men doing their routine and asked them if we could join them. They accepted and we began exercising with them.
While working out, I occasionally told jokes I found on the Internet, sometimes here on Nairaland. I Gist them on relationships problems I read here and so on.

Our bonding there became better little by little. By the end of that month we were already good friends. When I received my pay that month, I hosted a little party where we all drank bullet and smoked. Being lively and that solidified our bond. They saw me as a friend worth having and even proposed to teaching me how to fight, which I gladly accepted.
