An effective way to make friends with foreigners who are very different from their cultural backgrounds, customs, and social systems is to follow the conventions and conventions of the international community when communicating with others.

Generally speaking, when making foreign friends, there are several international practices.

1. keep your promise.

In interpersonal communication, "words must be believed, deeds must be done".

It is the basic education that people should have.

When dealing with foreign friends, when it comes to appointments and business dealings, they need to talk about credit, keep promises, not make promises or break promises.

Only in this way can we consolidate our friendship.

2. enthusiasm is moderate.

In interpersonal communication, Chinese people have always advocated that friends should be "able to speak without saying anything," and advocate that "caring for others is more important than caring for yourself".

But in foreign countries, people generally advocate individuality supremacy, oppose any form of interference in individual independence and violate personal dignity.

Too much concern for others or too much interference will make the other side resentment.

Therefore, when dealing with foreign friends, we must be warm and friendly, and respect each other's personal dignity and individuality.

3. respect privacy.

Foreigners generally believe that respecting their individuality and independence and maintaining their personal dignity must respect their privacy.

Even family members, relatives and friends must respect each other's privacy.

Therefore, when dealing with foreign friends, we should consciously avoid any form of personal privacy involved.

Do not take the initiative to inquire about the age, income, marriage, family, health, experience, address, birthplace, religious beliefs, political opinions, and what is busy.

4. ladies first.

In foreign countries, especially in western countries, people pay more attention to women's priority. It requires adult men to take the initiative to behave and behave in a personal way, respecting women, caring for women, caring for women and protecting women, and working hard to solve problems for women at all times.

Those who can do so will be regarded as well bred.

5. don't be too modest.

For foreigners, self confidence is the first thing to do.

For personal ability and self-evaluation, we must be realistic and bold and bold.

Those who dare not admit their abilities and who are self belittling at will are either in fact or hypocritical and have ulterior motives.

Therefore, when dealing with foreign friends, do not be too modest, especially do not self deprecate, so as not to be misunderstood.

Sometimes, in contact with foreign friends, it is unavoidable to encounter some scenes that I have not yet experienced or are difficult to deal with.

At this moment, the best way is to take a quiet look at other people's practices, and strive to "follow the crowd" and keep consistent with everyone.
