What is defamation[/SIZE] in the first place?. It is defined as communication that is false, or made with a careless disregard for the truth, and results in injury to the reputation of a person.

Your actions speak louder than your words. If there's no need to talk, why talk??Some things don't require explanation,some questions don't require answers. If you talk too much, you'll only annoy others. Besides. one test of friendship is if people can sit quietly together without feeling uncomfortable. If you're a good friend, that quality will be reflected in your actions and attitude. In any relationship, USE WORDS CAREFULLY- and only if NECESSARY.
Stay Cool. No one likes to be with a quick-tempered person. If you easily lose your temper with a simple joke or a minor issue you will alienate people. They will think that you have no sense of humor- or worse that you're a war freak- and they will avoid you. Be more patient with others. Remember that everyone can be careless or tactless sometimes; they may do or say things that they don't mean. If they are sensitive, they will apologize for their mistakes. But if no offense was meant, don't overreact. Getting angry will only be a waste of energy. It will strain your relationships with people.

Know that friendship is a two-way traffic. You might have heard many times before that friendship is a give-and take relationship. If you're the one who's always obliged to call, initiate a conversation, or do favors for someone, then you're not in a true friendship. It's either that person is using you for her selfish motives or she is not genuinely interested in you. That person doesn't deserve your friendship. Why waste your time?
Respect yourself. In today's world, martyrs are no longer in fashion. If you feel trapped and trampled upon a "friendship," you don't have to maintain it. If you don't respect and love yourself-that is, if you let others abuse your kindness- you'll give people the impression that you're weak and unreliable.
Meeting new people is just the first step in forming relationships that last. LOYALTY,SINCERITY, THOUGHTFULNESS, and KINDNESS are some of the ingredients of a true friendship.
If your searching for a friend and you want to be accepted by more people,take note of the following tips:
Don't be afraid. if you meet a new acquaintance at home or in school, consider her or him as a potential friend. Don't wait for other people to make the first move. Approach someone if you share the same hobbies or interests, and if that person makes you feel immediately at ease. Strike up a conversation about your common activities and interests, or offer to help the other person with certain tasks. Once you have established a routine, you'll get to know each other better until your acquaintances turns into a valuable friendship.
Don't worry about what people think. People will always have different opinions and preferences, so if you happen to meet someone who doesn't share your interests or agrees with your beliefs, that's alright. [B]If you want to be part of a group but they don't like you, don't insist. Don't let rejection affect your attitude towards other people; there are still more potential friends around.
Because people are closely in touch with their emotions, we value relationships. Friends are significant in our lives and some of our friendships last from childhood to old age.
Everyone needs a friend. Making friends is part of socializations process; it enables you to become a better individual and to find your place in your community. Even if you consider yourself a loner, there is surely another person with whom you can form a strong unconditional bond and share both sad and happy times. But remember that friends are not items that can be bought. Friends are gifts that make our life richer; they are not possessions that we can enjoy for a while and dispose of when that we can enjoy for a while and dispose of when we don't like them anymore.
One of the best ways to enjoy life is to broaden your interests, meet more people, and build enduring friendships. Do Not Take advantage of Them.
In one of Oprah Winfrey's talk shows, a survey was conducted among her audience. Since the subject was about ghosts she started asking her audience these survey questions:
Oprah: How many of you have seen a ghost? Please stand up!
Amazingly, about 20 people stood up.
Oprah: Wow , isn't that really phenomenal? And now for the next question- For you guys standing up - how many of you have actually spoke to a ghost?
About five stayed standing up.
Oprah: (At this point, really getting tremendously excited!) Wow, imagine that? These people actually spoke to a ghost.
And now for the last question, how many of you five guys have actually made love to a ghost?
Four guys sat down except one, at the last row of seats. The crowd exploded.
Oprah: May we call the gentleman to come to the stage please!
At this the cameras focused on an aging old man and guess what, a Filipino guy.
Oprah: Wow, that was unbelievable: Sir, may we know who you are?
My name is Topacio Mamaril - my friends call me ' Top Gun' for short.
Oprah: What do you do and where are you from?
Top Gun: I am a retired Navy man from Ilokos , am living in Napa Valley, Calif and am a farmer by trade.
Oprah: Interesting! So, you really made love to a ghost?
Top Gun: Huh???...(adjusted his hearing aid) What ghost? I thought you said GOAT!
A key to understanding others and therefore treating them right is to put yourself in their place. You put yourself in their place and made yourself like them so you could understand them. You experienced the difficulties of life. You got tired, hungry, sick, lonely, discouraged, and went through everything else they experienced. And having done that, you can now truly feel for them, and help and comfort the way they need it to.
That's also the key to relating well to others- put yourself in their place. You can't totally change your circumstances like GOD did, and you don't need to. Just project yourself mentally in to their circumstances.
For example, before you ask someone to do something that may seem simple and straightforward to you, consider first whether that person will feel the same. Or if someone is out of sorts or isn't being as productive as usual, think about what might be causing that person to act that way. This is a much safer way to operate than assuming the next person sees and feels the same way about things as you.
Walk a mile in another's shoes,as the saying goes, ,and you will be much more inclined to be understanding and supportive when the situation calls for that. Then adjust your expectations or presentation accordingly. Others will sense that you've anticipated their needs or concerns and taken their limitations into account, and this will help you live and work together better. Empathy helps create unity of spirit, and that's a wonderful thing!!
