Talk - be interesting, keep up with what's going on around you, eg TV, sports, music, shared interests - so that you have something to talk about.
Share the conversation, so that you each get a chance to be listeners and talkers.
Listen to what your friends are saying and ask questions about it.
Praise your friends when they do something well.
Be helpful - do things for your friends without keeping a score on who's done the most favours.
Be aware of others' feelings - think before you speak. (Sometimes it is a good idea to keep your thoughts to yourself rather than upset people's feelings.)
Handle conflict - by being clear about what you want and how you will compromise.
Share your time with other friends.
Be honest about your feelings, eg. "I don't think this is a good idea because…" But don't always try to be the leader - try out other people's ideas.
Try to understand people by thinking about things from their point of view.
