To make real friends you have to put yourself out there. Sometimes people will let you down, but you can't let that stop you. If you get hurt, you just pick yourself up, dust off your feelings, and try again.

About This Quote

The quote “To make real friends you have to put yourself out there. Sometimes people will let you down, but you can’t let that stop you. If you get hurt, you just pick yourself up, dust off your feelings, and try again.” is a common saying that is used to encourage those who may have been rejected by others. This person wants those who have been hurt by those they love to continue their relationships as they cannot afford to lose those relationships. The whole idea behind this quote is that even though the people that we love may not be able to stay in touch with us all of the time, we should not let them go.
