First, define the qualities you want in a friend and work on embodying those qualities as well.

Finally, you have to put yourself out into the world where your future best friend can find you.
Whether you just moved to a new school, or you’re an adult who moved to a new city, or you just haven’t found the right friend group, these steps will help you attract friends into your life.
And it will work for manifesting one best friend, or a whole group of friends.
Lets dive deeper into these steps to manifest a best friend into your life with the law of attraction.
How to Manifest Friends
1. Define who your perfect best friend is
When you are setting the intention to manifest a best friend you have to know exactly who that person is and why you want them in your life.
Think about what you want in a best friend. Do you want someone who is funny and outgoing, or someone who is more serious and down-to-earth? Do you value loyalty, reliability, honesty? Are you looking to attract like minded friends who are positive and working on improving themselves?
Are there certain activities you want to do with them like travel, hiking, baking, oor watching your favorite shows?
What do you want this friendship to bring to your life?
Here are some journal prompts to help you get clear on exactly what kind of friend you want to manifest:
- How do you define friendship? What makes a perfect best friend?
- What qualities, values, and morals are important to you? Why are they important?
- What traits do you NOT want in your friends?
- What activities do you want to do with your friend?
- What things would you like to have in common with them?
- If you spent the whole day with your best friend, what would you do?
Write down in detail the qualities you want them to have and the kinds of experiences you’d like to have with them.
We tend to mimic the people we spend the most time with, so make sure you are setting the intention to attract people who will help you become a better person, rather than people who will drag you down to their level.
2. Be the kind of friend you want to have
Once you know what you’re looking for in your friendships, work on cultivating those qualities in yourself. If you want someone who is kind, honest, positive, and loyal, then you have to be those things too.
The law of attraction is all about like attracting like, so when you embody the core qualities of your ideal friend, that’s what you’ll attract to you.
That doesn’t mean you can’t have completely different personalities, it means your core values are similar. It’s about the kind of person you want to be, and be around.
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “birds of a feather flock together.” This means that people with similar qualities will choose to be around each other.
The best way to manifest a best friend is by being the kind of person someone else would want as a friend. By being friendly, positive and supportive, you can attract others who are the same.
Also, get clear about what you have to offer. Are you a great listener? Do you make people laugh? What do you bring to a friendship?
If your answer is, “I don’t have any good qualities, I suck” then you need to work on cultivating self-love because I promise that you absolutely do have good qualities!
It’s also important to be yourself and let your true personality shine through. Don’t try to be someone you’re not – you’ll just end up attracting people who aren’t a good match for you.
3. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want
What you focus on expands. So if you are looking to manifest good friends, put out that energy and be open to receiving them.
Believe that you can have one, believe they’re on the way and that you’re going to find each other any day now.
If a lot of doubts keep coming up or you have the feeling that no one would even want you for a friend, then it’s time to dig into your limiting beliefs because we’re all worthy of friendship and kindness, we all have good qualities.
Your limiting beliefs might sound like:
- I’m not likeable, no one would want to be my friend.
- I can’t trust people, they always backstab me.
- I’m too weird, no one gets me.
- There aren’t any cool people in my town.
If that’s the story you believe, will be able to attract healthy friendships? No, in fact you’ll push them away both energetically and through your actions.
So if you have beliefs like this, start telling yourself a new story. I share some affirmations below that will help, and you can also learn more about how to change limiting beliefs.
4. Help your best friend find you
The best way to manifest a friend quickly is to put yourself out into the world where you can find each other.
The law of attraction isn’t just a mental act of positive thinking, it’s physical action too.
You have to get outside your comfort zone and put yourself in situations where you can manifest the friends you want.
Think about the activities you’d like to do with a best friend, and then find communities of people who like those things too. That could be online groups, or in person clubs or classes.
If you prefer staying in and watching movies, you may not find the friend you want at a nightclub, so be strategic.
If you’re in school, talk to people. This is easier said than done for shy people (like me), so come up with conversation starters before hand, maybe even practice. If you want to be friends with someone who seems shy or reserved, learn how to be friends with introverts.
Stay open-minded and be ready to meet new people. Allow yourself to be a little vulnerable.
