Most of us only get two years on this crazy planet, so there is no time to waste being shy. Therefore, I have compiled four valuable strategies to help you overcome your shyness and make the most of those 24 months.

Carrots

That’s right. Nothing says, “I want to be your friend,” like sharing some tasty snacks: carrots, celery, birdseed, churros. Anything delicious is an excellent friend-maker.

Next time you see a bunny hopping through the neighborhood, simply say, “Pardon me, sir (or madam.) I couldn’t help but notice that you look a little peckish. I have an extra carrot that I would be happy to share with you. And I do so enjoy company while I dine. Would you care to join me?”

Instant friendship-starter.

Relatable Grumbling

Now that you are enjoying a tasty snack with your new bunny friend, you need to strike up a conversation to cement the relationship. It is good to have some topics ready to go. Things that drive all bunnies crazy are good topics.

Complain about Hollywood and its unrealistic portrayal of rabbits in general, like the eternally crabby Rabbit in Winnie the Pooh. Most rabbits are not cranky old geezers. We don’t live long enough to be old geezers. We aren’t all snarky like Bugs Bunny either. And don’t get me started on Peter Rabbit. Although maybe British rabbits are more mischievous than American rabbits. All that tea they drink, probably.

Shared Activity

Nothing creates friendships faster than sharing an activity.

Forget what you have read. Racing tortoises is so yesterday. And quite boring. Bunnies these days crave more excitement. So I recommend playing Bunny Cross.

It’s simple. Find a busy road and try to cross it without getting hit by a car or a truck. It’s an adrenaline rush for sure. Best to invite several bunnies to increase the odds of a few of you surviving. Trust me, after narrowly escaping death together, you will be close friends for the rest of your miserably short life. But only play this game once—no sense pushing your luck. You want friends, not mourners.

Learn To Sing

Yeah, those big front teeth make it hard to sing without a lisp. But if you can manage it, you will be irresistible to other bunnies. Remember Elvis Bunny? Never mind, that was five years ago. Just trust me, a singing bunny is never a lonely bunny.
