People are compelled to believe that this is a statement of reciprocity, but it seems to be more of a statement of instigation. Essentially saying the best way to make friends is to be friendly. Be the first. Make the call, arrange the meeting. Be the one that says hello first.

It means if you want to have friends you need to open up and be like the friend you want to have. If you act shy or snoby not many people are going to want to be around you but if you open up and be yourself you'll get more friends. Hope this helps.

One of your good friend trust one of your worst enemy can you still trust the good friend?

Everyone is an individual and sometimes personalities clash, but that does not mean your good friend's personality clashes with the person you consider your worst enemy. Communicate to your best friend how you feel about this situation and if they say they are still your best friend, but like your worst enemy then you have no choice but to believe them.
