New...not sure how to add people need support and encouragement

Click once on the person's name. A new window pops up. Inside that window click on their name again. This time you will get a green button that says Add As a Friend. Click that & the system will send a friend request to the person who can accept or reject. I sent you both friend requests but understand I don't really know what I'm doing on this journey; I'm inconsistent & my diary reads like what not to do.
