They could also try to convince Papyrus that being popular or joining the guard is not the only way to make friends. They could show him the many ways he could normally make friends, explain why its harder for him to make friends, and what he can do to make it easier to make said friends, such as listening more than talking or being less forceful in his approach of friendship.
