Being A True Friend!
•How do you know if someone is a true friend or not? Finding someone you really click with can be quite a challenge.
Let us first look at the definition of a true friend:
–A true friend is someone you can rely on when you need it. They treat you with respect, and being around them makes you feel good. They have your best interest at heart. You feel comfortable being yourself with them, and you can trust them. A true friend can also be called a good friend or a real friend.
*Some Signs of a True Friend:
1.They make you feel good!
You should feel good hanging out with a friend. And after you’ve hung out, you should leave with a good feeling.
If they put you down or make you feel bad regularly, there’s something important missing in your relationship.
2.They accept you for who you are!
You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to fit in or feel accepted when you’re with a true friend. They don’t try to change you or make you behave in a certain way.
With your friend, you can put down your mask, relax, and be yourself.
3.They make you a better person!
A true friend makes you better in so many ways…
They call you out when you’re wrong (in a constructive manner).
They make sure you’re grounded and have both of your feet on earth.
They keep you accountable for your values and your goals.
They help you live up to your full potential.
And finally, they expect you to be the amazing person you are.
4.They are honest and trustworthy!
Honesty is an important part of any healthy friendship. It’s important that you can trust your friend to tell you the truth and keep their promises.
If you notice that they’re lying to you or others, it’s a sign they’re not that trustworthy. Another sign they’re not trustworthy is if they often promise you things or say they will do something.
5.They share personal and intimate things with you!
The closer and more intimate you are with each other, the stronger your friendship is.
This is about them opening up about the private parts of their lives and their feelings to you. And it’s equally important for your friendship to open up to them. If they open up to you, it means they trust you and value your friendship.
6.They apologize when they’ve hurt you!
We get hurt even by those we love, mostly by accident. But a true friend apologizes when they realize that they’ve hurt you.
7.They care about your feelings!
You can tell that someone cares about your feelings if they make an effort to make you feel good and comfortable around them. They don’t just ignore how you feel when you see each other it’s important to them that you feel good.
8.They want to do stuff you both like!
A true friend doesn’t need to decide everything themselves. They’re not dominant and bossy. They want to do stuff that you both like.
It’s even been seen that people strongly prefer friends who look less dominant.
9.They support you!
You know that when you’re in a rough spot, your friend is there to support you. Same thing if you’re aiming for a new goal in life, your friend supports you to keep going.
A true friend always has your back.
Note that a true friend shouldn’t always agree with you. When you’re clearly in the wrong – they will let you know (in a supportive manner). Letting you know you’re wrong is also a kind of support – they support you in making good choices throughout life.
10.They listen to you!
When you have something important to say, or when you want to be heard, you know your friend will listen. It’s important to feel heard in a true friendship.
It’s a bad sign if your friend ignores what you say and keeps talking about themselves.
