QUALITIES OF A FRIEND

Friendship

A Friend In Deed Is A Friend In Need

1. Sharing is caring!

Yes, sharing is indeed one of the qualities your friends should have. You should be able to share each and everything with each other. Little kids share their crayons, toys. Elders
share their joys, sorrows, opinion. Not only share of opinion, buddies share things too!
Like clothes, accessories, notes, books, chocolates, coffee, you and your friend
should not hesitate or have second thoughts  sharinharhese things with each other. Because after all, sharing is caring. Your friend should be able to lend you little things which you urgently need. It is therefore rightly said that a friend in need is a friend indeed.

2. Trust and Loyalty.

No one ever wants their friends to bitch about them behind their back. That is just so very disgusting. Friendship is a very special bond which stands on the pillars of trust and loyalty. You should be able to share your deepest secret with your friend without the fear of the secret being leaked. If you don’t feel that your friend is loyal to you, what is the whole point of spending time or being friends with that person? A true friendship is a one where you can trust each other and know that your friend will always be loyal to you.

3. Personal Adviser.
Who the hell needs a counselor/adviser when you have a friend with you? A friend should be a one who guides you to the right path, knows what is good and what is bad for you. A friend should always be there to advice on as little things as deciding what to
wear for the party next week and on big things such as deciding what career move or what college is best for you. Your friend should never ever hesitate to advice you on your personal or professional matters. After all, for most of the people, friends are the first one whom they approach for advice. The right friends and the right advice from them makes life so much better!

4. Listener.
For all those sad and gloomy days when we are feeling low, a friend is always ready to
listen to our problems. Of course, your friend would not surely have all the solutions or
answers to your problems or what to do next. But, they give you a sense of belonging that you are not alone and they are always there for you. A good friend is a one in front of whom you can pour your heart out without any hesitation. And also, they listen with interest keeping their phones aside, just concentrating on you at that time.

5. Selfless – Always ready to help!
Having a friend who is selfless and sees nothing when it comes to helping you, then I tell that you have the right friend, buddy! A good friend is the one who is always ready to help you in the difficult phase of your life without expecting anything in return. They make your problems their own and act accordingly in a way which they feel is the best for you. Selflessness doesn’t mean that your friends should always sacrifice things for you. They have their own life and problems too.

6. Cheers you up.
Nothing can beat spending quality time with your friend full of hilarious jokes, giggles
and laughter. Friends add happiness to life. They are always ready to cheer you up when you are sad by telling lame jokes, tickling you and what not! Yes obviously, they do share your pain, but don’t like it when you remain sad for too long. They make you forget all your problems and add colors to your life.

7. Knows you inside out.
A friend is the one who knows you like no one else in the world does. You people can
literally talk through expressions without saying a word. You two look at something or someone and instantly know what the other is thinking and then share a smile. They know you so well that you cannot hide anything from them. They will notice even the slightest change in your expressions and will instantly know that something is wrong with you.

8. Forgiving.
It is human nature to have difference in opinion and views sometimes resulting in disputes. You and your friend should have such a bond that no dispute can make you two grow apart. Rather, after each misunderstanding, your bond should grow even stronger.

9. Straightforward.
I totally love straightforward people. Who would want diplomatic friends? Who would not want an honest opinion from their friends? No one! Friends are the one whom we can trust and depend on easily.

10. Not Judgmental at all.
Your friend knows you very well and would. never judge you on your mistakes or wrong decisions in the past. You can tell your friends your stupidest stories, your silly mistakes and still your friend would love you for who you are, rather than saying “Eww, you did that? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” Instead they would scold you and then hug you! They will make you feel that you are never ever alone and will stand along with you all the way.
