What Are The Qualities Of A Good Friend?


With social media in full bloom, the true definition of friendship is fading away. You can have hundreds of people in your virtual friend lists but feel painfully alone in real life. You can have a huge social circle to hang out with but still have no one to talk to when upset.


Supportive - Good friends support you no matter what! Find someone who can stand like a rock beside you in difficult times, like a break-up, the death of a loved one, a failed exam, etc. Find someone who can guide you when you feel lost. Find someone who decides to be there for you without any conditions.


A Good Listener - A friend who truly listens without ignoring or dismissing you is a huge blessing. You can vent out all your intimate feelings, thoughts, and experiences without the fear of judgment. In fact, good friends don’t just listen to you, they also actively participate in the conversation when you want them to.


Trustworthy - Trust is the foundation of every relationship in life. A good friend tells you the truth, even when you don’t want to hear it. They let you know when you are wrong straight away without sugar-coating the facts. Their honest opinions help you make the right decisions in life.


Respectful - Every friendship has boundaries, even the closest ones. The people who hurt your feelings under the pretense of humor don’t deserve to be called your friends. Good friends will always be respectful of your time, feelings, and the things you love. They will never disrespect you, even when you make mistakes. Instead, they will make you understand why you are wrong with love and compassion.


Caring - Good friends keep checking up on you. They make sure you are getting enough sleep, food, and water! Sounds too motherly, right? But the people who truly care for you will notice even such minor details of your life. They make sure you are not too hard on yourself.


Inspiring - This is one of the essential qualities of a good friend. Treasure the people who encourage you to become the best version of yourself. They will reassure you when you doubt your capabilities and give you a reality check when your performance declines.


Loyal - Many people call themselves your friend but talk bad about you behind your back. They spill out your secrets to others without any hesitation. Stay away from such people because they are worse than enemies. A good friend would never do that. Good friends stay loyal under all circumstances. They never go behind your back, even when they are upset or angry with you.


Do your friends have the qualities above? If yes, value them with all your heart! Thank them for being there for you.
