What are the signs of a true friend? What are the qualities of a good friend? Watch this video to learn about the qualities of a true friend. And let’s see where your friends rank! We often get the impression that some people have hundreds or even thousands of friends on social media. But the truth is that people usually maintain a close relationship with only a few people in real life.
So, what are the signs of a true friend? What does it mean to be a true friend?
There’s a list of characteristics of a good friend, which makes them more like family. First and foremost, a true friendship is based on respect and acceptance. A real friend accepts you as you are, and won’t try to change you. They really listen to you, with the intent to understand your thoughts and feelings. And real friends will never gossip about you. One of the biggest difference between a real friend vs fake friend is that a true friend will stick with you through thick and thin. They will laugh with you through the good times but then cry with you through the bad ones.
Among the tell-tail signs of a true friend is that they don’t hold grudges when you mess up!
They just put it behind them, because they know that you have good intentions. Despite whatever mistakes you make. A real friend is confident in the bond that you share, and they will never try to control you. They also make time for you, and they never blow you off or tell you that they’re too busy for you. At the same time, they understand that you don’t have to be in their company around the clock in order to validate the friendship. And they give you the freedom to pursue other friendships and activities in your life as well.
How do you know if you have real friends?
Sometimes our desire for friendship blinds us to telling red flags. Which often indicates a toxic relationship. Especially if the person is a narcissist and tries to manipulate you! Discovering true friendship is the first key to preserving and cultivating that relationship. We all have a few people in our lives that possess the qualities of a true friend. Even people who like to be alone have at least one real friend that they can count on.
So, who is your true friend? Do you recognize these signs of a good friendship? The truth is… few people will genuinely be happy for your successes and achievements in life. In fact, most people around you will be jealous or envious. But, true friends will actually be happy for you and push you to achieve even greater heights.
