Friendship & Relationships
Keys to a Good Friendship
- Pick people who have similar interests, but don't rule out people who aren't exactly like you: it's good to keep an open mind about your close friends.
- If you respect others, others will respect you.
- Even the best friends can't be together 24/7. Develop other interests and don't be jealous when your friend has other interests too.
- Your friend can't read your mind. If something is affecting your friendship, tell them.
- A good friend will let you vent to them, but don't only use them to vent. You need to listen to them as well.
- Support your friends. It's ok to disagree with them. Don't talk behind your friend's back.
- Choose your words wisely, because you can never take them back.
