The qualities of a good friend.

There are many good qualities of a good friend. A good friend is honest. He doesn’t have to share every detail of every second of life, but he does try to be clear about his intentions. This means that he tries to present an accurate picture of who he is and of different situations. When something doesn't seem right, he lets you know. A good friend is fun, unique and interesting. The first reason for choosing someone to be your friend is that he is fun and adds a smile to your life. In addition, there’s a lot to be said for chemistry and shared interests. As for fun, it depends how you define it: Some friends are fun because they're the life of the party; others are fun because they notice every strange little detail about a situation. Some people are fun simply because they see life like no one else does. . A good friend is attentive and adaptable. A good friend is at least a fairly good listener and notices how little, day-to-day things affect you. He can’t read your mind, but chances are he can usually tell when you're happy, sad, excited, shocked or upset. If he is aware that he is doing something that annoys you, he tries to change his ways or at least talk to you about it. A good friend is supportive of you and your goals. Sure, your friend may think you're cool, but is he on the same page as you? Does he know what you want most out of life? A really good friend will know what makes you tick and helps you become the person you want to be. He won’t try to change who you are or drag you into situations that make you uncomfortable or put you at risk of losing something that matters to you.
