Ways To Be A Better Friend

Making friends has never been easier; with the existence of social media, you can hang out with people who live thousands of miles away while sitting on your living room couch. It's a relatively easy for both introverts and extroverts because the interaction doesn't have to start physically.

Maintaining such friendships has never been convenient, although you may not have the opportunity to meet them in person owing to distance or other factors. There are many ways to be a better friend and have personal connections. I'll provide a list of some of them, but it won't be exhaustive because as the world evolves, so do the ways to be a better friend.

There are different ways of becoming friends and I would love to share some which are;

1. Learn To Listen

We all love attention and self centered when it comes to friendship the act of listening is very important as ever because every one of us wants to be heard and understood at the same time and sometimes we need a response whenever we converse because this is the only way we can know you are actually listening.

2. Patience

I think we need this for every friendship because there will be a time whereby there would be an argument and your friend might be annoyed and he will definitely tell you some things out of anger and for the friendship not to collapse you need the patience to handle such situation.

I would regard patience as an important behavior, we should endeavor to show this when our friends are under stress or eager to tell us something, have patience when listening and responding to them.

3. Don't Be Quick To Judge

Whatever friendship you are in, some way or somehow people around you will judge and that's how life is. But personally leaving the world to judge is never your concern, focus on your friendship and do whatever you guys want. You will go through good and bad times together but never make what people think to change your friendship.

4. let Them Be Free Towards Others

Never restrict your friends from having only you as a friend, this is very unhealthy and will only lead to the other person being bored and having no gist to debate about since they had disbursed all their time with you and eventually the friendship might not last for too long.

This world is socially developed and letting your friends to interact with other people will indirectly help you and indirectly they also become your friends too.

5. Honesty And Loyalty

Honesty matters a lot in any friendship sometimes the truth might be really harsh but always endeavor to say the truth and when no one supports or believe in your friends always be there to show support and have trust in him because you should know what your friend can do and can't do, that's the main reason you are friends.

6. Challenging Each Other

Always be open-minded and challenge each other to develop in a positive direction in all ramifications like mentally, physically and professionally, and endeavor to support each other in times of need.

Challenging each other is good for the relationship but we shouldn't let that ruin the friendship at the same time. Having a friend that challenges us and at the same time having fun while doing so is really amazing and definitely would make us a better person.

Friends are wonderful and amazing at the same time. They help us become better versions of ourselves. When establishing friends, prioritize wisely and be transparent, since why would you want to be friends if you can't tell them what you need or what you're going through?....

Thanks for reading 💙💙💙

Love and appreciate your friendly relationship and don't forget to go on adventures and do new and exciting things together since memories will last long after they are gone.
