We consider friends as a part of the family. They are always with us through ups and downs and always willing to comfort and give bits of advice whenever we have problems. They also play a big role in our life. We share our secrets and even the most embarrassing moment with them. They make us laugh and feel comfortable even if we are in our hardest time. But, how can we find a true friend? What things should we consider to know that our friends are good for us?
Acceptance
True friends will always accept who and what you are. They will never underestimate and judge you. Even if you are the richest or poorest person in the world they will still accept and treat you well. And whatever status in life you have they will still choose to be with you.
Understanding
True friends will always understand us but they will never tolerate us doing bad things. They will teach us how to become good individuals not only for our family but also for the people that surround us. If we have done wrong, they will give us pieces of advice to correct it. And they will always choose to understand us in our worst time.
Faithful and trustworthy
Once we tell our secrets to our friends, it means we are trusting them that they will not tell it to others. Being faithful is very important in any kind of relationship. Being faithful strengthens our relationship to our friends. It means we are not keeping any secrets with them and we are trusting them whole heartedly because they are our friends.
But once we found out that our friends were not faithful to us, we will always doubt the words and actions they show to us. And our trust in them will disappear. We can no longer trust a person when they keep on doing bad things against us. So, we should consider these characteristics when we are finding a true friend.
