What Makes a Good Friend

Good friends are those who meet the standards of others, but what are the main reasons / qualities you want to look for in a “good friend”. There are many to look into but only a few will be spoken about. 

Honesty is number one on the list. Honesty..what is it? and why would anyone look for that in a friend?. Well honesty is what holds part of the bond in a friendship, it’s a way of being positive and straightforward to someone who asks for the truth. Honesty excludes lying, cheating,theft so on and so forth. Honesty also includes fairness and reliability, honesty is definitely something to look for in ones you are friends with. 

Trustworthiness, do you look for such a thing in a friendship?.... well you should..like right now!!. Trust is another thing you should look for because people can easily look past others' lies. Trustworthy people will use the same behavior and language in a conversation no matter the situation. They have self-control and maintain character and follow through on what they say. Trustworthy people won’t wear different masks just to impress those who attract bad vibes. 

Sense of humor should be somewhere in the top five of the list you have somewhere buried inside that pocket of yours. Now this is one that should definitely be included because who doesn't like a good laugh. Sense of humor is where a group of people or two are blurting out funny jokes or scenes that provokes laughter and amusement to the conversation. If you had to ask me I think adding on top of the jokes and throwing something even funnier in makes it one-thousand times better. 

Caring is the last stop for this explanation so buckle in, because I saved the best for last. Anybody else thinks that there  aren’t that many of those who actually care now-a-days….because same, caring definitely needs to be on the list of those who desire it. Caring is where the other person who is in friendship with you stays back to pick you back up off of the ground and carry you into a level where you will be able to stand by yourself. The group of friends you have should be like soldiers, those who fall should have help from those who can bring them back from drawing. If you don't have a group sculpted that way you're taking the wrong path. 

Good friends should have these qualities, if they don't you need to pack your stuff and leave because the path you are taking shouldn’t be a path where you are pressured into doing things, left behind or stir into trouble. Make the right choice and right decision with who you trust, because make the wrong choice and that will make doing everything in the right way be surprising to others.
