In our hasty age, people find it difficult to find real friends. More and more often acquaintances, colleagues, neighbors, friends. And finding a true friend, like in films and books, is becoming more and more difficult. Sometimes it seems that the search is complete, but it is difficult to know for sure. It is important to remember what qualities real friends should have, and evaluate your acquaintances by these parameters.
Instructions
Step 1
Understanding. You do not need to ask the question "How are you?", Because you have learned to determine the mood from one face of a friend. When he is in a bad mood, and he himself is already sad. And all the joys become common, and the mood rises for the happiness of another.
Step 2
There can be no lies and hypocrisy between true friends. Without trust, such a relationship will fall apart, which is why it is so important to always tell the truth. Even if she is offended, a friend will communicate it gently, but without unnecessary lies. You can rely on such a person and be sure of his honesty.
Step 3
Unselfishness. For a true friend, there is no question "What will you do me for this?" Because the opportunity to help a friend is already a joy. No one is looking for benefits or trying to use another person. There is also ease in financial matters - the debt is given from the heart, and they do not remind of it at every meeting.
Step 4
Devotion. A true friend will not give up on you if you have to choose sides. Even if you have a losing side, he will support and be there. He will not cancel a meeting with you to spend time with other people.
Step 5
Forgiveness. Even if disputes and disagreements arise, turning into a scandal, in real friendship there will always be a truce. There is no situation that could embroil such close people.
Step 6
Support. In difficult life moments, you do not need to be alone, try to cope with all the troubles on your own. You can always turn to a friend, and even if he cannot help, he will at least support you in difficult times. At the same time, support will be provided sincere, without malevolence and a sense of their own superiority.
Step 7
Acceptance with all the flaws. There are no perfect people, and a true friend may also have bad personality traits or bad habits. But this does not interfere with friendship, because mutual understanding helps to come to terms with them. In any case, all have pros and cons, and you need to accept a person as he is.
Step 8
The ability to listen. When you talk to a real friend, you feel interested. He is not just waiting for the moment when he can speak himself. Sincere participation in your affairs and problems helps to feel ease of communication. A simple conversation may be enough.
Step 9
Common interests and topics of conversation. It is difficult to be friends with a person if there is not a single hobby that binds you. With a real friend, you can talk on different topics and never get bored. And even if your opinion on this issue does not coincide or is completely opposite, you love to talk with him.
