I don't know where my Best Friend is. It's kinda hard to trust a person or people to be a Best Friend because no matter what there are some people that will talk bad behind a persons back.

Friendships are a very important part of life. Most people spend their days working, have the stresses of bills, have issues with relationships and family issues. Having a good friend can be a great connection that allows you to have fun and also gives you someone to talk to. When you are looking to have a good friend, you must know what it means to be a good friend back to them and how to keep that person as your friend. It is best if you seek out people who have the same interests as you do and somewhat of the same lifestyle. For example, if you are single, it may be difficult to be close friends with someone who is married and spending most of their time doing activities with their family. A good friend will be someone who understand your life and can iddentify with your situations. Even if you are dying to have a good friend,it is best if you do not go overboard when first meeting. You may have been wishing for a good friend to spend time with and talk to for years; but you must go a bit slow so that you do not overwhelm someone and scare them off. It is best to suggest exchanging phone numbers and calling. Keep the conversation to under an hour and do not call every day. You will want to have a friend that you can talk to. If you find that your friend only wishes to talk about themselves and never allows you to talk or shows no interest in what is happening in your life; you should look for a new friend. A good friendship should be one in which you both talk in conversations; it should be a natural flow between two people who are both genuinely concerned about the other and wishes to know of what is new in the other’s life. A good friend needs respect, caring and kindness. You should think of your friend on holidays and especially their birthday. You should be there when they are sad and need a shoulder to cry on. You should do favors for your friend, knowing that you may need a favor someday. And most importantly, never take a good friend for granted because a true good friend is hard to find.
