how to be a good friend

friends are still friends but if you have a family and kids too, i think family and kids needs first before friends.... and due to the situation of life today, i think family first before anything else...

What is important in friendship, we must be sincere.

a friend is not an enemy if they act like one they were not your friend in the first place.

i cannot say much about that but i have a principe that everyone is my friend but there is no one is my best friend.

A good friend need not be there for us, physically all the time. A good friend, true friend always lend a helping hand when we need it most, unless common friends, patting our back, always contacting when there are no problems. The moment we approach them for help, excuses and reasons make up for their disappearance. In fact, a good friend need not on constant contact at all because there will be some kind of bond, chemistry created somehow and we will be able to sense it, therefore helping each other out.

Treat them right. Have empathy and treat them the way you like to be treated.

Treat your friends as how you want to be treated. They will surely remain your friends on all seasons.

I think both must willing to be loyal and helpful.

Being a good friend, need mutual understanding, mutual help, and do not benefit from each others.

Hi adhyz: As you have mentioned, being a good friend could be really difficult. Sometimes we really appreciate our friends but hurt them with our actions. It's difficult and there's no formula because friend are so different. But for me, a friend should listen and he/ she should offer his/ her support when his/ her friend is in need. ALVARO

I think to be a good friend all you need is to be a good human being. Be nice to yourself and you will be nice to everyone in the world. Being a good example for others is also a good way to be a friend. I think friend is the one who inspires you to be a good person. You learn the new good things with friends.

Hi! Friendship is about people who care fro each other.It takes time and effort fro you to cultivate your relationship.It is not always happy there are bumpy roads,down times and conflicts on the way but if both of you are strong enough to face theses things then your friendship will continue to flourish and grow.Being a good friend means respecting and supporting each other. Having the courage to tell your friend that he is not right when you feel that he will be in trouble because of his deeds. Conflicts may arise with these feelings will be hurt but if you are a true friend you will not let your friend do bad things or even support them with it. Being with him especially in down times and is willing to lift and help him cope in difficult situations.All for the good of each other is your goal.

Being a good friend is being as honest as possible with each other. No hesitation to tell the truth to your friend specially if one is going on the wrong path or obviously making the wrong decision. Being a good friend is not tolerating the wrong doings of another but rather correcting them.

For me to be a good friend is to a good listener. Be there when they need a companion, understand as much as possible and do not throw criticism, and most specially be who you are, do not pretend.

Being a good friend,Love and respect to each other. And if a friend having a tough time, be as a compassionate as you can let them vent and just offer your shoulder to cry on, don't say a word unless asked.

I think that a true friend is one who will love all your good bits as well as your bad ones and the security that the friendship will withstand anything, in other words, no matter what happens no one is going anywhere just like in a good marriage. I believe you found a true friend if you feel comfortable being you warts and all with this person and your life is enhanced by the friend’s presence in it. A friend should be your soft place for you to fall when times are tough and vice versa.

Being a good friend comes from good people. If a person doesn't have morals when difficult time comes they will betray others. Cheating a love partner or a friend don't come from a person that has a good carachter. So before trusting our friend we should know if they have morals.

hi, to be a good friend of course you will never ever bring your friend down and you will always help him/her whatever his/her problem it is as long as you can.having a good friends is really hard at this time.

Friendship can only exist if you respect and accept the other person the way he is and if that other person is respecting and accepting you the way you are. It has nothing to do with always sharing the same opinion or liking the same things or speaking the same language. Friendship is not only giving but also taking. Friendship has to be honest and open and understanding. If both parts are that way they will overcome every problem or disagreement since that is not in the way of the friendship but something seen apart of it. There is not really a guideline how to be a good friend. But what is important is that you both know what you expect how a friend should be. If this is something you or the other one can't fill in it's a lost case. Also you have to understand that it's impossible to always be there. It's a good thing to try but in a life can happen so much that it can be hard to keep such a promise.

There's no such thing like best friends, but don't over-show how good you are to avoid doubts. We cannot judge a friend even if how nice they are, just focus your attention and may be you do observations and don't let them know, if something is wrong then time for you to decide, a friend is important if it doesn't give you harm just be careful of choosing a friend.
