my friends are less jealous and are more matured. I wish i had those qualities. But whatever your qualities are, you would wish you had the qualities of others. It all depends on the point of view. And nobody is perfect. So, try to be happy with what you are. You are the best. Say that to ourselves!!

I matured really quickly when I got pregnant at 20 sometimes I think I am a stick in the mud because of it. My husband is quite a bit older than me...and I decided it was because that's how old I feel!

Sometimes I wish that I could be a little more reliant on others. i have always valued my independence, but can be a little stubborn at times and not take somebody elses advice - or at least not ask for it.

I am really stubborn too...I hate that about me...I don't like to take others advice at all!

I think that takes some getting used too. I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Self-reliance. One of my closest friends has no trouble being independent and taking care of herself, even though she's nearly blind. I wish I were as strong as she is.

That's a great answer...I think as woman we should be born with it...we don't need men to depend on!

I have to say that most of my friends are from the church that I attend. But if I take my wife and place her in the role of being a friend, I would say that I wish I had the quality of patience as well. We have gone through so many rough times since our marriage six years ago, I am surprised that she has hung on so long. I always tell her to keep the faith and that things will improve, but how long must it take? Anyway, patience is a good quality to have and to see how your friends handle it.

Hi taylorblue! My best friend has so many admirable qualities and I do sometimes wish I could really learn and have those qualities for myself. But what I really admired about her is she is a very determined person which I do lack most of the time. Haha..Take care and have a nice day!

I think my best friend is a little more outgoing than I am. She always seem to be the life of the party and sometimes I feel like a sidekick. I wish I had a little more of her ability to talk to anybody.

You know my friends always call me outgoing too. I hate it because I feel like I have to live up to that. It's a great quality to have though!
