I like to try, with my friends, to do random acts of kindness. I know my friends well and what they like and dislike. I try to make things for them or stop by with things they like, just because. I am always an ear when they need it and willing to try new things as they discover new things. Being a good friend is really easy, just be prepared to help your friends, even if they don't ask for the help. I love random acts of kindness and I love paying it forward. I am curious though, why do you feel you need to be a better friend?

You can be better just be with them when they needed you most. Return good deeds back to them.

I do not really a distinction between being a just a friend or a better friend. You are either a friend to someone or not. I know that may sound weird, but I think measuring how much you are a friend to someone is non-existent. Friendship is relationship between people that have built a state of mutual trust. For me, it's like a chain of trust. It either exists or it does not exist. But if you are really insistent on trying to be a better friend, just continue to take an interest in their lives and try to communicate each other as often as possible.

I'd dis agree with that because i have a lot of friends but theres something called best friends and those Best friends are the people you always hangout with. But thanks anyway

You can not just be a better friend, you can even be a true friend. You can also do the good things they've done to you. Help as you can whenever they need help. Give them support and cooperate with them. Just stand by them through thick and thin. Small or big things you have done would really mean so much to them.

Sounds like a simple but really afective idea. Thank you
