A good friend teaches you how to become a better person.
Good friends are always caring, loving, loyal, passionate, a little bit critic of you.
These qualities make a friend as a good friend. So, the person who talks behind
your back and laughs at you can never be your good and true friend.
Patient: Good friends will be there – even when you’re at your worst.
A good friend always shows up when you need someone the most.
They will never be too busy or too occupied to spend time with you. They will
always make sure that you won’t be alone in your most painful moments, and
they will see to it that they’re there during your happiest celebrations.

Time and distance don’t matter to them because you are a big
part of their life, and they’ll never hesitate to show or prove it.
A good friend believes in your potential to reach your
dreams.
A good friend will always see the best in you – even if you’re
already being too ambitious. For them, you can do anything
you put your soul into because they believe in your potential.

1.
Good listeners - It is necessary for a friend to be a good listener. Therefore, without the ability to listen,
your friendship will be shallow.
2.
Being compassionate - True friends should always be compassionate with each other. They must be able
to sympathize regardless of whether or not they agree with the crisis their friends are facing
3.
Loyalty - True friends should always be loyal to each other. A good friend should never betray you in any
way, talk about you behind your back nor do anything else that questions your friendship.
4.
Trust – Good friends should be trustworthy. One should have friends to whom you can be able to tell all
your secrets without any fear of them telling other people about them later.
5.
Support – Good friends should always be available for support. You should have friends with whom you
can be sure for any help and support.
6.
Reliable – A good friend is one to whom you can rely on for anything.

A good friend will always be in your life no matter what.
Even if they’re far away and regardless of the years that you’re apart, you will always
have a friend in them – because a good friendship is forever. In fact, it’s the best kind of
relationship that you will ever have with another person. It will never end: no breakups,
no goodbyes – just pure love, respect, and appreciation of being connected with this
special soul.
You’re one of the lucky few if you have someone in your life that you think of as a good
friend. Just as how they are good to you, you also have to do your part to make it
work. How? Appreciate their existence and most importantly, let them know, through
your words and actions that their presence in your life makes every day worthwhile.
