You make friends in life, but here are some points that you should note about a good friend. As human, you should do your best to be a good friend and have good friends around you.
Good friends are happy for your success, genuinely happy. When you reach a great milestone, they will always celebrate with you. Good friends will help promote you and look for opportunities to help you along the way if they can. If they see you struggling in areas like in academics, they will do as much as possible to help you.
Good friends will disagree with you, but as a result of love. They will never sweep things under the carpet, they will not play mind games or silent treatments. Rather, they will want to discuss and solve issues because they value their friendship.
Good friends will always look out for your best interest, they won't look for ways to build you up and then pull you down. Continuous progress is always their wish for you.
Good friends will keep your shared secrets. Even if you have a disagreement, if you have shared anything with good friends in confidence, they won't disclose to others.
Good friends will protect you passionately from people they think are against you. They don't want you to get hurt. So, they do their best to protect you.
Good friends know when to give you space. They respect your boundaries and know that you have a life.
Good friends are not proud and they are quick to say "sorry". They will apologise even when they are not at fault. They do that for the sake of peace.
Look for these and similar qualities in your friends. But remember: be a reflection. Good friends are for life!!!
