If a friendship has no positive benefits or the conversations do not help you, then it is time to end the friendship. As the disappointment you experience in your friendship solidifies, it may be time for you to redefine your definition of a true friend.
If you look at the quality of a good friend, you will find that good friends are a rarity. If you create a list of people, including your family, you will find that no one can be considered a real friend. When you're looking for your closest friends, ask yourself what qualities you want in a friend and If you have other properties that you think are suitable for a best friend but are not sure about, skip step 2.
You could also be a friend of a family member, a work colleague or even a close friend, but not the best friend.
A bad friend may be there in your life mainly to get inside information or to set up roadblocks, but compared to a real friend they never seem to have your back. They are only happy when you are bad, belittle you, wipe you clean if they disagree with you or are a drunken mess of yours. Bad friends may be only for a short time in life, mainly for the purpose of getting information or creating obstacles. One of the worst things about real friends who care about your feelings is that they refuse to address your concerns when it comes to them.
Rather, a real friend will hold you to a standard that you know is worthy of your character and will not tear you down. If they see an attitude or an unhealthy habit that needs to be stopped, they will do anything to stop it, even if it costs their lives.
If you are as in love with your best friend as I am with my love for them, let them know how much they mean to you through friendship quotes and partners. Show them your appreciation for their dependability and constant support and show them that you love them for it.
It's good to have a diverse network of friends, but you also want to have some really close friends who can help you through thick and thin. If your friends share your interests and goals, then you want your true friends to share those qualities with you. You can go to your local health clinic with your friend and ask for resources to help someone with HIV / AIDS, talk to their parents if they seem interested, or talk to a friend who is okay with it. As long as you're surrounded by your best friends, there's little more important than being with them.
If you find yourself in a friendship situation that makes you uncomfortable, remember that your real friends don't mind talking to you. Have a cooking day with them while you try to navigate the kitchen. Come to your next game night with your best friends and suggest that they introduce you to some other friends with a pleasant environment.
Your true friends will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear, and they will use their knowledge to engage you, reduce conflict, and please you.
They may give you advice from time to time that you do not want to hear, but they will lead you in the right direction. They are not complacent about your personal growth and they are not sitting passively by and watching you make decisions that are not good for you.
The two most important things you can do for your friends are to support you in any way natural to you and keep them private. The same is true if the boyfriend has a different focus in his life, for example work or dating.
When your friends share details of hard times or difficult experiences, be sensitive and give advice when they ask for it. A true friend is someone who is always listening and really interested in good and evil, and who is always ready to call or write what you have just said. They are not the ones who keep telling you all the negative things that others are saying about you. True friends are important and can behave with care and respect for your thoughts and feelings, even if they may not agree with you, but they are important to them.
