Friendship Cookie
As life goes on, I feel that friendship produces some of the most memorable memories you can think of. While every friendship you create (or have currently) should be cherished, not every friend you have is meant to stay in your life. Knowing this information, it could make you wonder what makes a true friendship. Within this article, here’s my take on a true friendship.
- Having a non-judgemental friend who will always try to take a step in your shoes in hard times is so important. I feel friendships grow more within deep conversations and the trust to confide in one another. So if a friend can’t try to understand how you feel in certain situations or simply doesn’t care enough to care, this might not be a true friendship.
- Peer pressuring friends are never beneficial and can be really dangerous overtime. Having friends who instead can motivate and uplift good habits to you is more beneficial for you and the friendship. So if a friend asks you to go to more parties, this might not be the best friendship to have.
- Friends who always seem to find drama or have a problem with other people can stress you out or possibly can reflect on you. When you’re friends with a controversial friend who is somehow always involved in drama and has problems with multiple people, this can reflect her character in general. Think of it this way: If your friend always has something bad to say about others what makes you think she won’t say anything about you? So be careful about friendships with these people.
While this advice is useful for when you’re looking for meaningful long friendships, remember not everyone is meant to have a meaningful friendship, its okay to have mutuals, friends you keep at a distance etc.
