how do you know a good friend

Answer 1

To have good friends you must be a good friend. Here are some of the ways good friends treat each other:

• Good friends listen to each other.
• Good friends don't put each other down or hurt each other's feelings.
• Good friends try to understand each other's feelings and moods.
• Good friends help each other solve problems.
• Good friends give each other compliments.
• Good friends can disagree without hurting each other.
• Good friends are dependable.
• Good friends respect each other.
• Good friends are trustworthy.
• Good friends give each other room to change.
• Good friends care about each other.

1. Show up. Go to the funeral, hospital or courtroom — be present when she needs you most. She may be surrounded by a sea of people, but make no mistake: Your presence means a lot. Many of those crowded around are either directly involved in the problem at hand or relying on your pal for support, but you can offer her your undivided attention and a shoulder to cry on. Karen, 32, made it through her mother's funeral partly because of the presence of a true friend. "She came early and stayed late," she says. "It was the longest day of my life, but Ellen was beside me every minute."

2. Second her emotions. Your job is to let your friend know that her feelings are justified. Shannon, a 34-year-old mother of a son with autism, is frustrated by many friends' turn-that-frown-upside-down reactions. "People ignore the situation or try to point out the upside," she says. "I love my son, but there are some days I just want to be down. The last thing I need is someone with perfect children telling me to cheer up. Why can't people just admit that I have a right to be depressed about it sometimes?" A good friend commiserates and doesn't try to talk her pal out of her negative emotions.

3. Lighten the load. Vague offers such as "Let me know if there's anything I can do..." put the ball back in your friend's court. Instead, spell out what you're willing to do. Offer to clean her house, take her kids to school or do her grocery shopping. When Durwood, age 48, found out that his colleague's son had leukemia, he responded by mowing his co-worker's lawn every week. "I didn't know him well enough to visit the hospital, but with all the things this guy has to worry about, his grass shouldn't be one of them," he says. You can't make bad stuff go away, but you can free up a person's time so that he or she can deal with the crisis.

Answer 3

Well i've had lots of bad friendships were i ended up getting hurt. Ive had this friend for a year and a half and she's like a sister. She seems to always agree with me and i with her. We go almost everywhere together. I feel like ive known her my whole life. We are both really weird. Fun is a huge factor needed in a friendship. What I've learnt is dont preform for a friendship. And she just gets me.

Answer 4

if you mean that how i know that friend is a good person or not just pretend to be sad and lonely the first one that comes to you and feels sad for you can be a good friend because now the friends usually just joke and have fun fun with each other and they never solve the sad problems because i love to share sad things with my friends but now no body has the time to talk about real things and you will be sad when you don't tell your problems to anyone and you repeat saying your sad problems which makes you angry from some one to your self.

Answer 5

True friends keep everything 50/50.
True friends are true to their word

Answer 6

My opinion is a good friend shouldnt lie,and the most thing i hate and think a friend should NOT do if he/she is a true friend is he/she shouldnt backstab or betray a friend. Especially to a friend who had never hurt u and who is a really loyal or a really good friend who is always there or you at all times.
