6 Attributes A Good Friend Must Have

Having a good friend is an important part of who we are. Our friendships influence our lives, our thinking and our state of mind, so make sure you choose your friends wisely.

1. Kindness: A good friend should be kind. Not just
to you, but to everyone. If he/she is only kind to you, then you should wonder why, because it might mean they want something from you
2. Bluntness: Having a friend should be like looking in the mirror. Your friend should be able to tell you what you need to hear, regardless of whether you want to hear it at the time. You should count on them to be honest with you even when the truth hurts.
3. Fun: A good friend should also know how to put a smile on your face, and would want to do that. They should do what they can to make sure you are happy, especially when you are feeling down.
4. Have things in common: When you are hanging out with your friend, the only way to enjoy the company is when you both have things in common to talk about. You should laugh over things you both find funny and lament over things that bug you.
5. Believes in you: Your friend should believe in your abilities and your dreams. They should encourage and inspire you instead of being envious or habouring jealousy.
6. Is a good person: Your friend should be an all-round good person. They should want to make you and people around them feel good. They should be morally upright and have integrity. Because, let’s face it, you are who you spend your time with, and the wrong crowd will, no doubt, influence you.
