How To Be A Good Friend.
Author: RAM SRINIVAS
Being a good friend isn't always easy, but taking the time to nurture a lasting friendship is worth every ounce of effort. Good friendships provide strength, happiness, and meaning in ways that social media or striving for popularity cannot. All true friendships are built on mutual trust and support, so whether you’re looking to make new, quality friendships or improve your existing ones, there are things you can do to be a good friend to others.Promise that you cannot keep–or at least do not make a habit of it. If you say you'll hang out with a friend and a legitimate conflict arises, explain the situation. If you just cannot go, give your friend a gift and tell him or her sorry. Nobody is perfect, and it's okay if you have to break a promise once in a blue moon, but don't make it a regular thing. If this is recurring over time, then you will probably be seen as untrustworthy. If you promised a friend something important, keep your promise and don't risk the loss of a friend.
When you make a serious promise, look at your friend in the eyes and speak slowly to show that you mean it instead of just saying it because you think that you should. Do not break any such promise, as that will hurt your friend. It might even break your friendship!
