Since I am an only child, I never knew the feeling of having one. But good thing I have my friends with me. It’s like having the siblings you never had. So instead of being the best sister, I became the best friend. Here is my very own random list of ways on how you can be “The Best Friend Everrrr”
- Keep your promises – or better not make promises you can’t keep
- Be trustworthy – No one wants a relationship without any trust. It is very hard to trust anyone, so if they started trusting you, you mustn’t do anything to break this. For this will surely break their hearts.
- Never Lie – in that way, they will be true to you too. No pretensions. No faking. – this is also in connection with #20. Never lie to a friend, lying would just make them feel that you don’t trust them enough to tell them the truth. Nothing hurts more that being lied to and knowing you are not worth the truth
- Listen – when they are mad, depressed or happy, listen to their story. When they are going through something, listen to what they have to say. There are time when people just need someone to listen on how bad their day went, or how happy they are about something.
- Be happy for them – may it be with their love life, career or family.
- Accept their personality – every individual is different in their own little ways. Accept them for who they are and never let them change just to satisfy your expectations.
- Never use people – don’t make friends with someone if you just see them as someone beneficial to you.
- Be selfless – do something for them freely and wholeheartedly and never ask for something in returm
- Respect – respect their decisions, their choices, respect their whole personality. Respect who they are.
- Apologize – don’t let little/petty fights or you pride get in the way of your friendship. Learn to apologize when you know it’s your fault.
- Be like a sister/brother – cause we all know that blood is thicker than water. So treating someone like your sibling is something special
- Let your friend have other friends too – Being the best friend doesn’t necessarily mean that you should be the only friend. Stop being clingy and let your friend enjoy other people’s company too.
- Inspire them – inspire them to appreciate life, to appreciate everything they have and inspire them to aim a good life.
- Never let them feel alone – the worst feeling is having someone with you but makes you feel alone. Never let your friends feel that.
- Celebrate good times and be there during tough times
- Forgive – if there comes a time that they’d hurt you. Forgive and never take revenge.
- Spend time with them – you all have separate lives and you aren’t always together. So it is better to spend a day with them. Catching up on things you have missed.
- Be true. Be yourself – in that way, they will be true to you too. No faking, no pretension. All true. All real.
- Always be there for them – even in silence. Just. Be. There. Nothing is more special when you feel that someone will always be there for you no matter what.
- A real friend calls – You would know if a friend of yours is into something. Maybe it be good or bad. Calling them just a minute or two just to ask how they’ve been is another way of showing how much you care for them. Like with GoUnli20, it’s now easy to call without a need for a prefix and it’s just P20 for unli calls, 15mb of mobile surfing, and 20 texts to all networks! Kaya if you need a friend, don’t call me, I’ll call you!
