I am SO LUCKY to have so many good friends. Let's face it,
great friendships are priceless. Good friends can lift your spirits, make you
laugh, and remind you that you are loved.
Good Friends Are Real
and Honest
Arguing in a Healthy
Way
Encourage Other Friendships
Trust
Respect Boundaries
Nurture Each Other
Friends make you feel comfortable with yourself, so you
don't need to act like something you're not. Your friends know your
shortcomings and love you anyway. You are perhaps the "best version"
of yourself when you're with your friend.
To that end, a healthy friendship includes plenty of gentle
honesty. Your friend won't lie to you, but they won't try and hurt your
feelings either. As a result, you'll know where you stand with your friend and
won't be afraid to share your true opinions.
Know your friends
There are the types of friends that are messy. They like to
engage in gossip and bring your name into the conversation without your
authorization. This might be because they want to make you look bad or to cover
themselves
Assets.
They use you because you have assets like a car, your own
apartment or home, make lots of money, have vacation property, or to get close
to your boyfriend or brother. They will eat up your house or home and even use
your beauty products. But when you confront them, they become angry. They
disrespect you and your belongings. You may also notice borrowing become an
issue. They borrow money and never pay you back. Borrow your clothes, property,
and never give it. Return it damaged. Let other people use/wear your
belongings. They may also ask for a favor but can never return a favor.
"It's all about
me" type of friends.
They always talk about themselves. Also, they could care a
less about you... your day, how you're feeling, etc. You may also notice that
they brag a lot. Whether it be about themselves, materialistic possessions,
boyfriend, getting married, or a vacation, they always find something to make
them sound better than you. Seems to always have an opinion about everything.
An opinion is a person's ideas and thoughts towards something. It is an
assessment, judgment or evaluation of something. An egocentric person has no
theory of mind, cannot "put himself in other people's shoes," and
believes everyone sees what he sees (or that what he sees in some way exceeds
what others see. It appears that this is shown mostly in younger children. They
are unable to separate their own beliefs, thoughts and ideas from others
Poor me.
Always come to you when they have problems for advice, but
when you need to vent or advice they're very short with you. So not fair when
you don't mind spending two hours plus to cool them down; instead for you it's
like five minutes. You're not a therapist. They may also stay mad at you when
you two are in a fight. This is because they can only see their point of view.
Clingy. Can't share
you with other people.
When they do see you with other people, they're jealous
because they want you all to themselves. Can't include you to see a movie with
their boyfriend/girlfriend. Spends lots of time with them, and when their other
half is busy they want you all the time. They will ditch you for them if they
come around.
Fake.
Smiles in your face,
but when around other people, make you feel small by continuously putting you
down verbally. They may also do things such as drugs and deny it. They might
promise to call you back, but never do. Always keeps you waiting. Always make
excuses as to why they didn't call you.
Never acknowledges
your ethnicity/culture.
Considers you something
else, and think it's alright to insult you heritage by using derogatory slang
words around you knowing it offends you. Doesn't accept you for you for all
that you are.
Spies.
These people are not your true friends. They are like assets
and they maybe working for someone else to find about you. They may do this
because they are jealous, if they want to teach you a lesson or if they want to
get close to your boyfriend or brother. They are not really interested in you.
You might notice that these people always need to know everything. For example,
you may be talking to another friend about a secret and she/he wants to know
what you're talking about. They often try to overhear conversations between you
and other people. They often lie. They may lie their name, age etc from you. Be
careful from them. They may soon blackmail or bully you. They may eat up your
things. If they bully you never be shy to tell an elder. So try to dump this
friend as soon as you find out that they are poisonous.
Ignores You.
When you are hanging out with them and other friends of
yours, they are always talking to you and start socializing with your friends.
However, when you are hanging out with them and their friends, they absolutely
ignore you and forget to introduce you to their friends. Every time you try to
spark up a conversation he/she ignores you and continues to talk to their
friend.
