Tips to help you turn yourself into a real friendship

1. Focus on what you can give to a friend, not what you can get out of a friendship. Friendship means give and take. Never use a friend just to satisfy your needs and leave him/her when you don’t need him/her anymore.

2. Disagreement shouldn’t destroy friendship. Having different opinion to discuss with is natural and healthy but if this thing will lead to you to get mad at one another, stops it.

3. If you see your friend making mistakes, point them out tactfully to her. Be careful in correcting your friend’s mistakes. Don’t force her to change right away. You must remember it takes a lot of patience to change your friend’s attitudes and behavior.

4. Encourage your friend. Don’t put her/him down when you learn that she is achieving something; instead encourage or inspire her to work harder and to be happy for what she has achieved.

5. Be there for both the good and bad times. If you heard that your friend got promoted to any position, you celebrate it, and if you heard that your friend has a problem, be there to support and console her. Most of the times, what a friend really needs is a sympathetic ear, someone who will understand his feelings.

6. Be willing to forgive. If someone gets a mistake, we must know how to forgive.

7. Learn to accept personal differences with your friend. We must learn to accept our friend for what she is and try to help her gradually.

8. Never try to control your friend. Learn to accept the truth that your friend has other friend aside from you.

Friends may come and go, it rewards us with growth and leaves in us a reminder of life in pain or happiness and it educates us to select the best of friends we want to.
