What really defines a "Friend" to you? It's an important definition. Here is my basic framework.

A Friend Listens

A friend is someone you can go to with 'bad news' and know they will listen with empathy. They will try to help guide you through understanding the situation from your perspective and your options.

A Friend Builds You Up

A friend will enhance your best qualities. The help you make the best of the best part of you.

A Friends Behavior Makes You Accountable To Yourself

and they won't tell you why you are stupid or something worse happened to them once. They will help you celebrate and not tell you about the great thing that happened to them. Surround yourself with people who want the best for the best part of you. people who are facilitating your growth and development.
