Friends play an important
role in my life. They encourage when I am sad, they entertain when I am
lonesome, and they listen when I am in problems. There are varieties of
friends: co-workers, social workers, schoolmates, and much more. Each type of
friends is helpful in one way or the other. Co-workers could help solve
problems and stress gain in the workplace. Friends that grew up with would
share the happiness and sadness one might has. However, friends that grew up
with might not always be the best friends because they could faking it or been
concealing some secrets. So, it is very important to recognize all the friends
because good friends are hard to find.
Good friends should not be measured only
base on the time spent together. With good friends, one is able to have a more
meaningful life. It is very difficult to have a definition of a good friend for
everyone to agree upon. Since everyone has different personalities, friends one
looks for could be very different. Nonetheless, there are some common characteristics
shared among most of the definitions. The three main qualities that define a
good friend are loyal, understanding, and encouraging. Loyal is one of the main
qualities one looks for when searching for friends. Trusts are gain by having
trustworthy friends. At least once in a person’s life, one would encounter a
friend that likes to share secrets that belong to others with his/her friends.
This could be very entertaining for his/her friends, yet the person with the
secret would feel irritated. With no doubts, one would not desire to have a
blabbermouth person as a friend; except one wants to spread rumors around or
wants to find out other people’s secrets. So, it would be most comfortable to
tell secrets to someone that is trustworthy. A loyal friend would protect their
friends’ secrets under any condition.
