Wow. I love them, to say the least. Without my friends I would be one lonely, sad, pathetic introvert. My friends inspire me in so many ways, creatively, spiritually, etc. They encourage me, which I often need! I can only hope that at least one of my friends reciporactes those feelings.
here's the Wikipedia definition...
Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:
- The tendency to value what is best for the other.
- Sympathy and empathy
- Honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart
- mutual understanding and compassion
- Trust in one another (able express feelings - including of the other's actions - without the fear of being judged); able to go to each other for emotional support
- Positive reciprocity - a relationship is based on equal give and take between the two parties.
