Qualities of a Good Friend

A good friend is attentive (周到的) and adaptable (有适应能力的).A good friend is a fairly good listener and notices how little, day-to-day things affect you.He can’t read your mind, but chances are he can usually tell when you’ re happy, sad, excited, shocked or upset.If a good friend is aware that he’s doing something that annoys you, he’ll try to change his ways or at least talk to you about it.

A true friend supports you and your goals.A really good friend will know what makes you tick and help you become the person you want to be.He won’t try to change who you are, drag you into situations that make you uncomfortable or put you at risk of losing something that matters.

Good friends are trustworthy (值得信赖的,可靠的).True friends won’t try to steal your girlfriend or boyfriend, your job or your personality.They won’t gossip about you constantly or try to damage your reputation.They will let you know when they’re concerned and do their best to stick up for (支持,维护) you when you’re in trouble.

A good friend accepts you and your faults! In friendship, acceptance goes hand in hand with loyalty.A true friend rolls with the punches(从容应对) as you grow and change and knows how to deal with your quirks(奇事,怪癖) and faults.

A true friend sticks with you through good times and bad times.Good friends are also patient with you when you make mistakes—even big ones—and learn how to forgive you when you hurt them.In other words, they treat you as you’d like to be treated, even when you aren’t at your best.
