What do you think is the perfect friendship look like

I feel like you can never feel the same connection with 2 people and most of the time there's always gonna be people who you consider your 'best friend' There are way too many qualities that make up a good friend, but what makes a good friend ship is completely different. Whether if it's you share the same common interests with a person and can deeply communicate and connect with them, or to the most silly things like liking the same food and such. I feel like sharing common interests is what starts off a really good friendship as you are able to build upon the friendship knowing you can relate to them like no other. Another quality that makes up a good friendship is gaining confidence with that person, allowing yourself to feel completely normal and comfortable just saying anything to that person makes you feel good and wanna be around this person. A good friendship could also be noticeable by the 2 people putting the same amount of effort in into the friendship by keeping them around and close, such as always inviting them around you and of course hanging around them. Trusting the other person is always a really important trait to have, from always sharing your stuff and always allowing them to use your stuff can create and build a form of trust. Always being able to make the situation enjoyable for each other also is a great step in making a perfect friendship. Always being the first person you go to and talk about anything and everything knowingly your friend will take care of you and help you out is a prime aspect of friendship. I feel like this part doesn't matter too much, but getting to know their family is a huge step forward to a friendship, like feeling at home at their house is the best feeling especially if their parents adore you. A good friendship is all about connection, honestly, loyalty. It's always based upon how 2 different peoples personalities connect and what good can come from it! A "perfect" friendship is rare to find.

 

Well first thing there is no such thing as "perfect friendship". When having a relationship with another person its either going to be either more toxic or more beneficial for both ends. Its up to you to classify which is which. Personally I would say a good friendship would be one that

1. Actually listens 2. Gives GOOD advice 3. encourages each other 4. Calls you out when you make mistakes 5. Does not use confidential conversations/experiences against you 6. Can be there for you through thick and thin 7. Can forgive 8. Doesn't let little disagreements affect whole relationship 9. Trusts is mutual 10. Can identify the difference between a joke and being serious 11. Realizes there is a line 12. Stands up for you as you would with them 13. Isn't judgmental 14. Doesn't pin their problems on you all the time (without good reasoning) 15. Respects you as well as themselves 16. Has goals/plans 17. Isn't fake/ doesn't talk behind your back 18. Values life 19. Is willing to give up little things/ improve themselves for you and them 20. Both maintains relationship

Friendships are not meant to be perfect. People are not meant to be perfect. This advice that I am giving may seem for hypocritical to others. So before anyone tries to call me on it, this is something that I want to learn from and be one day I guess. If you are in a friendship that is toxic just leave it. Don't let someone make you miserable. Don't let you let yourself be miserable. Friendships like these are hard to find and hard to maintain. So be patient and know when to give up.

 

You both gotta be just equally obsessed with each other. You gotta be willing to listen to what the person has to say and help them go through whatever they’re dealing with. You gotta be able to trust the person with your whole soul and so have they. You have to be willing to give them the world, so have they. You gotta be loyal to each other. If you tell them “you’re the most important friend to me” but you don’t read their messages first and they’re not the first one you message if you’re feeling down or you need advice then you’re just playing with their feelings. No relationships are perfect and they’re not meant to be. However, in order to maintain one stable and to make the most out of it I believe the mentioned points are important

 

Now that is what you call a great response! This is very accurate. I wonder how long it took you to write all of that. I cant even find 20 reasons why someone is a good friend. Nice job!
