Your friends are there for you to learn from their pain and grow.
Friendship should be fair. It becomes charity if youre always the giver and the other person the receiver and without reciprocation.
Friends can be the best place for support. They can also be insightful and delightful to you.
Friends can be the family you never had.
Not all friends are worthy of your immediate attention. Remember that bad friends are still in the category of 'friends'.
Some friends may want to show their dominance over you. Thread lightly.
Friendship is not supposed to hurt.
If they don't consider your needs, they arent your real friends.
We make time for our friends. But in doing so, plan the time right so that you don't neglect your own needs.
You don't need many friends to feel appreciated. One good one is enough. At most times, lean on yourself. Youre your first best friend.
Have friends.
Classify your friends into groups. Classify them per their roles in your life. It will save you from investing in the wrong people.
