What makes a good friend and why? 1. A good friend has particular qualities you'd be hard (pushed to) find in the majority of people. That's why most people only have 2 or 3 good friends throughout their lives.
2. Someone who listens, because for me, in this world of constant chatter, it's really special when you meet someone who shows genuine (interest in you as) an individual.
3. I think friendship (is all about give) and take. If you're looking for a perfect friend, well, I'm afraid they don't exist. a true friend is someone whose imperfections are part of what you like about them.
4. I think to answer that, I'd have to think about how many real friends I've had in my life. And the truth is, I can count (them all on) one hand. One thing they all have in common is that they make that extra effort for you.
5. I'm not sure what exact qualities or circumstances have to coincide for two people to be real friends. But take my best friend Michael – When I first met him, I didn't like him at all. And now we get (on like a house on) fire. I think it's a combination of things really, like mutual interests or background – stuff like that.
6. Real friends know how to laugh with you, and cry with you. Fair weather friends are easy to make, but a true friend will (stick with you through) thick and thin.
