Friendship fi fi A good friend is a person who understands you, has your back at all times, helps when you have fallen, whether physically or emotionally, and then cheers you up too. The best of friends provide continuous comfort and support, which shows they truly care. My friends make me feel more self-con dent and happy with myself. Being loyal, kind, reassuring, caring, and supportive are important qualities to have in a friendship. Good friends are loyal to each other, with no talking behind the back. A true friend has these attributes; and if these traits are mutual or reciprocated, then it’s truly a very special and healthy friendship that bene ts more than just one person. That’s what I strive for in my relationships, with not just my friends, but all loved ones.
