What quality do you value most in a friend?
I definitely believe that quality is better than quantity when choosing friends.
I want to be able to rely on their support and encouragement. Someone I can share my thoughts and feelings with no fear of being judged. Trustworthiness, honesty, and dependability are good traits to have.
I do not sugarcoat lies for anyone. I believe that if you have something to say, say it. And I expect people to be honest. I’ve said before I have trust issues because of the experiences in my life. I need trustworthiness, honesty and compassion because I do not waver on those things in friendships.
The basic goal in any friendship or in life in general is, to “treat people the way you want to be treated.”
