Do you want friends?

Then be a good friend to others

Your thoughts (156)

Friends make life more fun and share the burden of your troubles. It doesn't matter how many friends you have. What matters most is being a good friend to the people you care about. There are a million ways to be a good friend! Here are some ideas:

  • A golden rule is to think about what you would want and need from a friend - and act that way toward your friends.
  • Listen to your friends and respect others’ opinions - even if their ideas are different to yours.
  • Accept your friends for who they are. Good friends don't constantly criticize their friends or try to change them. Appreciate your friends for who they are and treat them as you would want to be treated.
  • Be understanding and forgiving. Put yourself in your friend’s shoes - we all make mistakes.
  • Be trustworthy. This means doing what you say you will do and never going behind your friend’s back. Not sharing secrets your friends tell you, unless they are in danger. If they are in danger and need help, find a find an adult you trust to talk to.

Is It Necessary To Have A Best Friend? I Feel Jealous When I See Close Friend, Who Share Their Secret To Themselves

March 20, 2022, 8:04 p.m.

Latest Reply

Hey Loveth6! It all depends on you. Some people do not trust others with their secrets and affairs so they don't have best friends. You do not have to be jealous. Just find a trustworthy friend or group of girls that you like and build that bond. Please note that you have to be a good friend first before you can find a friend that can be good to you. We hope this helps.

Hey Chik! So sorry to hear about your experience, you are not the only one going through this. Real friends are hard to find sometimes. What you need to focus on is being a good person. There are chances that if you are really a good friend, you will attract good people to yourself. We hope this helps.

Hey Joshua123! If you are shy, there are so many other ways to tell her how you feel about her. You can start by being friends with her or you can write a letter to her or even talk to her. But we advice that you summon courage to talk to her. The worst that can happen is that she will say no and that is never the end of the world. We hope this helps.

Hey Cruzey! You are very correct. It is indeed hard to choose friends. The first rule is to be a good friend before you can find a good friend. Once that is done, you can find friends that are honest, supportive, friendly, not jealous, and many more. Once you list out what you want, you will find a good friend. We hope this helps.

Hey Steph! No, it isn't. As a matter of fact, it is normal as we are all humans and there is always room for doubt. When you are in doubt, think about the things that you really like about them (their strengths). You can also think of the fun times you have had with them too. These may help clear your doubts. We hope this helps.

Hey Amaya! This happens a lot of times. Communication is very important and you both need to talk it out. Maybe you offended her without even knowing so you may want to apologise to her for peace to reign. Also, maybe you should approach her in private with a more friendly approach, maybe she will listen. We hope this helps.

hello am new here and i found everything here interesting. of which i would love to invite my friends too to join. am having a problem with a friend who is pretending to be my best friend but always jealous of me. i don't know what to do with this friend advice please

Hey Gucci_papi! Thanks for this comment. You may want to talk to this friend of yours telling him/her about what you have observed. Please note that this is a very delicate matter so try as much as possible to be polite to avoid getting into a fight with him/her. Also, if you do not feel like talking will help, you may want to pull back for a while to know if the friend will change. But we strongly suggest that you talk things over (not with anger or bitterness). We hope this helps.

Hey Horyinkansolha! He is ignoring you because he doesn't know that you have feelings for him. If you want him to know that you have feelings for you or notice you, you need to let him know how you feel about him. We hope this helps.

Hey Pinkybabe! The essence of friendship is to have people that you can trust. If you do not feel comfortable with them, then there is no need for you to be friends with them them. The choice of the kind of friends you should have is yours but you need to think of the kind of friends you want to have and then look at your 3 friends to know if they possess what it is that you are looking for. We hope this helps.

Hey Jesy! So sorry to hear this. What you have to do is up to you because you are directly involved in this. Before you make a decision though, consider if it is worth it? Remember, you do not have to fight anyone to keep anyone. It can be really hard to ignore all of this but remember fighting will not solve anything and no one is worth fighting for. So think it through properly before making a decision. We hope this helps.

Hey Princess! Communication is key in relationships (friends). If she did something that offended your mum, tell her. She probably is not aware of what she did and may be wondering what happened. Even if she is fully aware of what she did, talk to her. You both need to make amends and sort things out (Please do this peacefully and politely). No dispute can be sorted out in silence. We hope this helps.

Hi, I'm Tolu. I am a very social type but don't know how to handle friendship. I make and keep a lot of friends. any friend I meet/keep gets so intimate with me, they share their problems, weakness, thoughts, plans with me, I do same too with them. we advise each other but over time the friendship starts going down to the extent that we'll stop talking. I get scared and unhappy whenever I lose a friend or when they get new friends or when they stop communicating with me. pls, what can I do..?

Hey mubzy! Thanks for the comment. The fact that you are 17 doesn't mean that you should be in a relationship. Being in a relationship has nothing to do with age but rather your readiness and maturity for a relationship and not your age. Before you get into a relationship, you need to be sure that you know why you are getting into a relationship and also know what you want to achieve from that relationship. Relationships come with lots of responsibility. We hope this helps

Hey Gesi! There is nothing wrong with your best friend having other friends. The fact that you are both friends does not mean that you both should not have other friends. If you feel like there are some things that she is not sharing with you, you should tell her politely and ask her why she is not sharing certain things with you. Do not be imposing but just gently and politely ask her. We hope this helps
