Top 10 Signs You Are a Great Friend

I wanted to make a list of many positive traits that show someone is truly a good friend. However, there's so much more to being a good friend than just being nice or liking someone.

Friends and family are always there to support each other, whether it's offering help, spreading love, or showing compassion. We stick together and never give up on one another.

The Top Ten

  1. You care about other people's feelings

    It's good to care about other people's feelings, including your friends and peers. You try to help other people out and are very caring towards your friends and family.

    You can also try to make them feel happy by doing the best you can, which is a true sign you are a wonderful person.

    I'm glad this is first. What is a friend if they don't care about your feelings? Real friends comfort you when you feel sad and are always there for you. I'm grateful to have such friends who care about me.

    Obviously. What's the point of being friends if you don't care about the person?

  2. You are honest

    Honesty is very important. It's good to be honest about your emotions and feelings. A true friend is honest with other people, often tells the truth, and truly cares for their friends.

    Dishonesty, on the other hand, is the opposite of being a good friend. However, nobody is perfect, and even usually honest people tell lies at some point. This is because everyone does it occasionally, even truly honest and trustworthy friends. It's still important to be honest with others, especially with your friends and family.

    Honesty is sadly rarer than most people think, but it's one of the best traits of a good friend.

  3. You are respectful towards others

    Even if you don't agree with everything that other people say, it would be nice to respect other people's opinions and show some respect towards their talents and feelings. When you make a new friend, the best thing to do is show some respect and talk to them in a friendly manner.

  4. You are trustworthy

    A trustworthy friend is someone you can rely on. These types of people wouldn't betray their friends and are usually very honest. However, sometimes you cannot trust everybody, especially since some online users could pretend to be your friend to manipulate you for their own purposes.

    It's true you can't always trust everybody, but there are some really good people out there who would never betray you, including your best friends and your family.

    I like friends that are reliable.

  5. You are patient and understanding

    Being patient and trying to understand others is another good trait. When you are talking to others, being patient with them and trying to understand what they are saying or thinking is very polite and respectful.

    When your friend is having a conversation with you, it's important to listen carefully, try to be as calm as possible, and not interrupt.

  6. You are loyal

    Most of the list sums up that loyalty and trust are important when it comes to friendship. If you are a loyal friend, you always look out for the people who truly care for you and are faithful to others.

    A loyal and faithful friend is a truly wonderful friend indeed.

    I don't like it when friends are not loyal.

  7. You are kind

    Being kind to others is another sign of being a good friend and a really nice person. You have a heart of gold and are truly sweet towards other people.

    Kindness is a very nice quality to have for a good friend, and it makes other people feel good about themselves.

    Kindness is key in some moments.

  8. You try to do the right thing for others and help out

    Helping other people is a very nice thing to do. Whether they actually need help, try to understand them better and do the right thing, such as saving their lives or helping them as a guide.

    When you are in a huge amount of trouble, your friends are usually there for you.

    This is very important. Just try to be a good person overall.

  9. You are fun to talk to and be around

    Being fun to talk to is a sign you are a friendly person to be around. You say nice things to other people, have a bit of a laugh now and then, and can go on adventures together, traveling to different places.

    We can also have fun talking to each other because that's one of the reasons friends are for.

    This is very important to me. Don't be boring.

  10. You defend your friends against bullies

    The way this one was worded makes it sound like we're talking about a world leader or something, not your everyday friend. But I suppose it's otherwise spot on.

    My friends and I get bullied a lot, so we stick up for each other.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    You look past others' flaws and mistakes

  12. ?

    You think about others

    13. The Contenders

  13. You are funny and try to make others smile

    Sometimes being funny and having a good sense of humor can make other people feel happy and smile. You have a good sense of humor and you like to make your friends feel happy.

    That's another wonderful trait to have.

    This is probably the most important to me.

  14. You lend money to your friends

  15. You are dependable
