When you get to your thirties, your priorities change. Things that may have seemed important before will look silly now. When I celebrated my 30th birthday, I realized that my life was about to change. I used to have tons of friends but I couldn’t say every single one of them was a “quality” friend. During my twenties, I didn’t think about the type of people I spent time with. But now that I’m in my mid-thirties, I’m very selective about the kind of people I want to call my friends. Now, I have fewer friends but they are the best I can ever pray for.
You’re alike
There has to be some similarities(相似之处)whether it be love of politics, literature, movies. There just has to be a common ground.
You show each other mutual(相互的)respect
Every smart person knows that respect is earned and real friends respect each other. They know when they need to be quiet and give you privacy and space or when they should shake you back to your senses. My friends give me advice but they respect my decision even if they don’t agree with it.
You have fun together
True friends have fun with each other even when they are doing the stupidest or craziest things.
You can depend on each other
I am the type of friend who doesn’t mind getting woken up in the middle of the night when a friend is in trouble. Because I believe that true friends can depend on each other.
They accept you
This is one of the most important quality of real friends—they accept each other for what they are or are not. They don’t judge each other for the mistakes their friends make, or their past.
They’re thoughtful with you
True friends think about you, worry about you, and tell you when they’re worried.
