Friendships are some of the most important relationships that we will ever have in our lives. But how to build a solid friendship? Here are five tips for you.
Tip 1. _____
True friendships can only be built in honesty. This is more than just telling the truth. Being real and open about who you are and your thoughts and feelings are a part of building a solid friendship. If your "friends" don't even really know you, who are they really friends with?
Tip 2. Shared Experiences
As you build your friendship, you will share many experiences together. Some of these may be great
adventures or hard times that the two of you go through together. These shared experiences are things that you will laugh about, talk about, and cry about no matter how much time passes.
Tip 3. Sacrificial(牺牲精神的)love
Love is the basis(基础)of all solid relationships. I am not referring to the emotion(情感) of love, but to
the action of love. Love is what will cause a friend to get out of bed in the middle of the night to help
another. Love is what will put aside someone's own wants to make sure that their friend is alright.
Tip 4. Understanding
When a friendship is solid, it will be based on each other's understanding. You may not agree with
everything that a friend says or does, but you will be able to put yourself into his or her shoes to begin to
understand. Offering understanding to a friend is very important, as it allows them to feel that they have
someone in their corner that they can talk to and who will offer advice and suggestions, without having to
worry that if they don't always follow it, the friendship will be lost.
Tip 5. Acceptance
A solid friendship is one in which two people accept one another, faults and all, for just who they are.
There is no having to build up false excuses, or hide away the "dark secrets" from one another. We
accept each other as whole, complete, and totally unique people.
