What qualities do you look for in a friend?
When you think of your closest friends what are some of the qualities you admire most about them?
Hey @easyMaple3687, nice to meet you. This is a great question!
I don't necessarily "look" for certain qualities, but I guess there's a natural vibe with people who possess these qualities, that I usually admire in people: good sense of humour, compassion and kindness, to sum someone I can laugh out loud with talking about the most random things and then naturally switch to serious, deep life talks hehe, someone who doesn't find silence uncomfortable/ awkward. Someone who can "mirror" me while bringing out the best in me.❤
Too many qualities and kind of people lol!
How about you though, what do you like the most in a close friend?🌻

Thank you all for your responses. I can definitely relate to all of your insights. My journey to discover healthy relationships started after I got clean and sober. I used to just hang out with people who drank and drugged, today I look for healthy quality friends of mutual respect and interest.
@easyMaple3687 The kind of people around us really do impact us a lot, I'm super happy to know you're surrounding yourself with those that bring out the better side in you, you very much deserve all the healthy friendships and kind people around you!❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou that’s right, there is a famous quote by Jim Rohn, he said “ You are the Average of the 5 people you spend the most time with “. Thanks for the imput and may you surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you
