Value that
is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating the
following on a consistent basis:
§
The
tendency to desire what is best
for the other
§
Sympathy and empathy,
Honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak
the truth, especially in terms of
pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart
§
Mutual understanding and compassion;
ability to go to each other for emotional support
§
Enjoyment
of each other's company
§
Trust in one another
§
Positive reciprocity — a relationship is based on equal
give-and-take between the two parties.
§
The
ability to be oneself, express one's feelings and make mistakes without fear of
judgement.
