MODERATORS
When you catch up it’s as if no time has passed no matter how long it’s been since you last spoke to them.
This is probably the best sign of a great friendship
Takes interest in what you have to say.
Makes time for you when it’s needed and reasonable.
Initiates conversations and hangouts, even when they don’t need anything from you.
Has their own hobbies and interests outside of the friendship.
When they make an effort and want to do things you want to do
They discreetly tell you about your bad breath. Or something like that.
Respect.
Do they respect your boundaries? Do they respect your time? Do they respect your opinions? Do they respect the people you love as if they were an extension of you?
Do they respect you? If the answer is no, that's not a friend.
Freshly baked goods delivered without asking, and without any need for anything returned in kind.
Just because.
You could be living separate lives but when shit goes down, they’re there for you! Always separates the real ones out there
