Friendship, or Not?

                You know your friends truly are friends when you can hang out, do absolutely nothing and it’s fun. Real friends are sometimes hard to spot out in a crowd but a big sign of true friendship is when you can just do the most random things and the time seems to pass by so fast because of all the fun! You can always do things like gossip and truth or dare but the best of friends can talk about your life and every detail about it for hours.

You can sing to every single song and screw up pretty much all the words and they will just sing along. If you can’t be who you truly are you may want to relink this friendship! A true friend should bring out your personality and celebrate it. Not make you change it. When they text you, you don’t have to think twice about what your reply will be. If you have to think too hard around them, don’t waste your time on them because you are obviously not being truthful about who you actually are.

                You can get lost on your way to a party with them, yet not feel lost at all because they are by your side. If you feel secure and safe around your friends then that is a good sign. You shouldn’t have to worry about anything when you are around wonderful people!

                Your best friends should be helpful! When you have a big decision to make they should tell you their honest opinion because “I don’t care just do whatever you want to do.” doesn’t help much!

                You can rate each other’s belches nonchalantly. Ok, this may be a little odd for some of you but each friendship kind of has its own little “thing”. Whatever that may be, it’s special, no matter how weird.

                 They ask you about yourself before they talk about them. It’s kind of like any relationship; they should truly care about what it going on in your life. Has your great, great grandma two times removed on your step dads’ side died yet? Ok, maybe they shouldn’t want to know that much detail about your live, but they should care about the big things. For example, how you are feeling and what your plans are for the weekend.

                You can agree to disagree. It is easy for friendships to break up over a silly disagree meant. Simply saying “let’s agree to disagree” may solve the problem. If not, they are being way too uptight and you may want to spend a time away from them for a while….

                 Laugh about dumb stuff. This is definitely one of the top things a friendship should have. Inside joke are always good because they connect a group of people in a way that no one can understand. That’s why it’s an inside joke!

                Make weird faces without embarrassment. You should really be able to do anything and not be embarrassed around your best friends.

                Good friends are hard to come by. You know the ones? Even once you grow up and move away they still find a way to be by your side-Yeah those ones! But if your friendship has all of these great qualities, I would say it’s going just fine! (550)
