Being a friend doesn’t mean you say “yes” to everything or that you ignore bad and insulting behavior, but it does mean you make an effort to care about the other person – what they think, feel, do and want in life.
Being a friend means being curious and interested. It means practicing active and reflective listening skills. It means asking more questions about the other person rather than wanting to talk about yourself all of the time. It means being the one to call when you think the other person should be the one to do it.
Being a friend means taking an interest in someone, whether you meet them through work, volunteering, religious institutions, neighborhood walks, school events, or on an educational journey. Don’t pass people over because you think they are, not informed, or introverted. Everyone has a story to tell, and by allowing an open space for someone to tell their story, you may find you enjoy their company.
Not everyone will be a friend or needs to be your friend. Sometimes people are content with just one or two very close and reliable friends. Search people out and when you find someone who fits you, make an effort to sustain and deepen the relationship by listening to and caring about the other person.
And be sure to pick up the phone, send a text, or drop by to visit when you can. Most people seek connection but don’t have time to find it, so be the one to extend the branch without waiting and be the friend you’d like to have for someone else.
