“Friends are the family we choose
for ourselves” as what they say. A good friendship is indeed something to savor
and protect. A good friends are those who became a family to you. We may choose
to have them but how are we going to protect that friendship and make it last
harmoniously. Here are some tips on how to maintain harmonious and healthy
relationship with your friends.
1.
Make Time
and Show Appreciation- generosity is the key to happiness. Always thank
your friends when he or she does something for you such as their support,
advices, and their shoulders that they’ve offered you when you are in a rough
time. Remember also to return favors when your friend goes out of his or her
way to help you. Spend your spare time doing something new, plan some
activities that both of you could enjoy.
2.
Support each
other when things get rough- in life we can’t predict when hard times or
rainy days will occur. Sometimes it just happens the day after our happiness. Sometimes
our friend carries their own personal problem alone, so as a friend to them, we
should be able to at least comfort them. We should tell them that we are
willing to listen and tell them that we are always by their side no matter
what.
3.
Build trust-
this is just so simple but hard to do. When we are in a friendship, we should
show to our peers that we are trustworthy enough and we have trust on them.
4.
Maintain contact-
if someone is away, always keep I touch. Call them regularly and visit them
when you can.
5.
Handle arguments
maturity- when you and your friend have a conflict, don’t lash out and yell
at them, talk with them about your problems calmly instead and listen to both
sides.
Holding yourself with these five ways will help you
develop with yourself and expand your potential to grow meaningful friendships
through out life.
