How to Decide If Your Friend Is a True Friend

① A true friend should make you feel needed, confident and better about being alive. He will never put you down or make you feel worthless. He will always give you a kind word when you need it. If a friend makes comments that encourage you, you will know that he is a true friend.
② If your friend is a true friend, then he should listen to what you have to say. In a true friendship, both people should be sharing their thoughts and geting feedback. A true friend may talk about his own problems. But when you are talking about yours, he wil not be bored or distracted.
③ Communication is key in any relationship, especially a friendship. You and your friend should be open to each other about your thoughts and feelings. In this way, you two maintain a level of honest and open dialogue.
④ Everyone loves some gossip(说长道短) occasionally. But if your friend is always gossiping about someone, then chances are your “friend” will do the same as soon as your back is turned.
⑤ A true friend will make time for you no matter what. Though life is busy and it's hard to have enough time to sleep and eat, let alone socialize （社交）， a true friend wil always make time for you, especially if you need it.
