We all love to have friends, right? This article presents a few of the best ways to show them you truly care and love them. Follow these few tips to gain more successful and happy friendships!

1. Listen to them

Sometimes, people don't always need your advice, but just need you to attentively listen to show that you care. I’ve noticed that the more I listen to what’s going on in my friends lives, the more they want to be around me and the more loved they feel.

2. Serve them

Serving our friends sounds like a weird idea but it’s a great way to just show that you care. If you know they are super stressed one week, offer to do their laundry or clean their room. This will show them that you truly want to help for no benefit other than to just see them become happier.

3. Tell them the truth

People like to have real, genuine people as friends. Real friends will respect what your opinions are, even if they may not want to hear that answer. Don’t always tell them exactly what they want to hear, but instead, tell them the truth about what they are asking.

4. Make them a priority

Don’t just kick them to the curb when you get busy. Try to constantly involve them in your life and in your decision making. It will show them you value what they think and you rely on them for help.

5. Hug them!

Unless your friend is seriously against physical touch (I had a friend that was so, trust me it’s possible), just hug them all the time. People love to be loved on and physical touch is even one of the 5 love languages. Hugs are free and are a great way to cheer someone up and show them you care!
