1. They love you unconditionally
A true friend loves you no matter what. They love you when you're being dumb, when you're happy, when you're sad, and when you're angry.
2. They won't judge you for being yourself
A true friend wants you to be yourself. They don't want you to hide any part of yourself. They don't mind that sometimes you're quirky or mean or sad. They wouldn't want you to be anything other than yourself.
3. They will make poor decisions with you
A good friend will be there to make poor decisions with you. These bad decisions make the best memories. They will be memories you will never forget.
4. They will make you laugh
True friends will make you laugh so hard that you start crying. They say and do funny things and you end up laughing about random things for hours. You are all happy and laugh together as much as possible.
5. They will be your wing man/woman
They want you to be happy, and what other way to do that then to help your friend get a woman/man. They make you look super good, and they know exactly how to talk you up and know when it's the right time to leave.
6. They will be 100% honest with you
When I say 100% honest I man brutally honest. They will tell you things you don't even want to hear about. They'll tell you when they're in the bathroom, they'll tell you when that shirt doesn't look good on you, and they'll tell you when they don't like your significant other.
7. They will drop what they are doing to be there for you
A true friend will be there for you no matter what. It doesn't matter what time or day it is. If you were to call them at 3 a.m. they would be there for you. If you are having a hard time, a true friend will drop everything they're doing to be there for you.
8. They trust you and you trust them
Trust is the foundation of every friendship. Without trust a friendship doesn't work. You should be able to tell your friend everything and anything. They should be able to keep your secrets even when it is something they want to tell someone else.
9. They won't abandon you
A true friend will never abandon you. If you need them they will be there. If you tell them something deep and personal that they don't like, they will be there. They will be loyal and never leave you, no matter what.
