Good friends make life better. Here’s how to build and keep strong, positive relationships.
Authenticity attracts the right people. Don’t feel pressured to change who you are to fit in.
Share your thoughts and feelings honestly. Listen to your friends and show you care about what they say.
It’s okay to say no or take time for yourself. Healthy friendships respect each other’s limits.
Celebrate your friends’ successes and be there during tough times. A little encouragement goes a long way.
Disagreements happen. Talk things out calmly and try to see things from their perspective.
Friendships take effort from both sides. Invest in people who make you feel valued and safe.
