Probably, every person in his life wondered if he had a real friend. Friendship of two people is tested not only by time, but also by actions. As a rule, the first friends appear at our school. There are times when friendship occurs in kindergarten, but this rarely happens. In addition to school, we get to know people who live next door to us. Very often it is they who become true friends for many years. School friendships do not always last.

What criteria can be used to assess true friendship? Probably, every person has their own opinion on this issue. One girl divided the people with whom she spoke into several groups: close friends, best friends, distant friends, and just acquaintances. A controversial system, but it was so convenient for her. Only sometimes close friends are able to disappoint and betray, and ordinary acquaintances can come to the rescue and support in a difficult situation.

Friendship is tested both by time and by the actions of people. A true friend will not betray. He will not discuss you behind your back, but will express his displeasure in your face. And this does not mean that the friend wants to teach a lesson. He's just worried, wants help. True friendship, even in difficult periods of life, does not collapse. Friends go through all the crises in their relationship. A devoted friend is able to understand, he will not be jealous and intrigue. In life, it often happens that friends swear over a guy with whom they both fell in love. If one of them does not give in, their friendship ends. And in the end, this guy falls in love with another girl. Teamwork can be another reason for quarrels. Especially if one of the friends is the boss, and the other is a subordinate. Better to get a job in another company.

Does distance affect friendship? When it is real, even life in different cities will not destroy it. Friends correspond, call each other, visit each other on vacation or on holidays. Even at a distance, they can always help.

In addition, a friend is a person with whom they share common interests. It is always easy and comfortable with him. You spend time together, walk with children, discuss everyday moments of life. You know the habits of a true friend by heart. You can even guess his mood at first sight. Your thoughts on what to do in the evening, or what movie to watch, coincide. Of course, every person is different. But similar interests help to maintain friendly communication for many years.

A True Friend Friendship is a precious gift that life brings. A true and devoted friend is usually one. And the person will be very lucky if he meets him. I would like to end with a wise proverb: "A friend is known in trouble."
