If you’d like to be a really good friend...
...here is some friendly advice from Sally Horchow, author of “The Art of Friendship:”
• Stop giving/taking advice. If you’re constantly telling a friend how to fix problems, or if you’re the one with daily drama, the relationship usually ends up unbalanced. Avoid falling into the “know-it-all” or “troubled” roles.
• Keep it fresh. It’s a good idea to show your best friend a different side of yourself once in a while. The easiest way to do that is to plan a get-together with people from different areas of your life such as college, work or family.
• Small gestures can have a big impact. We naturally thank someone we’re not that close to when they do us a favor. A thank you note or small token of appreciation can mean even more in a close friendship that doesn’t really require that.
