True Friends

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

I was confronted with a question.

"What should I do about my
friend who found out I said
she's shallow?"

First, I asked the question,
"Is it true?"

"Yeah." She responded.

It's best to talk to a true
friend. Explain your
feelings.

"How can I share my feelings
when she's always talking
about herself."

Pick a moment when
you both are relaxed,
and start the conversation.

Let a friend know
you want his/her opinion.
He/she is the only one who
can understand the problem.

Ask for his/her help.

A true friend listens, shares
an opinion, and you might
not like his/her thoughts.
Still, honesty should
come from a true friend.

If you're a true friend, you'd
tell a friend how you feel,
and not go behind his/her
back.

If your friend finds out
about your gossip, admit
me. Apologize.

If he/she vents, you have
to graciously accept it.

After all, you gossiped
about a friend.

Ask your friend what
can you do to make
amends.

It's possible time and
space will be needed.

Try to stay away from
accusing your friend
of anything. It's best
to let your friend talk.

If you have to, schedule
an appointment with a friend
to chat about an issue,
problem.

It's disrespectful to a
friendship, friend, to talk
about him/her behind
his/her back.

Still, we all make mistakes,
and point that out to your
friend. Mention the fact
if an opportunity presents
itself.

Remember, let your
friend do most of the
talking.

Promise to never
talk behind your
friend's back, and
mean it. Say what
you need to his/her
face.

It's better to
tell him/her than
have another confrontation.

Most likely, it will take time
to gain your friend's trust
back.

Sometimes, you lose
a friend over it. So, it's
best to stab a friend
in the face, and not
the back.
