One quality of an excellent friend is......

Understands you and accepts you as you are but makes you realize when you are wrong.

Loyalty

Someone to who really hears you when you speak, doesn't just listen but relates to you, the feelings your going through, sees the pain & acknowledges it. Finds the funny in the sad, turns your fears into security & your pain into happiness. I loved having a friend that could finish my sentences, but that friendship didn't last. Since then I've found that someone that close wasn't ideal, someone who never gets used to you is so much better, imo;) life was meant to be a surprise;)

Honesty.

To express yourself to them without being judged

Someone who can be supportive as well as being a real friend all the time, not just at their convenience.

LOYALTY!~

Love, not romance but just genuine love and care for each other and wanting the best for one another

one who never judges you but stays there with you no matter what comes the way...

He knows when to talk and when tonlisten and when to do both
