They say that there is no female friendship … Let them talk! If you are lucky and have a real friend in your life, then you can be envied.
And for those who doubt whether such a phenomenon exists in life at all, these are our signs of a real friend. They will help you get your bearings.
She rejoices at your success
Sincerely and without envy, only a person who really appreciates and respects you, whom you can rightfully call your true friend, can rejoice at your successes.
A friend, upon learning that you went for a promotion or met the Man of your dreams, makes a sour face instead of being happy for you. This means that there is more rivalry in your relationship than friendship.
She tells you the truth
She does not lie to you and does not force you to lie. Even if everyone around flatteringly asserts that the new hairstyle is “youthful” and “looks original”, a real friend will always find the strength to let you know that a change of image is not good for you.
There are situations when even a real friend can slightly twist his soul so as not to inflict mental trauma on you. But if you feel that your friend is cutting the truth-uterus in spite of everything, if she seems to feel pleasure when she manages to unbalance you, then this friend is unlikely to be real.
She does not encroach on your men
A real friend will not allow any flirting, ambiguous jokes or slow dancing with your man, because her friend's men are taboo for her.
A friend, hiding behind your location, is trying to establish a relationship with your man. Make sure she doesn't use you to achieve her selfish goals.
She is not intrusive and does not get jealous
A real friend does not consider you her own. It doesn’t impose itself, it doesn’t require you to pay too much attention to it. She will not be jealous if you make friends with her friends.
You feel that there are "too many" friends in your life. She persistently tries to "penetrate" into your family circle, imposing her company even when you said that you would like to be with your family. This is no longer friendship, but addiction.
She is always ready to help
A real friend is the closest person who will always listen and understand, comfort and help in difficult times. She will always lend money to paycheck or tell (only you!) The recipe for the signature cake.
A friend talks for hours about her problems, and looks at yours "through his fingers." In this case, your relationship can hardly be called friendship, because friendship is a "two-way" phenomenon, and not a game with only one goal.
