What quality do you value most in a friend?

I have always believed that friends, true friends, can become family over the years.

Well, you are born into a family, and you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends. Therefore, one should be careful about whom they will rely upon, considering them a friend, because disappointment can be very hurtful. Sometimes, being hurt by a friend does more harm than being hurt by a family member. This can happen in this way since you have given away your trust, which means you opened yourself to the other person; it was your choice. For that reason, the disappointment doubles.

On the other hand, it can also happen that a friend becomes more than family. As I said, you choose your friends. This also has the advantage of finding people who are more on the same wavelength, so that you can create a deeper bond with them.

Now, what quality should a friend have in my eyes?

For me, it’s Loyalty. I think this word covers everything a true friend and friendship should be based on.
