Expectations You Should Have For Any Friendship: 

• Trust in One Another.
• Support in Tough Times.
• Respecting Limits and Expectations.
•  Being Honest About Feelings.
•  Having Mercy When Mistakes Are Made.
   

Trust in one another

As genuine friendship implies being able to rely on one another, having trust and confidence in your buddy is one of the most essential conditions for a healthy connection. Respecting and maintaining the privacy of their words, regardless of their importance, is a crucial aspect of being a friend. 

                                        A good friend will always listen with open ears, never make fun of others, and give advice when requested. Being able to communicate to a trusted friend about a private matter you are going through and knowing that they won't judge you or the situation is an example of having a trustworthy buddy.

Support in Tough Times

Being a true listener is one of the best ways to show your support for a friend who is going through a difficult moment.

• Put your phone somewhere safe.
• Turn off the irritants.
• Being totally present and emotionally involved in the conversation is what is meant by active listening, which goes beyond simply hearing what your friend has to say.
• Tell your friend that you are here to listen to them without passing judgment or attempting to solve their problems. They have your full attention.
• Recall that occasionally our buddies simply need to let everything out and rant.

Respecting Limits and Expectations

You may build wholesome, enduring, and meaningful connections in your life by learning how to set limits with your pals. Remember that limits are flexible and can be adjusted as you and your friendships change. 
You also get to decide what, when, and how you want to share certain elements of your life with others. Speaking out about how much of your private matters someone is allowed to share with others is not anything to be afraid of.
Speak out for yourself if you observe that there is an imbalance in your friendship and that you are constantly the one investing your time and effort while getting very little in return. Express your feelings to your friend and ask them to do something to help balance the situation.
 

 Being Honest About Feelings 

Honest is the cornerstone of friendships. We rely on our friends to support us at difficult times, to protect our secrets, and to be honest with us even when it hurts to hear. The foundation of a strong friendship is honesty.

There is a greater degree of trust amongst friends when they are honest with one another. because we are confident that our friend will not hesitate to be honest with us, even when it hurts. We are aware that they are not attempting to dominate or manipulate us and that they only have our best interests in mind.

Friends rely on one another for consolation, counsel, and encouragement. Only honesty can serve as the basis for this trust.

 Having Mercy When Mistakes Are Made

It is important to extend mercy and forgiveness to friends in order to strengthen the bonds between them.
A friend's friendship may dissolve if they cling to their unpleasant past experiences with one another. To build a new and stronger connection than the one that existed before, one must be kind to a friend who truly feels that they have made a mistake, forgive them both for their unpleasant exchanges, and go on.
 

Thank you friends…
