Loyalty is one of the most important qualities in true friendship. True friends trust each other enough to share with them all of their secrets without fear of having to hear these secrets told unto others (Rowan 2014). As a true friend it is important to value your friendship and ensure that you do not discuss your friend behind their backs.
Being helpful is another essential character that calls for selflessness from all the parties so as to enhance a true friendship. Listen so well to your friend as you converse as this will help you understand them and help them out. As they go through hardships in life, be there to support them with their needs and struggles.

True friendship therefore calls for one to build characters which will enhance their friendship to grow, deepen, thrive and stay for a longer period.
