If you don’t wanna lose your friends and want to treasure them in your life, you can just follow some simple rules mentioned below:

• Permit Your Friends To Be Themselves: Accept them as they are. Accept each one’s imperfections – and individuality – and don’t feel threatened if their opinions and tastes sometimes differ from yours.

•        Respect Their Feelings: We are entitled to our private feelings and thoughts. Friends who try to invade their inner feelings of one another risk destroying the relationship.

•       Be Ready To Give And To Receive: Be eager to help and able to ask for help as well. But don’t be over-demanding.

•        Make Your Advice Constructive: When a friend needs to talk, listen without interruption. If advice is asked for, be positive and supportive.

•        Be Loyal: Loyalty is faithfulness. It means “being with” your friend in bad times as well as good. It means honoring confidence. It means neither dishonoring a friend in his absence nor allowing others to do so.

•       Give Praise and Encouragement: Tell your friends what you like about them, how thankful you are for their presence in your life. Delight in their talents, applaud their success.

•      Be Honest: Open communication is of the essence of friendship. Express your feelings, good and bad instead of bottling up your anger or anxiety. Clearing the air helps a relationship to grow. But be aware of what is better left unsaid.

•     Treat Friends As Equals: In friendship there is no number one, no room for showing off how smart and successful you are, for envy, for feeling superior or inferior.

•     Trust your Friends: Make the effort to believe in the inherent goodness of your friends.
