A good friend will show and tell how much he or she appreciates what you do for him or her. This person will find a way to return favors.
3. He or she will not allow others to bad mouth or abuse you.
When others attempt to say negative things about you, this person will speak up with positive things to say. He or she doesn't want to upset you so the individual will try hard not to hurt you with words or unkind deeds.
4. This person will comfort you in good times and bad.
Your friend doesn't just call or come around when you are in a good mood, but when he or she detects you aren't feeling so well, the friend shows his or her love with a pot of soup or bags of remedies/food/supplies in hand.
5. The individual will reach out to you even when you push him or her away.
