Maintaining Friendship Through Life Changes
1. Have a variety of interests.
The more interests you have, the more opportunity you have to connect with others. If you are an interesting person, your friends will want to know more about you and help support you in your endeavours.

2.Have plenty of friends.
Having only one friend can put a lot of burden on the relationship. You don’t want someone to feel smothered or like you’re a burden.

3.Communicate openly.
Don’t feel like there needs to be a reciprocity. Some people take longer to open up than others. Communicate as openly as you feel comfortable.

4.Listen and share equally.
Being a good friend means being able to read the situation and anticipate what your friend needs even though she may not know herself. This means being attentive and listening without judgement.

5.Be dependable and honest.
Friends will appreciate that they can count on you to hear the truth and that you will be there for them when you say you will.
