Question: What is one quality you value in a friend?

“A quality I value is trustworthiness because it shows that they support and respect me. When a friend can help encourage and stand up for me, they make me feel appreciated. When someone isn’t trustworthy to a friend, they risk losing them. The friend would always feel betrayed and backstabbed. If your friend isn’t trustworthy, it could get your feelings, or theirs, hurt. I once gave my friend a lot of money to borrow, and they paid me back the next day. When another one of my friends asked to borrow some of my art supplies, they never gave it back, and kept pushing back on time. They constantly tried to tell me that I was just being selfish and not sharing, even when I had waited almost a month for the same set of supplies. This broke the trust between us.”
