A real friend won’t flatter. They’ll correct you gently, because honesty > approval in real friendship.
Psychology says attention is affection. Real friends remember your favorite snack, weird fears, or random interview day.
Real friends don’t vibe-check your mood. Sad, messy, chaotic—you’re still loved without needing to perform.
Psychologically speaking, jealousy fades where love is real. A real friend claps when it’s your spotlight.
They don’t rush to advise. They sit with your silence. That’s emotional safety—gold in friendships.
True friends don’t guilt-trip. Psychology says healthy friendships accept "no" without needing a reason or explanation.
Real friends protect your name when you’re not around. Loyalty behind closed doors speaks loudest.
They grow with you, not against you. Psychology says we unconsciously match energy—real ones rise together.
