Do We Know How To Be a Good Friend

When you call your friends, family or maybe just someone to talk, is it to see how they are doing? Or do you have a hidden agenda, which is to talk about you. Take time to see if you are doing this. When you call people take note, why are you callling them. Are you calling them because you have relationship troubles, a bad day or need to vent for some reason. Do you really want to know how they are doing. Truly concerned? Someone very wise once told me, people call to talk about themselves. Very rarely do they call to see how you are doing. Since then I've taken notice and he was absolutely right. So I make it a conscious effort to call to see how the people i call are doing. A relationship of any sort is give and take. Not take take take. Thats why so many people say it is so hard to find a good friend. Just a thought xo barb
