The Importance of Healthy Friendships

Healthy friendships are characterized by trust, respect, and mutual support. Friends should be people who we can be ourselves around, who accept us for who we are, and who we can count on to be there for us when we need them.

Friendships can also help us to grow and develop as individuals. They can challenge us to step outside of our comfort zones, try new things, and learn from our mistakes. Friends can also provide us with different perspectives on life and help us to see the world in new ways.
