Real friendship does not mean you always have to be together. It maybe tempting to have a fun person all to your self, and feel threatened when your friends spends time with others. If you are afraid to let your friends out of your sight, you are probably afraid of losing them. Good friendship will endure time spent apart. You and your friends may learn to appreciate each other even more.

1. FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN GIVE TO A FRIEND, NOT WHAT YOU CAN GET OUT OF A FRIENDSHIP.

If being happy is your only motive for wanting someone to be your friend, then you are not being a real friend. Don't get caught up in keeping tab's on who has given most in the friendship. Give to your friends regardless of how much they give to you.
