Video Transcript

"Hello. Have you struggled on how to choose a good friend? We all want a good friend. Well I'm Dr. Felicia and I'd like to share a few tips with you on how to choose a really good friend. First you want to watch and observe people around you. Obviously you're going to be familiar with the person if you're even considering being a friend, so you get the opportunity to see this person interact with others, see how they threat others, do they respect them, do they stay loyal to them or do they gossip and share all the private little information that they might have contributed or have collected across the years. Certainly if they talk about one person they; chances are they're going to talk about you too if you share things so you wouldn't want that in a friendship. But in a good friend you're looking for somebody who's loyal, has integrity. Somebody who can stand by you through thick and thin, and somebody who's really going to be there for you if the rough, if a situation gets going and gets rough. A good friend will be there for you no matter what and they make you feel good about yourself. So those are important attributes in a person. So you'll watch the people around you and see who it is that you're choosing to be a friend with, and see how they interact with others. Try to take a distance back and look at it from the outside so that you're actually watching the interaction, and see if they're good to that person, positive to the other people, respectful and building them up and making them feel good as well as being loyal. Those are important attributes for any friendship. So I do wish you good luck in searching for your good friend and I hope these tips helped you. This is Dr. Felicia signing out, god bless."
