How to Determine Who Your True Friends Are

Video Transcript

"Hi, have you ever wondered how to determine who your true friends really are? Well I'm Doctor Felicia and I'd like to share a few tips with you on how to determine exactly that, who your true friends are. First, it's very difficult, especially if you're in a large group of friends where you have a very different range of personalities. Some of your friends may be goof offs or clowns, some of your friends may be very serious and intense, and some of your friends may just be the regular old average run of the mill friend. Which is all fine within themselves, but, in your light which when you're looking for a true friend, you want the friend that's really going to be there for you and give you some positive information when you need it, positive feedback, positive reinforcement, positive attention. So, I guess a good rule of thumb when you're looking for a true friend, and to determine who your true friends are is the ones that really stick with you when the going gets rough. That is, when you're in a tight spot and they're really there for you supportive, listening, trying to help you sort out for yourself what it is you might want to do. A true friend will also accept you for who you are and not try to make you into something else that's different. For instance, if you have a bad habit, they're going to accept you with that bad habit along with the rest of the habits instead of just yelling at you about it, or ridiculing you about it, or putting you down. So, the test of a true friend is one who is there for you, who is royal, who remains accepting of you no matter what our traits are, we all have our flaws. And then the other thing, of course, would be that they stick with you through the bad times, that's a true friend. This is very hard to differentiate, especially if you're in a large group of friends as the personalities begin to mesh over time. So, for you, it means for you to be very astute, very aware, watch your friends, realize and look back at who's really been there for you in your tight spots when things have gotten rough for you. Who's really been there? Those are your true friends. I do with you good luck, I hope these tips helped you. This is Doctor Felicia signing off. God Bless."
