We’ve revamped the etiquette on DoSayGive all month long. We shared how to be considerate texting and social media, NS the basics of being a gracious host and guesttips for t and mastering eloquence. This latest installment in our P’s, Q’s and What to Do series is about friendship. Most people don’t even realize that friendship is an etiquette, but it sure does! We teach these things to the girls who buy our school. etiquette e-course because these are traits that are learned much better at an early age: how to be a good friend and what to look for in a friend.

Remember, etiquette is about being considerate of those around us – that’s the heart of DoSayGive: being kind in everything we do, say and give. And that’s how a true friend should be. The following is elegant and thoughtful that embodies all this:

A good friend is kind.

Kindness should always be at the forefront of good friendship. Not jealousy, not constant mean-spirited sarcasm. If your friend isn’t kind, he’s not your friend.

A good friend is reliable.

It does not disclose the information you share with him as a secret. Nor gossip behind your back. In fact, he is always behind you!

A good friend is honest.

He’ll tell you (somehow!) that the dress doesn’t suit you.

A good friend listens.

He really wants to hear what you have to say. He wants to get to know you and therefore listens carefully to your words. He is an engaged listener and tries to understand your point of view even if he disagrees. Understands to give and receive speech – it’s not all about him.

A good friend is supportive.

He rejoices when you rejoice, grieves when you grieve. She remembers her birthday and comes to grandma’s funeral. Whether it’s the arrival of a new baby or a family emergency, she steps in to help in times of need. He intends to grow the friendship by showing up through good times and bad.

Also, a friend won’t resent your achievements or envy your gifts. Celebrate the person God created you and all your gifts. It lifts you up with words. He’s a promoter!

A good friend forgives.

He doesn’t hold grudges. He also forgives quickly and is quick to apologize.

A good friend respects boundaries.

He’s not clingy or needy. Nor is it threatened by your friendships with others. He never makes you feel guilty for not spending time with him.

A good friend is loyal.

It honors you when you are together and when you are not. Every season is dedicated to you. Seasons of joy and sorrow, and even seasons when life is full and you hardly see each other. A true friend is determined.
