Celebrate with your friends when they are excited about something. But do not be there just for the good times. We need friends, true friends who will stand by us in our hour of need. That, really is what being a friend means. To be there for your friend in his/her time of need. When your friend is upset about something, give them your full attention. Most of the time, what friends really need is a sympathetic ear, someone who understands their feelings.
