Communication is an important part of every friendship. Try to plan one night per week or every other week to have a phone call and talk about anything! Share what's going on in your life, talk about your common interests, or make plans to meet up. Even if you're both very busy, try to set aside time to talk or send a few text messages throughout the week. This will help make you feel close, even if you don't have time to see each other frequently. Reassure your friend that you'll always be there for them even if you don't talk as often as you used to. Whether you've always wanted to see the Grand Canyon or just want to try a new restaurant down the street, include your friend in your plans. Sharing new experiences together will give you memories and opinions to bond over. If you're looking for something fun and new to do together, try planning a road trip or cooking a new recipe. You could also sign up for classes to learn a new skill together, like scrapbooking, painting, or woodworking. Being a thoughtful friend can help to bring you closer to your friend. If you see something that you know they'll like, and you can afford it, buying it for them can show that you care. Remember that you don't need a reason to be kind or thoughtful to your friends. For example, if your friend has come down with a cold, you can bring them soup and cold medicine to help them feel better. For someone who likes to knit, you might get them a ball of yarn that you thought was a nice color, or a pair of knitting needles. If you want to help your friend but don't have a lot of money to spend, you can offer to watch their pets if they're going out of town, or run an errand for them that's out of their way. This will help to make their life easier, and you don't have to spend any money on it! Friends should be able to rely on and trust each other with almost anything. If you or your friend are having a hard time, it can be helpful to talk about what's going on. In many cases, you might be able to offer helpful advice to each other. Let your friend know that you're there for them, even in hard times. Keep in mind that you might not always have advice for your friend, but it's okay to just listen to them while they talk about what's going on. Sometimes, it's helpful to just have someone to talk to. If you know that a friend is going through a hard time, check in on them periodically to make sure they're okay, or make plans to spend time together to cheer them up. For example, you can organize a marathon of their favorite movie series, or get together for a game night! Maintain boundaries even in difficult times. For example, if your friend needs to borrow money and you're not comfortable giving them any, keep that boundary or else you may grow to resent them later on. Supporting your friend doesn't mean you have to fix things for them. Although it may be difficult, it's important to talk to your friend about things like fears, flaws, and insecurities. This will help you understand each other better than anyone else and form a strong relationship between the two of you. For example, if you're afraid of disappointing your friend and family, you can share this with your friend. They may tell you something that might help to make you feel better, or they might share a similar fear. If you're feeling insecure about your smile one day, you can tell your friend what you're feeling. They might be able to make you feel better about it and remind you that you're beautiful inside and out. Remember not to dwell on these issues, and never bring up your friend's fears or insecurities during a conflict. You and your friend share these things to bring you closer and you shouldn't use their fears or insecurities against them.
