What qualities do you value most in a friend? Why are these qualities important to you?

Here are some qualities I values most in many of my friends;

1. Caring, 2. Love, 3. Honesty 4. Respect 5. Acceptance 6. Trustworthiness etc

The reason why these qualities are important to me is that, it add more value to my life and even to the society which I belong.

In terms of caring, friends help me celebrate good times and also provide help during bad times, this serve as caring to me.

In terms of love, a good friends are important to my mental health and to my level of life depending on the nature of love between me and my friends. Friendship is a privilege to love and to care, to learn about each other, and to open up to the full experience of life.

In terms of honesty, honesty shows that one has confidence in oneself and also ones friendship. This also create trust between me and my friends even if I am afraid to tell the truth, I must believe in friendship. This is important because when I am honest with my friends, it shows that I can rely trust and open up completely to them.

In terms of respect, we avoid treating each other in rude and disrespectful ways, e.g., we do not engage in name calling, and do not insult each other.

Likewise acceptance, we both acceptance each other opinion, and agree to each other opinion as a friend.
All these qualities are important me as a good friend of mine.

Have you ever had a disagreement or conflict with a friend? How did you handle it, and what did you learn from the experience?

Yeah, in every friendship there's always a disagreement which is always lesson to those who are ready to learn from their past mistakes .
In terms of handling it, because of the trust and honest we both have , it was sometime easy to recover the friendship back to it's normal place and also we both apologize to each other and accepted our mistakes and move further.
I learnt that in every situation there is always an end to it, only if u are ready to accept your mistake and forget about your achievement even who you are, you can still make things happen to it normal place.
