The way you can recognize the sign of a good friend is by observing the actions they take, big and small, that show they care. Some common signs of a good friend include: • someone who will support you no matter what • someone you can trust and who will not judge you • someone who will not put you down or deliberately hurt your feelings • someone who is kind and has respect for you • someone who will love you because they choose to, not because they feel they have to show someone whose company you enjoy
