真正的朋友-诚实真诚

Honesty/Sincerity

 

诚实真诚

 

"We are all travellers in the wilderness¹ of this world,and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend." – Robert LouisStevenson

 

If you upset an acquaintance by saying or doing something unpleasant, they'll likely just pretend it never happened and then bitch about you to everyone else behind your back.

 

 

A true friend will call you on your behaviour and let you know that it was hurtful/upsetting/offensive because your relationshipis important to them and they want to ensure that all snags are worked through.

 

An acquaintance will pretend that everything's okayand then whines² about you to anyone who'll listen doesn't care about ensuring that everything's okay.

 

 

You're replaceable to them, and if they don't smooth things out with you, they can just hang out with somebody else from now on.
