Lauren L.

As a friend, I prioritize being there for others in their times of need. When someone I care about is going through something difficult, I make a conscious effort to stop what I am doing and be present for them. I understand the importance of active listening, so I not only acknowledge their feelings but also ask questions as I am genuinely concerned. For instance, I once supported a friend through her challenging divorce by providing emotional support while giving her a safe space to find herself again. Additionally, I believe in maintaining consistent communication with my friends. I make it a point to send them a message every day, starting with a good morning greeting, and aim to respond to their messages promptly. Lastly, I believe that a good friendship requires being a good listener but also knowing when to offer helpful advice without being judgmental or overbearing. Love and understanding are key elements that I strive to demonstrate in all my interactions. Overall, I take pride in being a loyal and supportive friend.
