Have you been at the giving and receiving end of the excuse, “Sorry sweetie, I was caught up with work.” This is what often happens amongst friends. Everyone is so busy in their lives that none has the time to show love and affection. In the long run, money is not going to be your companion. In times of loneliness, only friends can help. Always show them you love them and here’s how.
1. Always communicate and stay in touch
It could be 2 min or 20 min doesn’t matter, but talk to your close friends at least once in 2 days. Keep them updated about your life’s happenings and stay updated with theirs.
2. Meet regularly
The comfort and satisfaction in meeting friends is totally different from chatting via texts, social media etc. Make it a point to meet for outings, movies dinners, and shopping and have fun.
3. Remember important stuff
Always remember important stuff and moments about friends. By this I just don’t mean birthdays and anniversaries but things like their first job, first successful moment, favorite color, food item, song, artist, etc.
4. Write a verse about them
Make your friends feel special by writing a poem, a blog about them showing what makes them so good and why you would always want them as a friend.
5. Gift them without occasions
A gift always brings a smile. Buy your friends something, take her for a spa, gift him tickets to a game just randomly. This definitely shows your care and your love.
6. Never lie
A lie, 99 out of 100 times is caught. Don’t ever lie to your friends, however harsh or ugly the truth might be. Handle it carefully and bring it out sensitively but always say the truth.
7. Do the simple and small things
Small things always bring big smiles. Acknowledging, appreciating, saying a Thank you or a miss you always helps. Never let friends enter the zone of loneliness. Stay over with him/her or take him/her out for a day if need be.
8. Listen to them and don’t take them for granted
Your friend might be a shy type but listen attentively to whatever little he/she says. It’s very important to them that someone wants to know their story. Also ask for his/her advice and opinion, don’t just assume things and take them for granted.
9. Pop up as a surprise
Surprise him/her with a sudden appearance, or sudden call and it’ll surely make them happy.
10. Don’t hesitate
In rough times and sad circumstances don’t hesitate to say a sorry or discuss the topic. Closure is essential. It shows you care and it affects you.
