Friends make life enjoyable and sweet. But it happens that we have both good and bad friends. Despite the many good friends we have, there must be that one best friend.

Here are 7 qualities your best friend should have;

1. Good listener

We need people who can listen to us and not just us to listen to them. Your best friend must be one who listens to everything you have to say no matter how 'stupid' they may be. 

2. Funny

Life needs to be fun. Finding a funny person with a good sense of humour for a best friend is one of the best things in life.

3. Caring

We all need to be cared for hence whoever you consider your best friend should be one who cares about your feelings and needs; one who puts his/herself on your shoes whenever you are down.

4. Trustworthy

Just like trust is critical in a love relationship, so it is to friendship. Your best friend should be one who you can trust and can trust you. 

5. Forgiving and forgetting

A good friend forgives but a best friend forgives and forgets. Do not confuse the two. 

6. Helpful

Your best friend should be one who can help you in times of hardships. 

One who isn't so much into her/himself and runs fast to help you when in need.

7. Always there when you need them

Your best friend should be one who doesn't hesitate to be with you when you need them. 

He/she is available any time you need someone around.
