I like people who are intelligent and I always enjoy someone with a good sense of humor . What I look for first , how ever , is a friend who is reliable . I need to be able to rely on my friends to provide me with companionship , to support me to encourage me.
I depend on my friends for companionship . If I want to see a movie or go to a concert , of course I ask some friends to accompany me . If I feed sad or lonely , I can count on my friends to spend some time with me . I f I feel happy , I can invite all my friends to party . I know they will come over to have a good time with me .
When I am having troubles , I turn to my friends for support . If I fail an exam , or have a fight with someone , I call up a friend . I rely on my friends to be willing to talk to me and help me solve my problems . I expect my friends to be there when I need them , and I do the same for them .

They talk to my and give me a confidence I need to try new and difficult things. I know I can count on them to give me encouragement when I need it .
