Friendly communication, as many imagine, gives the opportunity to relax, to become yourself, not to be nervous and not to tense up. During it, you can feel free, not try to play a role.
All this is true, which is why it is valuable. But not everything is so clear-cut, so there is no need to rush to conclusions.
It is important to remember that friendship needs to be maintained, and this requires effort. It can only remain long-lasting with a certain amount of communication.
It will be as it should be if certain rules are followed during it.
Listen
This is a must. If a friend shares something, you need to show him respect and delve into what he is telling you.
You should ask clarifying questions, show your sincere interest in what touches him, what touches his soul. You should also remember something similar from your life, share your experience. The interaction in this case will be productive.
Do not give advice
This should be done with caution even when asked. If a friend has not shown such initiative, if he has not asked to help him with words, then you should not do this.
You shouldn't take responsibility for advising on something in very serious matters. Otherwise, you may end up guilty.
Being with friends
This is relevant during a meeting. Nowadays, everyone has smartphones, which are constantly taken out when there is a live communication.
You should put away gadgets and maintain a lively dialogue. In this case, no one will feel lonely, the relationship will be preserved.
Don't put your friends in an awkward position
This means that you shouldn't approach them with requests that they obviously won't be able to fulfill. A slow comrade shouldn't be forced to be fast, and you shouldn't ask a thrifty one to lend you a large sum of money.
You should also avoid making requests that are difficult to fulfill. In this case, friends will be forced to refuse and feel guilty about it.
These rules of communication with friends should always be followed. In this case, the relationship will last for years.
