Listen to them

Sometimes it is not about talking or discussing things, there are times when your friend needs you and just wants to rant about his life and whatsay over, be there for him/her to listen.

Plan Trips together

Nothing is better than a trip with your friends, they are the best, just best !! If your friend is one of them who needs a little push to do things they love, take the charge, make plans, and go on a trip you were waiting for so long. Just let them know they’ve been wanting to take those roads.

FaceTime with them

Let’s face it, texting is easy, calling is good but if you live far, you definitely need to see your friend’s faces and tell them how much you miss them and what you both could have done if you were in the same city. Make fun of their silly faces while video calling, also video calls really removes a lot of weirdness that can occur when years pass without in-person hangouts.

Make a big fuss over their birthday/promotion

It’s your friend’s birthday and of course, they don’t want a fuss made but you know what they’re just lying. Maybe they really don’t need a big party but they obviously want a party. Surprise them on their big days, take them out for dinner or something, let them feel special. 

Cultivate the inside joke

Everyone loves having insides jokes, which can only be understood among friends, it’s more like a code language you have. It’s one of the ways of communicating with your besties in your own verbal Shortland and sharing few giggles together. When you’re at a bar and hear something that makes you lock eyes with your friends and exchanges those places that only mean, ‘we will talk about this later’.
