Criteria for friends

It says that life is beautiful, and for a beautiful life as well as for an enjoyable or entertaining life, there are requirements. Family and friends are two important requirements for those. There is no way one can choose the family because it fully depends on fate. Humans have no control over it, but it's a different kind when it comes to friends. Humans have the power to choose their friends, even if they have to make friends with a mutual mindset. I must say that friendship must have mutual feelings; otherwise, it won't work well till the end. After having the mutual feeling, I can have some criteria for choosing a friend.

The criteria for choosing a friend can be different from person to person. It is ok to find some criteria in friends, but one needs to be careful because it's not like choosing any product from a store where we can get anything anyone wants. That's why I think mutual intention is necessary while making friends. We can be friendly to many people, and a very few can be our friends. And there are many people who do not fit the criteria to become friends, and we should understand it, but hurting others in this process is not advisable. Let me share my criteria for friends.

I used to be an introvert, and now I choose to be an introvert because I feel an introvert has many advantages compared to an extrovert, and in my case, I can be an extrovert whenever I need to take advantage of it. So I naturally prefer to have a friend with an introvert personality for various reasons, but it does not mean I have any issue having an extrovert friend. Why do I prefer introvert friends? The reason is very simple. Introverted people talk less, and I have this—this is something that means it is necessary. They don't talk nonsense, and their words carry value, and that's naturally effective. Even if they know any kind of my secrets, they won't share them with anyone. Additionally, I think such a friend will cost too much time of mine, and it will be the same for him also. Communication should be effective, not necessarily lengthy.

Having a good personality is very much necessary. He must be polite and respectful to others. And obviously, I will expect that he will have a good heart. He should be a man who keeps his word. It does not matter to me if he does any good work or not, but he should not do any evil work because I don't think the people who do evil work can be good friends. After all, their minds are evil. They just need a chance to reveal their true nature. In case of arrogance, I think there's just nothing wrong with being arrogant if he deserves to be arrogant.

In terms of academic qualifications and family background, I don't care too much, but most of the time, we end up having friends with similar backgrounds, and it's never because of having similar thoughts. Those are the simple criteria to become my friend. If I find one is not that type, at which time I will maintain the distance from the person without humiliating him.
