How to be a true friend 如何做个真正的朋友

 

Speak the truth (even if it hurts).

说实话（哪怕有点伤人）。

 

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.——Oscar Wilde

 

Have you ever watched a friend damage her self-esteem by staying in an emotionally abusive relationship?

 

I have, and it hurts more than words can express. Confronting a person about an inconvenient¹ truth isn't easy, but sometimes it needs to be done.

 

If you have something to say and can't find the nerves to do it, ask yourself, "How would I feel if it was me making a very bad decision and my friend said nothing about it?"

 

While speaking out doesn't guarantee you'll change their mind, staying silent does guarantee you'll regret not speaking up sooner.
