It takes courage to be a real friend. Trust is the foundation of any strong friendship. Trusting someone with your emotions, secrets, and innermost thoughts takes courage. Trusting a friend means risking disappointment, betrayal, or exploiting your vulnerabilities. Genuine friendship requires both parties to demonstrate trustworthiness and integrity; it takes courage to place your trust in someone and be trustworthy in return.

Addressing sensitive topics, expressing concerns, or giving honest feedback takes courage. True friends understand that these conversations are motivated by love and a desire to see each other become the best versions of themselves.
