Everyone has a number of

personal knowledge or information about someone or something
acquaintances
, but no one has many friends, for true
friendship
 is not common, and there are many people who seem to be incapable of it. In my point of view, for a
friendship
 to be close and lasting, both the friends must have some very special qualities like unselfishness, constancy and
trust
. In
this
 essay, I will explore some of the qualities of a good
friend
 and how to become a good fellow.

first
 quality. A person who is concerned only with his or her own interests and feelings cannot be a true

needed
trust

a trust
! There must be mutual
trust
 between friends so that each can feel safe when telling their secrets. There are people who cannot keep a secret, will never keep a
