Answer: Yes, unfortunately I have experienced having a falling out with a close friend in the past. It was a difficult situation, but ultimately we were able to talk things out and reconcile our differences.
What do you think makes a good listener in a friendship?
Answer: A good listener is someone who is attentive, non-judgmental, and empathetic. They allow their friend to speak without interrupting, and they offer support and encouragement when needed.
Do you have any long-distance friendships?
Answer: Yes, I have a few friends who live in different parts of the country (and even in different countries altogether!). While it can be difficult to stay in touch from afar, we make an effort to call or video chat regularly.
Have you ever introduced two of your friends who ended up dating each other?
Answer: Yes, I have! It was actually a bit of a surprise, but I'm happy that two of my friends found love through their friendship.
How do you deal with jealousy in a friendship?
Answer: Jealousy can be a difficult emotion to deal with, especially in a friendship. I try to remind myself that everyone's journey is different, and just because my friend may be experiencing success or happiness in one area of their life doesn't mean that I won't also find my own success and happiness in due time.
What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned from a friendship?
Answer: One of the most important lessons I've learned from a friendship is the power of forgiveness. No one is perfect, and conflicts are bound to arise, but being able to forgive and move forward from those moments is crucial for maintaining a strong friendship.
Have you ever made a lifelong friend in a surprising way or place?
Answer: Yes, actually! One of my closest friends is someone I met while waiting in line at a coffee shop. We struck up a conversation and realized we had a lot in common, and now years later we're still great friends.
Are there any qualities or behaviors that you can’t tolerate in a friend?
Answer: Dishonesty and lack of loyalty are two qualities that I can’t tolerate in a friend. I also have little patience for people who are constantly negative or bring others down.
What’s the best way to support a friend going through a tough time?
Answer: The best way to support a friend going through a tough time is to simply be there for them. Offer a listening ear, words of encouragement, and practical help if needed. It's also important to not judge or criticize your friend's feelings or actions, but rather offer empathy and understanding.
Do you think it’s possible to have too many friends?
Answer: While it's certainly possible to have a large circle of acquaintances, I do think that having too many close friends can be overwhelming at times. It's important to invest time and energy into our friendships, and that can be difficult if we have too many people vying for our attention.
Have you ever had to end a friendship? What happened?
Answer: Yes, unfortunately there have been times when I've had to end a friendship due to toxic behavior or fundamental differences in values. It's never an easy decision, but sometimes it's necessary in order to protect our own emotional well-being.
How do you maintain long-distance friendships?
Answer: Maintaining long-distance friendships can be challenging, but staying in regular contact through phone calls, text messages, and video chats can help bridge the gap. It's also important to make an effort to see each other in person when possible, whether that means visiting each other or meeting up somewhere in between.
Do you think it’s necessary for friends to have similar political beliefs?
Answer: While it can certainly make for more agreeable conversations, I don't think it's necessary for friends to share the exact same political beliefs. In fact, having respectful and open-minded discussions about politics with friends who have different views can be a great opportunity to learn and grow from each other.
What’s a fun outing or activity you’ve done with your friends recently?
Answer: Recently, my friends and I went on a hiking and camping trip in the mountains. It was a great way to disconnect from technology and spend quality time together in nature.

What’s the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done with a friend?

Have you ever traveled with friends? What was the experience like?
Answer: Yes, I've traveled with friends before and it can be a really fun and rewarding experience! There's something special about exploring a new place with people you care about, and it often leads to bonding and inside jokes that last long after the trip is over.
How do you handle conflicts or disagreements with your friends?
Answer: When conflicts or disagreements arise with friends, I try to approach the situation with empathy and understanding. It's important to listen to each other's perspectives and feelings, and work towards finding a resolution that everyone can agree on.
Have you ever had a friend who let you down? How did you handle it?
