Character influences your friendships

Friendship needs something more than affinity. It also needs patience, joy, tact, the capacity to forgive, and knowing how to listen. Your character makes loving easier or harder. That is why working on yourself is not individualistic: it also improves how you can be a friend. Working on your character is not a selfish project. Being more patient, cheerful, and capable of listening enables you to love better and makes it easier for others to trust you.
