SELF STUDY

MY BEST FRIEND

He`s younger than me but only for a few months so we are nearly equal. We grew together from childhood. I understand him and he understands me that`s what they call friendship. He`s trustworthy so that I can tell him all my secrets and share painful thoughts, heartaches. He listens me carefully and comforts, gives motivation. And I do same. He`s unique character. He`s shy, introverted, quit, weak-willed, apathetic, irresolute, biased but at the same time he`s warm, kind, thoughtful, reliable, loyal, sincere, tolerant, frank, considerate. Sometimes we don’t know how much time we spent by talking in a day. We can talk about any subject, any problem, any anything. I respect him much.
