How to be a true friend 如何做个真正的朋友

Be vulnerable.

敞开心扉。

I found that the more truthful and vulnerable I was, the more empowering it was for me. ——Alanis Morissette

我发现我越诚实越坦诚,就会获得越多的能量。——艾拉妮丝·莫莉塞特

Hiding your flaws might be appropriate in a job interview, but it's not something you should do in a conversation with a friend you trust.

工作面试的时候隐藏锋芒也许比较合适,但和自己信赖的朋友聊天时就没必要这样做了。

Never hesitate to speak your thoughts and feelings in their raw and unfiltered form. Who knows?

别顾虑太多,不说出自己真实的想法和感受,或是不假思索的言语。这样做了又如何呢?

They might open up and disclose a surprising secret in return.

也许会打开彼此的心扉,你也会获知对方的一个秘密。

Full disclosure will strengthen your friendship and make you both feel at ease in each other's company.

畅所欲言能巩固你们的友情,还会让彼此都觉得对方的陪伴十分舒服。
