3. Outstanding friends are genuinely happy for you when you have great news to share.
We've all probably had that moment where we're super excited about something, and we tell a friend, only to hear a less-than-thrilled response. Pretty deflating, isn't it? Or we might have friends who we downright worry telling them about something in our lives because we know they'll be upset about it. Now, I don't know about you, but I want to be the kind of person who is seriously excited about good news for anyone in my life. We all know how good it feels to be around this type of person that is genuinely happy for you. Being this way not only brings more good things into your own life, but it's an absolutely beautiful quality to embody.
