5. Your friend is supportive of your goals and dreams.
H – Support for personal growth and ambitions is a key sign of a healthy friendship.
6. Your friend gets jealous when you are talking to other people.
U – Jealousy that interferes with normal interactions indicates insecurity and unhealthy attachment.

16. Your friend is honest with you.

17. Your friend ignores you and gives you the “silent treatment” when they get mad.
U – Using silence as punishment is emotionally abusive and avoids conflict resolution.
