Get the friend of stevemug. A true friend is someone you can rely on and who will be there for you. They can hold your deepest and darkest secrets and won't spread them around. But more than that, they aren't only there when you are at your lowest but also your best. When something good happens to you, they will be your hype man and be excited about you. They also feel the same way, so when something happens to them, they will tell you so you can hype them up. They don't only make you initiate some conversations or talk to you when they are struggling or need assistance.
