A survey asked participants to write down traits they would like and not like a friend to have.In the best of friendships, we gain support, care, and a lent hand by someone who understands us, leading to an empirically proven more satisfied life. Yet, according to the U.S. Surgeon General’s 2023 advisory, we are in aepidemic, despite largely living in densely populated cities with vast opportunity to connect.
The studies found that the most desirable broad category traits were being honest, ethical, pleasant, and followed very closely by available. The most undesirable category was being dishonest, and, more specifically, being two-faced, a hypocrite and exploitative were listed as the worst overall traits.
Further, older participants rated other traits highly, preferring smart, available and discreet as desirable traits. Perhaps, the researchers note, that as people grow older, they become more selective with what traits they would prefer to have in a friend.
