Until you find for yourself someone that will sincerely tell you the truth not minding how you feel, you haven't made friends yet.

Friendship is an Amanah (trust). Be the best friend to your friend. The Prophet (SAW) said with regards to sincere friends:

“The believers (in their mutual support) are like a structure, parts of which support other parts” – & he interlaced his fingers. (Bukhari & Muslim).

On this Hadith, Imam An-Nawawi (RH) said:

This clearly refers to the great rights that the Muslims have over one another.

& urges Muslims to show compassion, kindness & support to one another in every spare of life so long as it isn't sin or disliked action.

Imam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (RH) said:

Chivalry (great nobility) is to overlook the errors of your brothers.

Support friends & be there for them.

Abu Zaa’idah said: al-Ahnaf wrote to a friend of his saying:

"To proceed: if you have a brother (in faith) who is agreeable with you, then you should appreciate him as you appreciate your hearing & your sight, for a brother who is agreeable is better than a son who is contrary.

Have you not heard what Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, said to Nuuh (peace be upon him) concerning his son:

“O Noah, indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was other than righteous”

[Huud 11:46].
