Friends. They're the ones we grow up with. The ones who know us better than we know ourselves. The ones who are a constant reminder of some of the best memories we've made in life. The ones who shape us into awesome people. They've seen us at our worst and have known us at our best. We learn way more than we can imagine from them. And this learning only helps us become better individuals. It's safe to say that without them our lives wouldn't be the same. In fact, we wouldn't be same. Here are 22 ways in which our friends effortlessly make us better people:

1. We learn to accept people for who they are and not excessively judge everyone.

Or make a fuss about those that we don't gel well with, like their silly partners!

2. We learn to forgive and forget innocent mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes. If we didn't forgive our friends then we probably wouldn't have any left!
