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:

9. We learn to celebrate with people during their moments of joy and success.

It takes courage to be happy for someone else and take part in their reasons for celebration. Thanks to our friends, it's easier done than said!

10. We learn to be our real, goofy selves despite our innate flaws and inhibitions.
