Summary

A real friend is someone who doesn't judge or hold grudges against you for your mistakes. They understand that making a fool of yourself from time to time is a natural part of being human, and they don't view it as a reflection of your character or intelligence. Instead, they offer support, forgiveness, and a sense of perspective, reminding you that such moments are temporary and that they still value and care about you regardless.
