Here are what my friends said.
"You are easy to talk to putting other first always. You give great advice, are a solver of issues and are supportive, generous caring and understanding. That's all I can think of right now."
"You listen well, support, encourage, aren't judgemental, are self-assured and low maintenance. You are also very organised, think and plan ahead, have good problem solving skills and are keen to learn."
"I'm sure there is more but here are some that come straight to mind. Reliable, honest, trustworthy, encouraging, motivating, articulate, good listener, straight forward, caring, focused"
As a lover or a friend, I like to affect people and help them to become a better them with the jewels that I have come to know.

It's about being real. People have big problems with friends in life. It's best to do ones best to not do what others do. Don't use and abuse people. A friendship is supposed to build not destroy.
