Begin by treating your friends as if they are the protagonists of their own stories. Respect their individual journeys and be a part of it in a positive way. In a novel, characters often have secrets and insecurities. Be a safe space for your friends to share their secrets, just like a confidant in a story. Also, like in a novel where characters bond over shared experiences, create shared memories with your friends. It could be as simple as cooking a meal together or going to a concert. These experiences will add depth and value to your friendship, just like the events in a novel add to the characters' relationships.
We can start by being more observant. Just as a novelist notices every detail about their characters, we should notice the little things about our friends. For example, their favorite coffee or the book they've been wanting to read. Then, we can surprise them with that coffee or buy them the book. Another way is to be a better storyteller in our friendship. Share interesting anecdotes like the plot twists in a novel, and listen to their stories with the same enthusiasm.
