How Do You Make Your Friend Feel Special Over Text?
Besides sending them the lovely quotes in this list, here are a few things you can do over text to make your bestie feel genuinely cared for.
Mention a quality of theirs that you like. Remember not to speak about superficial things like their physical characteristics. Bring up personal characteristics or quirks like their sense of humor, loyalty, dependability, or thoughtfulness. These kinds of valuable messages for friends will make them feel loved and noticed.
Give them a compliment. Although funny compliments are great to receive, a kind and genuine remark can turn someone’s day around. There’s an art to giving compliments, and it’s based on two things—authenticity and specificity. When sending a complimentary message to a friend, don’t say things for the heck of it; be honest and talk about what you genuinely like about them.
Appreciate them for what they do. A true friend will stand by you through thick and thin. We’re sure that your bestie has experienced many incredible moments with you. It’s time to express your gratitude for your close friend and let them know why you’re grateful. The ‘why’ is crucial because it appreciates their actions rather than just saying ‘thank you.’
Write about what makes you two good together. Lastly, a touching message for your best friend should speak about all the great things that tie you together. It can be a highlight reel of your favorite memories and all the funny things that the two of you share.
