10. You don’t feel like you always have to reciprocate
你觉得自己不用总想着回报
A good friendship doesn’t come with a balance sheet. While you should always try to give as good as you get from your friends, that doesn’t mean you or they should feel obligated every single time. The point of a friendship is to be there as much as you can, when you can, to the fullest extent you can. Sometimes that means Jim picks up the beer, while you bring the pretzels. Sometimes Josh throws the party and you pitch in with the cleanup. Sooner or later in a good friendship, the books will balance naturally and intuitively, without either side having to do anything except be themselves.
好的友谊并不需要资产负债表。虽然说朋友对你怎么好，你就应该对他们怎么好，但这也不是说你或他们每次都要那样做。友谊的一大要点就是当可以的时候，尽可能地地付出。有时意味着吉姆拿啤酒，而你带来椒盐脆饼。有时乔希开派对，而你负责打扫。在好的友谊中，这迟早会自然地达到平衡，除了做好自己，不需要做任何事情。
