Is it normal that i like to be by my friends side?

As much as I acted like a dickhead to my friend in real life, I found myself to being a caring person to my friend, I decided to be on her side if anything bad happens, I see myself hugging her and comforting her. I did this because I wanted to show people that I have a caring personality and someone who is kind, not someone who talks badly about others and cares about myself. ( I was guilty of this
and I do regret being a narcissistic person in the past ). I hugged her and she hugs me back tightly.
