who is a true friend ?????
87746
We all have friends; men friends, women friends, boy friends, girl friends, even children friends. Whether we are a man or a woman we have friends that we chat with and interact with everyday of out lives; yet how many of the people we call friends are true friends and what is a true friend? That is something that I believe is different for everyone, it is a personal observation and need. We as human beings all have different needs and wants; no two of us is alike in every way, therefore we all see things in different ways. Still some basic similarities for true friendships can’t be over looked. \n\nLet’s look at things that I believe to be similar for all people. First, you need someone you can share your deepest thoughts and feelings with, someone whom you trust explicitly, it does not matter where you meet them or how long you have known them; there is something between you that says, “I trust this person and I want to share everything with this person.” I know there are many doubters reading this yet this is true and I will give you an example. A few months ago, I met just such a person we met online. Being a divorced single woman, I had lost much of my faith in human kind in general and that was even truer of men; my ex-husband had squelched all that I believed in and even after almost 3 years I could not really trust men, even though I tried, the trust just was not there. I belong to a divorce support group on the internet and through that group; I met a man who struck me as someone I could trust. I cannot explain just why I thought I could trust him, yet I did. We talked on line for months and as we did it became even clearer to me that I could and would learn to trust him. I was vacillating back and forth whether to move back to my home in Florida, I really wanted to come back home yet I was afraid that I would not find a job and was not real sure what to do. My newfound friend kept telling me it was right that it was something I should do because he knew by what I was saying that I was not happy living in Ohio. When my newfound friend offered to come and help me make the move, still I wasn’t sure. The next thing I know this man had made his plane reservations and I was moving. I had a very hard time believing that he was really coming, yet I trusted him. Still driving to the airport the morning of the move I was still wondering if he would be there, he was there and we met for the first time in person, I knew then he was a true friend. It still wasn’t until we actually started our drive from Ohio to Florida that I realized how much of a true friend he was. He knew when something was bothering me almost before I did and like wise, I could tell when something was bothering him. We talked for the entire trip, which made the trip very enjoyable, and very soul searching. I truly feel I have found at least one true friend. Yet should I stop there, emphatically no. He is a male friend, for women there are things that we don’t like to talk about with our male friends no matter how close they are and the same holds true for men, they have issues that they would prefer not to share with a woman. We need friends of both sexes and I do have some fairly close and true female friends. \n\nThis is only an example of what I have encountered. Through the years, friends have come and gone yet true friends are yours forever. Now let’s look for more signs you have found a true friend. \n\nYou are stranded with a broken down car, it’s 3 in the morning, you know that all of your “friends” are sleeping and have to go to work in a few hours; who do you call? You think about all your “friends” and mentally check off the list the “friends” that you would not call to come to your rescue. Finally, you find that one person you think will be of assistance and you call their number and wait for them to answer. When their ringing phone finally wakes them out of that sound sleep what is their reaction? A “true friend

A true friend is someone that's down for you and your down for them in anything, someone you can tell anything to without worrying about them judging you. A true friend is someone you can talk about other people to without it getting out to others(TRUST).

A real mathematical equation is impossible.  \nWhat about this?\n\nA true friend:\n\nIs with you in times of trouble and joy\nEncourages you to do your best\nLifts you up when you are down\nCarries you on her shoulder if you can't walk\nWalks by your side when you can walk\nand shares your tears and laughter.\nBut before you search for a true friend\nBe a true friend first.

the person with the most ''friends'' is probably ''Tom''. He works for them and is automatically EVERYONE'S first ''friend''♥

Friendship is loyal, unconditionally.  A friend will bail you out of jail, a true loyal friend will be with you patting you on the back saying...Man we screwed up !

True friends are those who never let you down and are there for you (even by email) when you need them, and if they can't they look for a way to make it up to you.. They make you smile, make you cry, and make you angry when they tell you the awful truth that you don't want to hear... They save you when you need it (and when they can) and they support you, even if they sometimes don't understand you... THey let you go and crash when you're stubborn about sdomething that's not right, but they're always there to pick you up and heal you after that crash... True friends are the most important people after your family (and in some cases after your couple)... \n\nThe best way to get one is by doing all the things above with someone that is just your plain friend.. and he/she'll do the same for you eventually... ;)

a good friend...HONESTY is number one. other things fall into play behind this one. if a friend isn't honest...what good is the friendship? IS there even a friendship? all lies get found out in time. actually i can relate to this, as someone i am friends with lied to me several times, trying to hide something. i found out almost immediately each time...and left. however, God didn't want me gone long. so...i'm her friend again. you know who she is, tom. \n\nwhen should a friend butt out? well, it's been my experience that my friends will literally tell me when they don't want me to know something. that's when i butt out. that's when you just pray for them and be there for them.

Well in my opinion a real true friend is someone that you can go to with anything and someone that is always there for you no matter what.  Yes, I believe that you can have more than one real true friend.  If you are married I would hope that your spouse would be a true friend you know with a vow of for better or worse.

Anyone can stand by you when you are right...\nbut a real friend stands by you when you're wrong.\n\nA simple friend identifies himself when he calls...\na real friend dosen't have to.\n\nA simple friend opens a conversation with a\nfull news bulletin on his life...\na real friend says "Whats new with you?"\n\nA simple friend thinks the problems you whine about are new...\nA real friend says\n"You've whined about the same thing for years,\nget off your duff and do something about it!!\n\nA simple friend had never seen you cry...\na real friend has soggy shoulders from your tears.\n\nA simple friend dosen't know your parents first names...\na real friend has their number in his address book.\n\nA simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party...\na real friend comes early to help cook,\nand stays late to help clean.\n\nA simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed...\na real friend asks why you took so long to call?\n\nA simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems...\na real friend seeks to help you with your problems.\n\nA simple friend wonders about your romantic history...\na real friend could black mail you with it,\nbut of course would not!!\n\nA simple friend acts like a guest when visiting...\na real friend helps himself.\n\nA simple friend thinks the friendship is over after you have an arguement...\na real friend knows it is not a friendship till you had a fight.\n\nA simple friend expects you to be there for them...\na real friend expects to always be there for you!!\n\n\n...  :-)

Unfortunately the only way to know if someone is a true genuine friend is time, be protective of yourself, and keep private things to you and the ones you KNOW you can trust, Those who are less genuine are masters at deception and is why many get hurt by trusting too soon. So by knowing this maybe you can keep your self safe from this more often.

A true friend is someone who is there for you when he'd rather be anywhere else.\n  \nA friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.

No defintly not a friend is someone who understand you and is there for you no true friend would resort to emotional blackmail to get what they want from you and if he truely loved you he would want you to be happy not put his happiness in front of yours

THERE IS NO WAY BECAUSE TO HAVE A TRUE FRIENDSHIP \nYOU HAVE TO BE TRUTHFUL AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHO IS BEING TRUTHFUL ON THE NET

A friend is someone that comes back, and that you come back to. If something happens that makes one of you not EVER go back, then you are not true friends.
