Who is a real friend?

Chris you don't say how old you are but I used to feel like this in my teens and early twenties. I matured much faster than my "Friends" and they did not hold the same ideals as I did. I used to get really frustrated by so called friends not treating me in the same way that I would treat them. As I have got older I have made a few really good friends. This is preferable to many shallow friendships.\n\nA good friend sticks by you no matter what, through the good and the bad. They will be honest with you, without being offensive, will listen, make you laugh, maybe make you cry too if they are hurting. A true friend will make you feel good inside, love and accept you for who you are and when you come away after being with them you feel great. I also find my friends bring out different aspects of my personality but each is treasured in their own right.\n\nAs you get older and become more confident in your skin you also begin to care less about whether people like you or not....they can like you or leave you.  \n\nHang in in there, treat people as you would like to be treated and in time you will make real, true, loyal friends and yes you will know when you have them.

What do you want to do? How about the person that told you whatever what said? Was the info. true or not? Do you believe in your friend?\nOne thing I do know from experience is that a true friend will never two face you. My sister, mom, brother, dad true friends have said things about me but in real concern. Sometimes it pisses me off but they have the right to love me. And if someone came to me and repeat their private conversation to make it gossip I would dump their butt, because i do trust "MY" judgment for a friend. So where do you stand with these friends.

That depends on who and what you call friends.  A true friend has to start with being one yourself. A true friend will never leave you and will always be there through the good and the bad. :)

A true friend would help you with a lot of things and be with you everytime you need help. If you go to them when you have problems and they give good advice, then they are a good friend.\n\nTry seeing how your friend acts with other people. If she acts the same way she acts around you, then she is probably being herself.

friends, friendship-(my personal definition) someone you trust with your life... someone who is there when you need a helping hand... someone who will listen to you when you need a ear... someone you know alot about\n\nacquaintance- someone who exploits your good nature.... someone you meet, and engage in casual conversation with... someone you recognize, but don't really know

Someone I can trust with my life, secrets and woes.\n\nA friend is some who is always there for you at any time of the day or night.\n\nThey laugh with you, when things are good. \n\nLet you cry on their shoulder when your down or sad, and even cry with you when things are really bad. \n\nAnd expect NOTHING but your friendship and loyalty in return.\n\nBut of course you would be there in an instant when they needed you!

I would say the average person has three to four true friends who we keep in contact with all the time. I think we have other friends who we see on different occasions. That number can be limitless.

Guapacita is right on the money. A true friend is someone you can trust completely and totally. A person is lucky to have as many as one,although it's possible to have a lot of lesser friends.

In my opinion a friend or at least a good friend is someone who you can talk to and understands you and will always be there for you no matter what happens. That is my basic idea of what a good friend. As for a friend it really all depends it would be some one you could talk to but couldn't really talk about anything to.

The way to know when you have a real friend is when you can be completely honest with them and still be friends. Just tell your friend at a certain time, she has to leave. If she takes to9 heart and stops talking to you, she wasn't that good of a friend in the first place.

The real meaning of friendship is to know when you need to support your friend. When you call at 2am in the morning to break down to your buddy about getting dumped - All you want is a shoulder to cry on, and your friend is there.\n\nThe real meaning of friendship is to know when your buddy needs help. You are in jail and you need bail (and you don't want your parents to find out) - the best friend comes to help you.\n\nThe real meaning of friendship is to be there for your friend who needs companionship. You do it not because you have to, but because you want to. You sit down, lend an ear, lend a hand - and be the friend that he or she needs. That is the real meaning of friendship.
