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 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.

A true friend is someone who stands by your side through everything. A true friend is someone who remains your friend when they get a new boy/girl friend. A true friend is someone who not only cries on your shoulder, but let's you cry on theirs. A true friend is one you can tell anything to and never worry about them broadcasting everything to anyone who wants to hear it. A true friend is someone who never turns their back on you. A true friend is someone who is always there. A true friend doesn't abandon you for anyone else. A true friend loves you for who you are, and not for any other reason.\n\nHow do you know whether or not a person is a true friend? Violations of the statements above. \n\nHow do you know whether or not someone is being themselves? Observe how they act around other people, family, other friends, do they act the same way around you?

Understanding, sharing problems, & the most important trust each other. Without trusting each other, the chain of true friendship will not be formed. ;-)

Hi there,\n\nIf you want a genuine friend who is truthful, plain minded and straight forward, I suggest that you must also reciprocate in the same way. But, sometimes, even if we are truthful, plain minded and straight forward, the other person may not reciprocate in the same kind. It depends upon one's personality. So, I suggest you to choose friends wisely so that you don't have to feel bad later.\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

The healthiest friendships are selected and maintained based on criteria that matches your beliefs and lifestyle.\n\nYour friends should not exist just to receive benefits from you. Obviously, situations are rarely this clearcut. However, you may wish to deemphasize this friendship and put more effort into mutually rewarding friendships.

Yeah you will find a new best friend, a true honest to god friend is the type that will be there for you in happiest moments to your darkest times. And if this Brittany doesn't want to be your friend anymore, it's her loss. There is many people in this world that would love to be able to have you as a friend.

Now come on, do you really have like 50 male friends and like 30 female friends? That's hard to believe. Do you know the definition of a friend? A real friend?\n\nThis word was actually harder to define than I thought it would be. To get started, I checked the dictionary that stated a friend is "a person who knows and likes another, a person who favours and supports and a person who belongs to the same side or group."\n\nBy those definitions I have hundreds, maybe thousands, of friends, but I truly believe it goes beyond these definitions. A friend must do much more than like you. To me, a friend is someone who knows all about you and likes you anyway. Being a friend means more than recognizing that no one is perfect, it means accepting it.\n\nI, like most people, have many flaws. My true friends not only tolerate these weaknesses but also love me because of them. They either help me see them myself without dwelling on them or they even help me to overcome some of these weaknesses. A friend is someone who doesn't ask you to change but helps you to grow.\n\nThe most important quality a friend can demonstrate is loyalty. This means standing by you when the going gets a little rough, not just in the good times. It means standing up for you at all times, not letting others demean you in any way, and never taking advantage of you or treating you badly.\n\nBeing supportive is yet another important quality in a friendship. This means cheering for you when things go your way, and being there during the bad times. Good friends allow you to make mistakes that you can learn from and forgive you for them. Loyalty, support, honesty and acceptance are so important to me that I would rather have 5 friends that fit my definition as opposed to 1000 "friends" that fit the dictionary definition.\n\nUnlike family, we choose our friends. If your "friends" aren't all of the things that are important to you, then you should ask yourself why you are calling them a friend.\n\nMaybe one of the 30 females who like to be more than a friend. Good luck hun

True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare.\nFalse friends are like autumn, leaves found everywhere!\n\nI have 5 friends that I know will be there till the end.  I believe 2 of them are my soul mates.  I have known 4 of them for 20 years plus, and the other 11 years.  We have had our ups n downs, but true friends can work through the downs.  Apart from my kids these 5 ppl are the most precious things I have in my life.  I will always carry them in my heart, no matter what happens.  They have helped me to stay alive in difficult times and for that I am forever grateful and I am truely a richer person for knowing them all!

you can only get a true friend if the person you befriend is a person that wants to be a friend.   in other words, it's not something you can do, it's something you get.  it does help to be a true friend to the one you want to be true to you.   that will prove to them that you value them and thus they will in time, return that value to you ..... good luck and i'll be ya 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 !

Truth is, we never really know. Its a bit of elimination process,really.\n\nAs time goes on, you learn that the people in your life that stay there are the people that suit you, make you feel comfortable and are supportive. That means that super-close friends right now dont necessarily mean that theyll be around later.\n\nIm still struggling to get through this natural part of life as well. If you are too, i wish you luck ! Be nice to everyone though, dont burn bridges down.

treu friendship i believe is like a marriage. you have to work at it all the time. and both parties should be involved. not a one way street .and you should always agree that whatever is brought in2 the relationship. secrets etc should stay in it.........\n\nfrom someone who had a very bad experience with what i thought was "true friendship"

There are many categories of friends first off.\n\nAcquaintance: Someone that you like and say 'Hi" to.  You will have hundreds of these in a lifetime but it never really goes to the next level of friendship.\n\nFriends: You look more into their character, and if you would trust them in your home.  You can trust them to make good decisions.  their is mutual trust and respect.\n\nGood friends: You feel comfortable lending them something important or of value, you encourage each other to do positive things (go to school, follow rules) and discourage each other from negative choices.  You help keep each other out of trouble plus all the characteristics of a "friend" above.\n\nBest friends: All the above plus: Share many interests, demonstrate honesty and integrity. You highly trust each other and keep each other's best intersts at hand.  You usually only have a handful of these.\n\nRomantic friends: Exceptionally trusted people.  You could trust your life to them.  You know they will always do the right thing.  Love may begin here (I didn't say anythying about sex).  \n\nExclusive/Engaged Romantic couple: All the above categories fit for a long period of time, you both want to make a life long commitment to each other.  You consider this person good enough for your younger brother or sister.  \n\nMarried and sexual romantic partners: Only when a relationship has stood the test of time and trust, does it develop to this level.\n\nHope this helps.

A friend is someone you can kick it with; have fun, run around with, laugh with, play jokes on, and generally spend time with. A friend is someone you like.\n\nA true friend is someone that you can trust to hold your secrets, someone you can cry in front of, someone who will be there for you any hour of the day or night. A true friend is someone you love.
