Many people have told me that there is not true friends in this world. Everybody is your friend because he wants something from you and he expects that you'll give him what he wants. Do you think that it is true? Actually I have no friends and I don't want to have because everybody is a liar in the awful world.

Liars are not friends and friends are not liars. Treat the liar as a liar and a friend as a friend.

I don't agree. The liars are too many. I am sorry that I say it but it is the whole truth.

Your conviction about true friendship is quite right. True friendship is rarely found in this world. But you should be having at least a chosen few to be your close associates. It is needed for a healthy mind.

Yes, but I would like to have true frinds and to share everything with them in the same way as they share with me.

The person says that there is no true friend in the world that means he/she has never been a true friend of someone. Thats why he/she does not believe on others. First we should try to be a good friend of someone. Someone will automatically be our true friend. To be a true friend is not a easy task. We have take care of all things. The matter of giving and receiving in friendship do not come. There should not be any business in this relation otherwise it may expoile. Finding and being a true friend is really difficult task. But can be. Please try first to be a good friend of someone, later you will be rewarded with a true friend.

Yes, but I have ever been true friend. Everybody disappoints me. I am sorry that it is like it but maybe the world is too cruel for me...

I do have so many friends here in my place and around the world too. In myLot I have friends, best ones, and dearest ones. Friendship is a treasure. Next to my family I value friendship the most and that's why I added you as my friend. Thank you for asking.

I believe that most people will rise to your expectations. If you expect lies and betrayal you'll get them MORE than you do already. Finding true friends has a lot to do with the kind of people you choose to befriend, too. Getting to know people doesn't make you "friends," it makes you "acquaintances." It can take a long time to decide if an acquaintance is trustworthy enough to be a friend. It's a two way street, too. Eventually we all get back what we've given out. So, don't give up!! True friends may be hard to find, but once you do find them they are very precious. Just don't jump in too soon. Give it time!

P.S. One of my favorite quotes that I attach to my emails is: "We are all Angels with one wing, we can only fly by embracing one another." -- Lucien de Crescenzo See, I'd rather fly than walk! LOL!

I used to believe in friendship very much when I was a teenager, but as time goes by, I realized that the fiendship is so shadow sometimes, you can't see other's heart, you never really know what he is thinking. Maybe he'll hurt at the very time you need help from him. Or he said words behind your back. Everything is possibile. We have to protect ourselves, don't trust others deeply. The only thing you truely have is yourself.

Thank you sharing. I agree with you. I was disappointed very much and I don't trust many people now. Maybe it is not right but life taught me to live like it. Life is cruel...

Maybe I am not one of those fortunate few who have life-long friends. I am in such a stage of my life, that I no longer have friends. That doesn’t mean I don’t believe in friendship, but I think its like all those ideologies which are to be adhered to in one’s youth and to be looked at with skepticism as one grows older and life unfolds its true colours before one’s eyes. Family, profession and practicality, take their toll on friendship and bonding with friends (maybe just one friend) is not such a priority anymore. We meet people, form acquaintances, have colleagues…but not friends!

You see friend, this entire world goes on the process of 'Give and Take'. This is the law of Nature. In order to take something, we must give something first. If we seek the grace of God, we must have to offer prayers for it regularly. If we seek the respect of our juniors, we must show real love and well care for them. Also if we seek the blessing of superiors, we must regard them properly. So unless we sacrifice something unconditionally for our friends we can never develop real friendship. Anyway, liers may be there as a part of people but I believe that a lier can be converted to a true and real friend if treated well with unconditional help and friendship! Please just try it as an experiment and find the sure result of having good friendship. Thanks.

People who says that there's no true friend in this world might not found a true friend. But it doens't mean that true friend doesn't exist in this world. I do believe that there's so many good people who could be a good friend. Of course, there's also many people who just take benefit from other. We need to be really careful to pick our friends. To find a true friend we need to be open and believe those who deserve. Life would be much better if we have someone to share with.
