Do you think True Friends are hard to find?

I have lots of friends from school, at home and in the office. Though it is just casual but I consider them true friends as long as they dont do any harm to me. For me first impressions last, If I dont like the person's act towards me then I dont feel that we're compatible as friends. But in reality I dont find it difficult to find true friends. How about you?

I think yes, its difficult to find true friends. Sometimes we believe someone to be a true friend and it is only with time we come to know they are not true. Also some people tend to change after they become popular or rich. They would not be the same. So, its merely a matter of time by which we can tell whether a friend is true or not.

yes it is true that it is very hard to find good friends, those who find true friends are very lucky. true friends??? true friends does not mean that if someone does not harm you then he is a true friend of yours but a sincere & true friend is who, who can walk with you in the hours that are critical for you. if you wana check your friends sincerity you should see when ever you are in hour of need who comes for you....

You are right. We live now in a society of dogs who are willing to eat other dogs just to survive. Selfish people are in abundance everywhere. We live in a world not we dreamed of.

I think it is hard to find true friend and the people find it are lucky to me. You have found some so yoy are lucky. true friend can be judged after a while going through many hursh condition with that friend and passing thru some days when you both have opposite opinion to each other, if you find still its possible to call that friend a friend, i think then its our true friend for sure.I have many friends who are also very good and nice with me for long but in that sense true frind is really hard to find.

hi... in our life we always wanted to be heard... finding a friend is one person that can be an instrument for us to be heard but.. TRUE FRIEND is hard to find... in my opinion in 10 friends that you have I can say that you are very lucky to have 1 or 2... and good if you do not have a hard time finding a true friend....enjoy every moment you have with this true friend and cherished all that moment because you are very lucky to have one...

a true friend is someone who supports you in what ever your life decision is whether wrong or right, that person is there to let you fall and be there if you need him to lift you up.a friend will let you be for you to learn and just be there to guide you.YOur true friend will say something that you do not want to hear and most often interpret it as hurting you. a true friend wil tell you the truth straight in your face because they do not want you to get hurt.

I think I understand you friend, but what we are saying we are saying here is you should be careful when it comes to friendship because the one you think is good might just be the one who will make you have a bitter experience. Some will not harm you fine, but when some of them have the opportunity to hurt you, they wont relent. When we say true friends, we are actually referring to those who love you just the way you are and not because of what you can offer and also, those who will never leave you inspite of your consider whether you are down financially, sickness or anything. They are the people we call good friends, not people that will run away from you when they see that things aren't going well with you instead of staying to help come up with a solution that will help you out. They are very expensive to get, believe me. Thanks

I have four true friends. They may say things I do not want to hear but they are my true friends. I do have a lot of other friend, but I have four friends I spend a lot of time with. We have lunch with one day a week. We also try to have dinner once a week with. They where here last night for dinner. We barberqued and swam in my pool. It is still very hot here in Central CA.

Ah, maybe you are right, even with a lot of friends, but when you face difficult times, not necessarily someone to help you, perhaps the real friend of Adversity can see the truth, perhaps sometimes in our lives some accidents are a good thing, so at least let us know what I have real friends.

Oh yes, they are. True friends are those who doesn't forget what you have shared. Being far away isn't an excuse for them to not let you know that they are still there for you. I thought I had found a true friend when I was in college. We were almost inseparable but when we graduated and she had to move to the US to live with her husband, it seemed she had forgotten already about me. She'll contact me maybe twice a year but I believe if you really consider a person you're true friend, you'll always be there.It doesn't matter if we have the internet to communicate. I tried to maintain that communication between us, but it seemed she had no time for me at all.

True friends are friends that are not "user-friendly". I have lots of friends from all walks of life but they just consider me as a "friend with benefit". Its really hard to find those "true friends" that you can call and run to even if its 4 o'clock in the morning. "No man is an island" but at the end of the day, you are all by yourself. I have 1 or 2 friends that I consider really "true".

you said if you dont like the person's act wowards to the you dont feel that you are compatible as friends. But in my opinion, no one is perfect, and it's inevitable that sometime he may offend you. As a true friends of him you have to be tolerant.
