i was just honestly wondering what all of you consider a good friend...for me its going to have to be someone that is always there for you whenever you need them, who doesn't care what you look like or whatever because they want to be your friend for you and not what you can do for them or their reputations or something like that...i mean i have a lot of different ideas on what i consider a good friend and a lot of them is what others consider a good friend so we all kind of consider it the same thing...but i was just wondering what all of the people on mylot considered a good friend....thanks for reading my discussion and hopefully you will respond!

What makes my best friend, my best friend is honesty. We are honest with each other. We have lots of fun. We both are very simple minded, and it really keeps our friendship light and frothy. But when one of us has a tradegy, we are there. With all of our understanding, sympathy, empathy, and once again, our honesty. A good friend doesn't back stab, insult, or jealousy isn't a factor. Some people are more fortunate in other ways than others, and there is no need for jealousy. There is no room for it.

A good friend to me is someone who listens to me when I need an ear. Someone who is there and someone who knows my problems and offers help and advice instead of judging me from whatever situation I have ended up in. I just want to be able to trust the person I call a friend. Someone who doesn't spread my business but keeps it confidential. Overall, just someone I can bond with.

For me, a good friend is someone who knows your sorrows even before you express it, who paint a smile on your face even when your mood is off, who is here both in happiness and sadness. Finally, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

good friends mean we can share our thoughts and ideas. even we don't know each other in personally, can give advice. sometimes when we feel lonely, just log in mylot and write down your things then release our tension.
