is your so called best friend a real bestfriend?

i just want this one to be the topic.. basically based on my experience, i had my so called bestfriend when i was a gradeschooler.. this is the one i trust among my friends.. we grew up together, he really knows my secret almost everything.. we lost in touch during highchool and we got connected again in college.. this is the only person i treasured for about 14 years and i never expected that something will be done to me.. when i finished college., i worked in manila which is the capital of my country and worked there.. i encountered a lot of trials just to get the job thinking that if i get the job i can able to help him to get it too.. when i finally enjoying the job, i went back to my home town and very excited to see him and tell him the good news.. and also to bring him in the company where i am in .. since he also grew up having few things just like me.. when i came home, a bad news was brought to me.. he betrayed me.. he told everyone in town that i am not working here in manila, i was told that he advertised that i am just a loser who was trying to live in wealth and a social climber.. that i betrayed someone about money and did this and that.. etc.. at first i was so surprised and i didnt believe such speculations.. but i did something to prove if its true.. then i have proven it.. the years we shared together had all gone.. coz that is not the right person that must be treasured.. now i met someone in college and we have something in common.. fortunately my parents know his family.. and we are bestfriends for 6 years now and still counting.. for me being together for a long time is not the basis of having a besfriend.. it is always the friendship you are sharing and the trust, love and care that you are giving to each other.. now i can say that he is the great friend i ever had and the best of the best..

I know what its like to think someone is your bestfriend and you think you know them and they stabb you where it hurts. had a bestfriend for 10 years we did everything together everyday , she knew everything about me, and i thought i knew everything about her. Well she meets a guy and decides i was just not good enough to hang out with anymore and basic blew me off, I am over it now but i do know the feeling. at least you found a better friend then the first thats a plus.

i can't say that she is a real bestfriend.. because if she is a real bestfriend she shouldnt leave you that way.. in the first place if she met someone she like and she love.. she doesnt need to leave someone between you and his guy.. in the first place,she can have both of you at the same time.. i do hope that you will fine the real bestfriend for you and you will experience how happy having someone who is not connected to you in blood, but like a great sister to you..

you know i also have a circle of friends but no matter how many friends you have, you still have the very best, the one that who knows the real you.. the one that is willing to comfort you during the hardtimes of your life.. the first one who is willing to fight for you when you are already taken advantage by others, the one who is willing to help you carry the burden of your agonies.. the person who is not connected you in blood but the one who is willing to stand up and perform your duties if you cant handle it anymore.. that is the real bestfriend..

it is the most serious disaster that i have done.i am generally able to find out the real nature of people. but i was wrong this time. the so called best friend used to act very nice when he needed help. then he cheated me big time.

Yes. I can say this because My friend always helped me a lot whenever i was in a need of someone. He never gave me any chance to even ask for his help. I don't know why he is doing all this. But i know he is there for me forever.

actually i call only 2 people in this world as my best true friends and they are really my best friends. fortunately for me, i never had any problem with both of them. though i am not in contact too often with one of them, she is still my real best friend. the only thing that bothers me is that i never get to spend enough time with them. so sad.
