in general, i think i am a fairly good friend. i do as much as i can for my friends although there are times when i just could not be there for them. there are also sporadic times when i am too lazy to be available for them. but i often wondered what if i am somebody else, would i want to be friends with me? most of the time, my answer is yes what about you? would you like to be friends with you?

On a good day I would like to be friends with myself as I would bend over backwards to do things etc. On a bad day I am moody so I would n't want ot be my freind, but overall I would like to be friends with myself. I think its a bit like the saying, in able to love you must be able to love yourself so to before you are able to make friends with other people you must be able to be freinds with yourself

for me, being good to others will start from yourself..i think i should start to become a good friend to myself, because if i cant be a good friend to myself, how can i be a good friend to others?.. after all, it will reflect in my actions towards my friends if i'm a good one or not, and its only other person who can really see who are you when you are with others, for there are things you seem not to notice even if you're around other people..

Hello, Rainegurl. I would want to be friends with myself. I think I am an interesting person to meet. I mean, I am always surprising people in real life by the way I act. When they first see me, they think one thing. But then, as they know me, they find out that I am completely different. In a good way, of course. And I am quite simple and easy to hang out with, so there would be no problem in becoming a friend with me. It is fun to respond to something like this. I am putting myself as a third person, watching my own movements and actions. And I am starting to like my way of being! Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I think that I would like to be friends with myself. Considering that I feel I am a pretty good friend to begin with and make friends quite easily. I feel that I am a dependable and reliable person and someone that anyone can talk to if they want to. I will listen to what someone has to say especially in times of trouble. I am the type of person who will keep a promise and be there if I say I will.

Even though you might be your toughest critic, it is a bit much to expect people to be that introspective--and then to be very honest about their findings. The older I get I find that I am a better friend. I try to be very good to my friends. I try to truly get to know them so I can be the friend that they need, not the friend I think they need. It would be very hard for me to be my own friend since I am extremely private and reserved. It would be challenging to say the least, and then I don't know if I would be so willing to trust someone that tried to be my friend on the basis of being completely interested in my well-being. It would seem too good to be true. But yes, it would be nice to have a friend like me.
