Yes there are times that I am beign abused, but when it happens to me... I rather lose that friend especially if he/she can't help me in times of need. As a cliche' goes... "It takes two to tango" so our life should be give and take.

Hahaha that made me laugh out loud! Is it hard to be with friends with benefits? How about if they abuse you, that is hard though! Have a nice day to you!

I try to be a good friend. I listen to my friends, take their problems seriously, and try to give what I have. I believe in the old saying of "I'd give you the shirt off my back" sort of friendship. If you're my friend I'll defend you to the end. However, I do have limits, and when those lines are crossed I break off the friendship abruptly. I don't give second chances. However, that said, if you are my friend you'll be well friended within my means and limits. Namaste-Anora

Well, I am not a perfect person, but I am a good friend to all of my friends. If they need me, I help them in any ways I can. If they need a companion, I am there. If they have problems, I am there to give them advices and others.

Hi taki_takaishi, what is important your there and being you to them. Seldom you can see a real friend. I treasure my friends, even though I know that they will not be there all the time. Friends do come and go, what is important once upon a time you were there standing in front of them and share happy thoughts! Have a nice day to you!

Well not all the time I would also be with my friends, it's just natural and normal being alone. As long that you can be a good friend to your friends that counts a lot. No man is an island! Have a nice day to you! Keep on smiling!

I try to be, but no one is perfect of course. I try to listen and give advice when asked, but I'm usually so busy that we rarely hang out, except for on the weekends when I don't work. *sigh*. I try to be, and I hope my friends know that!

Yes you said it right no one is perfect I agree to that. There is always a right time with friends,family, and yourself. But what is most important just being good to your self, being there and reaching out. Well if there really a true friend they will understand you more. Anyway have a nice day to you!

I have always tried to do my best, and to always be there for those who need me, but at the end of the day only the results of my efforts can be the judge of my friendship. I hope I have always done all that I can to help my friends in the best possibly way.

Hi Aquilis, everyone of us is not perfect, it's just up to us to be a real person to our friends. I really like your response that the results of your efforts can be judge by them. What matters most is you have done your part to them being a real friend and what your are to them. Anyway have a nice day to you!
