when someone is a friend? For me it is when someone makes me feel good about myself..just the way I am. and when and If I need an attitude adjustment, they tell me about it.. with &hearts love. How about you . . how do you know when some is your friend?

You will know that when someone ask you how you manage to type a 'heart'(love) shape in your sentences ? Just like what i am doing now. My friend, are you using a special type pad for your p/c that has different symbol for different word, i'm curious how you manage to do that, as i saw several of your response contained that small 'heart' sign. In real life, i will know someone is my friend or not whenever one is concerned about my safety, my well being, my health and call me or write me once a while for chat or hello .

I think a friendship is just like a relationship, there has to be give and take. In life we come upon many people we "think" are friends till we realize that there is NO give, just take. They have to listen to you and have to help you in your time of need just as you would do it for them. They have to accept you as you are , flaws and all and not try to change you. I know someone is my friend when they take the time to ask me how I am, how I am doing.

virtual, you last words . .. are so crucial to any relationship and I marvel at the fact that so few "friends" ever bother to really ask that . .and really listen for the answer. So easy yet so hard But as always I thank you and look forward to your thoughts about stuff Happy Lotting to you!

I believe that what you said is correct. A true friend is one who is not jealous and cares about you no matter what. Someone who can be honest even at the hardest time yet can do it with loving and caring. A friend is someone you can trust. Someone who would never deceive you, and one who would never stab you in the back. Unfortunately I have had friends in the past that stabbed me in the back, that is a very painful thing when someone who claims to be your friend does that to you.

ladym . . I hope you told those "friends" where to go! Trust is the all important factor in any relationship . .and if that is missing then there really isnt much of a relationship there. . . say say keep your friends close . .but your enemies closer! Thanks for sharing, Lotting to you!

A true friend is someone you couldn't bear to lose, even if you only see each other occasionally because you live far apart. A true friend will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear; she'll always be totally honest, even if she risks the friendship by doing so. A true friend will not stop being your friend for a frivolous reason, in fact she will remain your friend through thick and thin, no matter what. I have a friend like that, and I feel truly blessed. I hope she does, too.

yes Sandra 1952, as I have heard it said. .. a friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future and accepts you just the way you are. I bet she does! Happy Lotting to you!

Friendship becomes stressed if you try to extract happiness out of others. If we try to squeeze happiness out of our friend and if our friend tries to squeeze happiness out of us, the friendship wont last ever. Instead, we should use friendship as a means of expressing our happiness

A true friend accepts you for who you are and doesn't try to change you into someone you're not. A true friend will tell you if you have food stuck between your teeth. A true friend will tell you, kindly, if you're about to make a big mistake or if you're making a complete fool of yourself. A true friend laughs with you, cries with you and helps you plot your ugly revenge against the man who just hurt you. A true friend will let you vent if you need to...even if it's not a convenient time for her.
