Now a days, a lot of people is passing thru the hard times. Hard times that sometimes will pull you down to the ground. And thru this times, you will be able to know who your true friends are. True friends that will go with you thru thick & thin. However, do you still find this type of friends? The friends who will stick to you thru thick & thin. The friend who will be with you during your crying moment. Do you still have a friend like this? Do you still have a true friend?

Yes I would definitely say that I have a true friend and I believe that I am also starting to make bonds similar to that one with my other really close friends. I think that it's important for us to try and stay friends with our best friends because they can help you so much through your troubled times and they can literally make any situation better. I have one true friend that I know I will never lose contact with because we have been through so much together and I've never met someone like him. He is one of the most unique individuals I have ever met and I cherish all my times with him as well as other my other friends. I pride myself on the relationships that I have between my family and friends rather then how much money I have or how nice the things I own are. I think we should all try to do that because in the end the people in your life are much more important then any money or possession could amount to.

I also have many friends but I have to say I have only one true friend. My fiance, No matter what the situation is he is always there for me and I for him. When I was having problems with an ex, he was there giving me strength and encouragement. He always seems to know how to make me laugh even when I am crying so hard I cant see nor breathe. I've been out of work for 7 months now which has depressed me beyond belief some days but he is always there cheering me on. When my teenage son acts up he is always there to give advice and remind me what a good parent does and what we were like as kids. It doesn't matter what the situation is he is always there to help and make me feel like a real person. So yes I do have a true friend and he will become my husband this October :).

My best friend and I have know each other for 18 years. She has been with me through thick and thin. There is nothing that I can't tell my best friend and no matter what happens I know that I can always count on her just like she knows that she can always count on me to be there for her. She was there for me when I met my first boyfriend, held me when I cried because we broke up and was there to help me pick up the pieces. She was there when I met my husband and watched me walk down the isle. We share secrets and jokes and sometimes talk for hours at a time. She was there for the birth of both of my daughters and was the first to visit me aside from my family while I was in the hospital. We have grown up together and over the years we have been through a lot together. I know that me and her will be friends forever and I have found that this is a very rare thing. There are only a few people out in the world today who will put others before themselves and she is one of them. I have never met anyone like her and I know that I never will because when God made her he broke the mold. I have a lot of friends but none as true as her. I only wish that more people could have a friend like her, if they did I am sure that the world would be a better place for it.

Yes. I have at least two friends I consider to be true friends. A couple of persons who are supposed to be my friend used me in the name of friendship. Today, it's not so easy to find a true friend. In fact one may never know a true friend until one finds oneself in a difficult situation. A person who sticks with one in times of crises is the true friend. Finally, the best way to have a true friend is for one to be a true friend first. I mean, lead by example. If you don't truly love your friend, be concerned about him or her, be able to correct him or her in love when you are convinced he or she is going astray; then you have failed on the scale of who should be described as a true friend. If you're not a true friend to others, don't expect them to be true to you; lead by example.

Hello, Since my good friend married to a guy, who own a nail salon. She is totally different from what I knew. She starts to look down at me, even the way she talks seem like I can't be like her or something... but trust me, I have everything on my own and never depend on someone at all. I can say, I am a medium class family and she is the same. But since everything change in her, she is not my truth friend any more..we are just friend friend... Last time, when she was asking me about my daily tips at work. I said, nothing much. and then she said, So your tips is just like a homeless money. Unbelievable, but I didn't say anything cuz I dont want to have any word fight with her or anyone at all.

To me, true friends are as precious as gold but really hard to come by. As the saying goes, when you laugh, the whole world laughs with you but when you cry, you cry alone. Nowadays, in this modern society where everyone is so busy with career and family, I guess there would not be much time to spend on making friends. I feel that once someone gets married, they would really focus on their family and do not put any importance on friends. They only meet friends occasionally for a cup of tea and chit chat and that's it. I do believe that true friendship occurs but chances for that are really rare in this modern society. To me, a true friend would be someone who is willing to stay by your side in good and also bad times. I do have some true friends while in college days but not now. My friends are all busy with their own families.

I have many friends but very less true or best friends. At the time of difficulty only some stand by you and help overcome the difficlty. After a incident it helped unmasking some people who didnt came for me whom i trusted.
