A true friend is someone you can trust.. Someone who will tell you straight if you are doing something wrong.. Someone you can laugh with even in if you're at the lowest point of your life For me a friend is a sister/brother that fate forgot to give you..

A true friend is a person that you can go and talk to aswell as say what ever you want to them and they will never judge you from what you have said or done.The person who is a true friend is a person that you can rely on aswell as that you can trust with anything aswell as anything thatyou say or do.A true friend will never be two faced or stab you in the back and they will always be honest no matter what.

My definition of a true friend is someone that you can trust with something important and not worry. Someone that you go to when you need a little guidance on something.

There are many meanings out there of what a true friend is. Here is my definition of a true friend. The most important quality a true friend should have would be honesty. If your friend is not fully trustworthy, then you can have problems with them in the long run. They should be able to have your back and be straight with you without much hesitation. I also feel a that a true friend should be on the same level of intellect as you are or higher. Honestly, what can you truly gain or benefit from a friend who is less intelligent than you. In life you want to grow and learn from different experiences and people.

The one definition I like best: A true friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.

For me a true friend is the one who rants at you whenever you are wrong. Is there for you whenever you need company. Trustworthy and even though you've been apart and haven't talked for days, weeks, months or even years, the thought of your friendship hasn't changed at all :) I love my true friend :3

A true friend for me is someone i can trust to and would criticize me yet still love me after all my shortcomings. Someone whom i can call when i needed a shoulder to cry on. Will stand with me throughout the test of of time. Who will love for who i am and not for who she wanted me to be. Would understand me when i done wrong and will correct me even if it means hurting me,for all she cares is my welfare. Will guide me when everything goes wrong. Someone who will trust me as i do trusted her.
