Yes true friendship exist,I do have many friends but only few are close to me when ever i am in worse situation.There should be understanding support,trust, communication and so on.True friendship can share likes and dislike,interests,pursuits and passion etc.It will also involves doing some thing for someone else while expecting nothing in return ...........like there is saying "FRIEND IN NEED IS FRIEND IN DEED".Now what i think is........ True friend is rare and it is very hard to find in this modern world ..........what you say?

Before I have a good and best friend, but they both cheated me out very large amount of money. Since I don't want that to happen to me again, I rarely have friends. Don't get me wrong though, I'm very nice with people but now, no more deep attachment. People can be cruel at times. Cruelty, I can sometimes accept but my entire family paying the price for the mistake I made for making those people good friends, no way Jose! Not anymore!

I think some people look for money rather than strong relationships or friendships. I sometimes wonder why people are like this and why they cannot be true friends, which is much more precious than money.

We have been best friends for twenty some years now.Why is everyone so gloomy in their discussions today its as if everyone has taken sour pills or something. I know there are lots of problems in our world but so what,there is also a lot of good in our world too. smile.

All kinds of relationships are based on the principle of give and take. It is just quite rare to find a relationship,free from expectations from either side. In this age stiff competition and growing consumerism human desires are rising to reach the height of the sky. It is unfortunate that many relationships once built on a commitment to share and sacrifice are quickly losing their strength and value. True friendship is a very ideal and value based concept.Thanks.

I never would class anyone of my friends as a best friend,i have friends which i call good friends and there are the other types of friends that you would call just friends as they are the ones that use you and stir rubbish up also the people you do not want to get involved with.

Hi ajithlal, I think this would be a sad world if all people were pretenders, pretending to be someone's friend just because they wanted something from them. Now, of course there are like that and we have to be able to decide who they are before we become friends with them. I hope this post doesn't mean that you don't have a best friend. My very best friend and I were on the telephone last week for hours. She lives in one state and I live in another. We don't get to talk that often, but when we do we make up for lost time. We were in high school together and have truly being best friends for what seems to be forever, and that will not change. We have never used our friendship to manipulate each other. True friendship can be found, you just have to weed out all wolves.

Yes I do have good friends and they're real people whom I call real good friends. We've been together through thick and thin, and now we all live in different countries but still keep communication regularly. Our friendship is not limited by time and space. My best friend is my husband. He's always there for me and I for him. Our relationship is not just husband -wife relationship. We share many good times together as friends. You are right to say that nowadays people make friendship if they want something.MANY but not MOST. There are still good-hearted people out there who are for real, who want to be friends with you not because thet want something from you. I hope you don't lose your hope in finding real friends nowadays. Even here @ myLot, they exist. I hope I answer your question. Cheers!

True friends do exist if you're true to yourself and true to the ones you call friends. You can have true friends if you respect, accept, be real to the ones you call friends. It's okay if you have personal issues with yourself, nobody's perfect anyway. However, there's a saying that goes "No man is an island" thus we need friends to make this world worth living.

I suppose you can say that friendship nowadays has become a commodity. But every once in a while you stumble onto a goldmine of a friend. As I did. I lost my dearest friend recently through cancer and I really miss her terribly a lot. We are the exact opposite of each other but we understood and respect each other.And I cried when I learned that at her last days, she talked about me. A friend, if we allow it to develop and blossom with an open mind and heart can enrich our lives. I suppose that is what friendship is supposed to be.
