I have many friends but there are only 8-10 friend whom I can call you my TRUE FRIENDS..Friends are important in life,!A true friend is someone that you not only feel you can be yourself around, but that encourages you..from my personal experience I can tell you that It is very difficult to make or find true friends...not only friends but true love and other relationships...... what do you think?

It definitley is not easy as there are so many supposed friends. May I add that a true friend is a person that can care and love us unconditionally. This reminds of something I was told as a child that the only friend indeed is the green one you can retain in your pocket.

I agree it's going to take a lot to consider someone my true friend, who I share my secrets with.

You can say that again finding a true find is a job alright it's like finding old dinosaur bones in a dessert sometimes haha .. Really. I have good friends but I think I don't really have true true friends if I did I'm pretty sure they will keep connected to me at all times if not call or write me to see how I'm doing mostly call I think. Be happy at least you have 8-10 haha it's funny how you are not all that sure about it haha at least you know the minimum is in fact 8 I will say humm maybe 1 maybe lol. Haha I'm not sure either. Sometimes being a true friend you have to make that point for you pbe and be call that part in someone relationship lol. But what you describe is in fact a true friend.. To me once you get out of school your true friend numbers start dying because people grow up and have lives and have ins to worry about and people to worry having kids to worry about. Then they make new fiends at work and they replace them with you and all that sort of stuff is what kills it. But when your in school you meet all diffent types of people groups of people from so many backgrounds which makes like interesting and finding a friend more interesting.. You don't see peolpe having a website of finding friend finder .com site haha more like a match .com site haha.. But yeah

Just like you, I got lot of friends and I definitely treat them as my true friends. Our friendship is more than 20 years for we've established our group in early 80s. But time can't be basis for a strong relationship. We're still in good terms, all of us, though mostly are out of the country with their own families. As time goes, people changes as well as priorities. But if they happened to come home, we surely spend time together.But what I realized is that, being with these friends, there is really someone that will standout to be a true friend. She also have a family but just like the saying " a true friend is someone you can turn to at the time you needed them most". She''s always there, no matter what. Her friendship is not only for me but she extends it to other members of my family. She's really a true friend. We did have a very nice relationship. And it is not easy to find someone like her, I'm probably just lucky to have her.

I believe that true friends are something that is few and far between in our lives. When I think about all of the people that I know, I am only able to come up with perhaps five people that I would consider to be my true friends. One of these people I've known since I was a very young girl. The next person is someone that I've known since I was in college and we've been very close since then. The last two people that are alive are people that I've not known for a very long time, but they are people that I give my trust to none the less.

Yes! Finding a true friend is not an easy task. We can have as many as friends with whom we can just chat or roam around and kill time. But true friend is one with whom we can share anything and everything. He gives all his ear to listen to you and won't try to preach anything as a solution. He knows all about you and accept you in total, even your negative qualities. You can feel free along with him and that warm comfort says, a true friendship. Sometimes you need not speak a lot and silent presence is enough.

I agree. Periodically we collect too many friends with whom we cannot really vibe well - may be they are good quality - but may be I become too busy and end up on a wrong foot with them. Whatever be the reason, we start with a presumption that this person is going to be the best ever friend, and it might end up going nowhere, whereas you find another person who is so inconspicuous in your life, and suddenly you realize he or she has always been there for you through thick and thin. I thank god for giving me friends like that. I thank god for making me realize who my true friends are in time so that I can cherish them, and be with them as long as god allows me. :)

To be a true friend all you have to do is be your yourself. The same can go for any relationship you are having. Be accepted for who and what you are. Accept others for who and what they are as well. If you are honest and caring and committed any friendship or relationship will be easy to begin.

Everything starts with a choice. It's a decision, easy or not, that one has to take. A good choice is worth believing in it and stay to make it work. I don't think there is much difference in choosing a friend or a relationship.

Hi dear, A friend and true friend has different meaning although by feature all are same. The intimacy and interaction with true friends are genuine and the purity towards and intimate friend will be more and really attached. A price less dedication and hearty confidence will keep each other and will remain forever. The same is true for relationships also. A true friendship may lead to error free relationships also. There are so many cases we can around. A true friend will be there at all times and will be ready for anything and above all, will be good wisher and guide also for better living. But in general friends are common and if we have frequent acquaintance and relations can lead to friendship, but may hold just relations only nothing more than that. I think everyone may have a few good friend or intimate friend as they may keep same characteristics or with same level of thinking. Hope all your good friends are always be good with you. Regards, Thank-s
