A good friend will stick to you no matter what, will understand you in the worst situation, will not hide something from you though it will hurt you, the most honest person in your life, a place where you can be the real you and judge you just the same. Friends are hard to find in this kind of world we are in but if you found one, treasure it.

Yes sometimes its difficult to say who is a good friend and how to define a good friend. But what is a definition good for when you can feel who is good friend. It`s simple good friend stands by you when you feel worst. Good friend knows almost everything about you if not everything. Good friend won`t disappoint you. But I think you have good friend so don`t think about definition and have a fun with your friend:)

Well, there is this old saying that goes - "A friend in need is a friend indeed". That pretty summarizes what a good friend will do. People who just hang around for fun are definately not a good friend at all. Those who stick around to give you support and help in times of trouble are true friends.

A good friend is surely not someone who depends on you. He loves you the way you are and finds no need to judge you. He is not someone who flatters you either. He is respectful and open. He sees you the way you are without the need to make you any better. He will be there for you at times where you really need help. And you will not use him unless you really need help. Even if you have no chance to see each other for a long period of time you will feel a close connection anyway.

For me good friend is someone honest enough to tell you that he will not die for you or will no be there when you are in trouble. Its just my opinion. Being honest is way better than pretending that you are with him tru ups and downs.

I think that definition gets clearer as we get older. My definition has changed quite a bit over the years. Today, I would say it is someone you can truly be yourself around and know they accept you for who you are. It is someone who always stands by you and accepts your flaws. I think good friends are the ones we have few of, but are lucky to have!

It is hard to define a good friend though. Anyone who can turn into an enemy and stab your back behind. So, I don't have an universal definition for a good friend. I just can tell you, be alert, and be aware of anyone around you. That is me, after a disaster stabbed by someone on my back.

It depends on a person on how he/she defines a GOOD friend but most likely it is on the top list that someone you could TRUST. It all by means that you are sure they won't betray you, they will be there in good times and bad times, accept who you are despite of the flaws and most of the time they are loyal and honest in you. Aside from that they are the ones that will be happy if you achieved something and willing to help you when you are down. A good friend wouldn't do something if they are the opposite of what I have mentioned above.

A good friend is someone who stay at your side in times of laughter and in sorrow, who can share you your dreams, who can help you get up when you fall. someone who can keep secrets and someone you can trust.

As for me a good friend is someone who would be willing to watch you back, will stick with you through the good and the bad times. They are the ones who will be happy with your achievements and will help you out in times of need. To me, they are also the ones who would help you get back on track when you somehow get lost. They will let you know when you're being ba and nasty but won't condemn you. Hmmm... What else do I miss out? For now, that would be it for me. :)
