are you a good friend?

May 24, 2011 3:27am CST
everyday we meet different persons that will soon become our friends. we have circle of friends in times of trouble or problem arise we can call them anytime. i bet among the the number of your friends less than 5% of them will be there for you to help you out when you needed them so badly. this comes to my mind as to how should we know if that person we consider is a real friend through ups and downs?

I am a very good friend. It takes alot for someone to be my friend anymore though because I have been wronged so many times by people who say they are my friend but then they stab me in my back.

I think I am a good friend, but sometimes I can be selfish and mean, if provoked- just sometimes. Yes, it is hard to know who your true friends are- and I am glad to have some that will really help me in times of trouble.

I'd like to think I am and even thought I found someone who felt the same about people being so shallow only to find that she has turned away from me. I think it is more to her being in an abusive relationship and that her husband convinced her I am a negative influence when all I did was to listen to her when she needed an ear.. So, yeah, I do think I am a good friend, because even though she no longer talks to me, I still won't betray her trust with all the things she told me and I will be here for her if she ever needs me.

You can't judge a person to be your good friend not soon. You always come to know about that when you are in a problem. That is only the time when you come to know which friend helped you and which runs away. So judgement is not so easier as we think.
