what makes you a real friend?

true friends are hard to find. friends can give you honest answers and will not hesitate to tell you if you are being a hypocrite to yourself.

i remember one of my classmate get jealous seeing our classmate with their close friends and asked "where can i find a real friend who will be in my side every time i need someone?" then one of our classmate told her "you can't find one because you should not search for them, they just appear in you life" and now i realized that they're right and yes its hard to find a real friend and its great to have one since eventhough you hurt them still they'll be by your side whenever and wherever you need them and whatever happens in good or bad times

How true this is. Each true friend I have I did not search for. They just came into my life at different times and accepted me for who I am.

a true friend can accept you for what you are not for what you have.. i just realized that when i was in college.. since i have lots of friends because i like to party and treat the people around me then when i was in college and i have nothing some of my so called friends turn they back from me and thats i realized not all of them are my real friends

One thing that makes me a real friend is I am always ready to help my friends, I am always there for them in times of problems hit on them. I always try to make them happy.

my bestfriend told me that im the only person who knows her better than anyone else. thats because she cannot hide anything from me and ive been always honest to tell her whenever shes not being true to herself. everytime i say that to her, she will just tell me that "ok im not a good liar". hehe

I am my own true friend,and the only best friend I've ever had. I am very pleased with my friendship. I can't imagine being as intimate with anyone else, as I am with myself. No other person could be as honest,or as completely trustworthy. I often take my life in my hands, without the slightest worry!(something that is not recommended to do with another) I am my own best friend, and so far this true friend has never let me down!

i am a real friend. i have that confidence in me. i love my friend with all my heart. i can tell any of my sad or happy incidents to her, likewise she also shares with me. i think u should be a listener if u want to be a true friend, also a good adviser in appropriate times.

I believe a true friend is honest, supportive and just all around loves you for you. They don't judge you or expect unrealistic things from you. They know who you are and that is ok with them. They are there in time of need as well as in the good times.

Honesty and Loyalty.. My best friend of 10 years.. has never turned his back on me- even though we dont live near each other anymore.. He has ALWAYS believed I could reach the stars and never stops encouraging me to succeed.. and to be fair..I must be a good friend, as our friendship only gets stronger..
