The love between friend's

I have been best friends with someone since 3rd grade. It has been 20 years since we have been in each other's life. We do not see each other often maybe a few times a year but we speak almost everyday. I am so thankful she is in my life. I don't know what I would do without her. I would be so empty, lost and alone if she was no longer my friend or if something happened to her. She is more like a sister to me and the only person I truly trust with my life because she knows all my secrets and loves me anyway lol We have both been through so much but have always been there for each other. How about you? Do you have a forever friend?

I also have a friend like that. I don't talk to her but I chat with her almost everyday. We have lots of things in common. And I never think of making her my lover. I'm sure she never thinks that too. We are too much open to each other. Thanks for sharing this. When I don't speak to her, I also feel empty. I will do anything for her.

Isn't it great to have someone who understands you? Someone who will help you through things or tell you when you are wrong. I can be honest with her at all times and that is something that most people can not say about their friends.

You also have a forever friend! I am glad I am not the only one because we are lucky. No one will be able to come between us no matter how much they try. Trust me cuz people have with us but they were not successful.

Yes, she knows my everything and I know her everything. Its great to have such friends. I have never lied her and she have never lied me I think. Its so great feeling when I talk with her. She understands me and I don't think anyone like that will come to my life except her. She is unique!

So far not yet. Some of people claimed me to their best friends, but all they ever do just bragging about how good they are, and want to show off. Treat me like an idiot or something. Innately, they are not a bad person, it was just they weren't so success with their lives, and they try to tell those tall tales about how good they were. Actually, They aren't that good.

I had "friends" like that before. They used to make fun of me or put me down to make themselves feel good. It used to make me feel bad but I allowed it to happen time and time again because I was a bit of a push over. I felt like I would be lonely without ANY friends so I dealt with it. But one day I had enough and stood up for myself. After that they did not do it anymore. But they are no longer my friends. Who needs enemies with friends like that!

Hi zukichucha. It is good that you have friend like that. Best friends are really hard to find, especially nowadays when back stabbing in able to gain something favorable is so rampant. For me, when i have met my wife, i knew it already that she will be the friend that I will treasure forever. In her, I have always confide my worries and secrets.

My husband is a best friend to but in a different way. Some times I feel like he does not give me constructive criticism or pay me much attention when I am trying to have a serious attention. This is why I feel this way about my forever friend. I know when I talk to her she is really listening and not just pretending.

No I don't have a friend like that anymore. Sooner or later they all stabbed me in the back. I have to admit if I look back these friends, this friendship was more one way. It was always me ready to help out, always me to call, to ask. One day I get tired of that and decided not to do so anymore and wait and see if they would contact me. Some did only if they were in high need again. I don't like to abused and quited with that. Since then I am way happier and never feel lonesome anymore. I am very happy with that. No waste of my good energy anymore. No worries about friends who don't deserve it and would never care about me. It think my forever friends are my children, no secrets and the eldest is 27 now. Be been through a lot together and know exactly, no matter where we are, if something is wrong with the other person.

I had friend like that. Those fake friends are no longer on my life either! There is a big difference between asking for help occasionally and taking advantage of someone. We both did the right thing in letting go of those "friends".

Yes I can say that I have a forever friend. Although we started out as friends only in HS. She was not in the same school I went in grade school, so I only met my bestfriend in HS. We have been through a lot too. Fights, not talking with each other but always around each other in college... we've met and had new friends. I am glad I still have her as friend eventhough we don't chat or see each other everyday.

I think such sincere friendship is possible very rarely. I have a lot of friends, but no friends are so close to my heart. Both of you deserve appreciations for Keeping such a close friendship for such a lengthy period of 20 years.

I have had many friends come and go. That is a part of life. But this friendship is like a rock and I am so glad we are friends.

hi zykichucha, I totally agree with you, the love between real friends is explicit...clearly defined and formulated...Your real friend will try to understand...be there at all times and fill be there for there for you doing your greatest and doing the not so great times...They will never judge you. I love my friends and there is such mutual caring and expression of love between us. They are always kind and genereous, they are honest enough to be able to tell you when they don't agree with. Real Friends are very hard to come by..have a great day andbe safe.

It is so true that good friends are hard to come by! This is why it is important for you to tell them how much you appreciate them and how much they mean to you! Don't wait until it is too late to tell them how much you love them.

That is very nice zukichucha, all of my gradeschool and high school friends have been all close friends of mine. We have this get together during school breaks and during the holidays. We all keep in touch as much as possible. We hae common interests but we have also our differences. and I our circle of friends have been tight for the past years. even if we go to different universities/colleges we always find ways to meet and bond with each other. playing basketball, going to the beach, playing video games, partying. they have been the best company and hopefully we will stay that way

That is great that you have a nice circle of friends. Life can be so harsh and cold that having a good support system is imperative. I hope you guys continue this friendship for years to come!
