Once in a blue moon do you really meet a true friend. Most people say they have tons of friends, but I think that true friends are few and far between. I have had very few true friends in my life, and every time I do, they seem to go off and do other things with their life, and we eventually loose touch. Do you know the true value of true friends? Do you have true friends in your life? What have some of your friends done for you? Would you trust them with your life? Are they like brothers or sisters to you?

True and real friends are always like a great treasure. We must be very lucky to have them. Our true friends are like our shadow and they will follow us anytime even it is good or bad. This real friends always stand for us and do anything for our sake. It is very hard to determine and explain the value of a real friend. In this modern days, it is really hard to see a true and real friend. But still some people are existing in this sort. But we must search them hard. I have some good friends in my life, they are always supporting me and help me whenever i need it from them. In the same way, i am helping them whenever they require it from me. This kind of mutual help are quite common in true friendship. A real and true friend never expect anything from his friend and do a lot of favor for his sake. In fact the activity of this kind of real friends will create a great impact in our mind and we are ready to do any favor for them without asking them. I have one best friend in this sort and always i consider him as my own brother. But few years back he betrayed and back stabbed me. After that incident, i lost my faith with real friends and always keep certain distance from all my friends. We must be very careful with our friends. If you have a good friend from your childhood till today and he is loyal to you, then never give up him for any cause.

Yes backstabbing is not a sign of a true friend. A true friend would not want to harm you in any way.

I have known my best friend since second grade. She is like a member of my family. We tell each other everything. She has helped me financially. Her brother cuts my hair. We would do anything for each other.

I have some friends. I am not really social. out of all my friends I do have one true best friend. I do trust her as I do my own sisters. I totally believe that true friends are hard to find.

If you know that you have a true friend then you are very lucky, because not everybody is able to say that in their lives. I have several good friends, and I know that they're always going to be there for me. If you have a friend, then your friendship can fade over time, but if you have a true friend then you should know that you could always go to them if you were in trouble no matter how long it had been since you saw them. A true friend would open their arms and let you run into them no matter how much time had passed, and I think that it is a fantastic thing to know.

That is a fantastic thing to know and have, and not everyone has that, so indeed you should feel very lucky if you do.

Its ok to have friends but not so many of them can't b trusted! See I have a best friend I known her over 15 yrs now n I consider her n her my as mines cuz we been thru a lot n her family has been there for me.. we have our arguements but that doesn't stop our friendhip it jus gets stronger! Friends is someone who knows one another who neva threw yur life out there who kept yur life wit theirs. I trust my bestfriend she neva crossed me wrong.

You don't necessary have to know a friend your whole life for them to be a true friend.

I too had some true and trusted friends, they are really amazing. Will be helpful in any time...care for me. I personally suggest to have trusted friends. Select the best trusted friends in your life. True friend is more important than your life partner. So select best friends and have them till your life ends. Even some of the things you feel uncomfortable to share with your family but can easily share with your best trusted friends!

Sure, everyone don't have as many friends as they try to show, it's so sad. I don't try to show, I know my true friends, those who I don't talk often but I know I could call and get help for example you know, those who'd be there for me.

Having one true friend would be better then having a million that are not. That is the value of a true friend.

There are friends that i would trust them with my life. It is these people whom i confide with. Tell them my secrets, my worries and my happiness. True value of a friend is when they are there when you need them and you'd do the same. Not in a harassing annoying way of course. When you're down, there's someone who would help you rise up again.These are the people that we should call true friends. I have a few best friends who are guys, and also best friends who are girls. I connect with them whenever i can. Catching up and do some activities together.
