What makes a good friend?

I think empathy makes a good friend. A good friend will try their best to understand where you are coming from, and try to relate, even if they don't agree. That's what can inspire trust, loyality, and honesty.

Endurance, longevity, honesty and willingness to listen. A friend is someone who does not judge, but who isn't afraid to tell you the truth even when they know it will hurt. A friend is there for you time after time. Many times a friend is your eyes and ears. When we hurt we depend on others to help us find our way out of the maze of life. If you are lucky you will have a handful or extremely lucky you will have one.

I think honesty, trust, reliability, caring and sharing makes for a good friend. They should always be there for you, through both the good and bad times, as indeed, you should be there for them. You laugh together, cry together, walk together, run together, talk together and play a big part in a friend's life. There has to be give and take, and unselfishness on both parts. That's my idea of good friends.

a friend in need is a good friend. a true friend would be someone who undersatnds u properly and gives a helping hand all the time.

As Shuuji's father said in Nobuta wo Produce, a good friend is someone who listens to you, no matter what or when. Like when you've killed someone and run to that person for help, he should listen to your whole story and only then call the police. ^^

The one quality that must be had is trust. If you don't trust someone, you won't want to share things with them, from thoughts to CDs. And if you can't trust someone to keep things private, then you don't tell them things, and then you are not friends. If you don't have trust, everything else is superfluous. Other good qualities to have are a shared sense of humor, that easy connection when you can talk for hours about nothing, loyalty--knowing they won't be talking about you behind your back, and generosity.

A good friend is always there for you, doesn't make fun of you and respect you for who you are. Someone who will keep in touch with you even though you seldom see each other.

Someone who is sincere, who can understand me, accept me the way I am. I would also look for maturity, and the ability to keep things in confidence if needed. I do not go for intimate friends who have a very large circle of friends. First, I need some personal attention, and I can promise the same as well. And, I am a person who has small circle of very reliable friends, so I wouldn't need me to be dragged to any big events where lots of people will need to socialise me. And I am happy that I have found a few worthy friends like that.

frenship is a chemistry between two persons whethere they fight o wad they stay together , n we cant figur out wad is the thing , or reason to bound dem so its mistry

a friend should be one who can take d challenges of his friend as if it happens to himself. he should be one who can understand atmost those things that his friend is facing with and try to share bad times more than his good times ....... he should be honest ,understandable kinda nature ,..... also a good sense of humour so that he can change d his friends hectic enviro. into good.

I think a Good Friend is who is there for you when you need him and also give you some space when you are with your GF. ;)

A good friend is someone who is caring, honest, dependable, trustworthy, loyal, compassionate, a good listener. You know has your back at all times and is there when the chips are down and when they are up. Someone who would never backstab or belittle you but upbuild and encourage you. Tell you like it is when you are wrong and admit when you are right. You can always pal around and share anything with not fearing it will be part of a gossip topic. You can trust basically with your life is when you know you have a GOOD friend.

I think a friend should be someone who will stick with you no matter what, like family and always be able to tell you when you're wrong, so that you can stay friends.

There are many characteristics which are essential to be a good friend. One of them, is to be a good listener. Almost everybody loves to talk about themselves, their experiences, their problems, their achievements, about the daily activities etc., so one gotta be a good listener. Anyone can notice it very clearly, we love to talk to the person who shows interest in our topics, our life.

Mostly same thoughts.... Simply telling, a precioius thing which you must not miss
