I have a friend who doesn't want to be called BEST FRIEND. For her BEST may sometimes be the WORST. So we discussed about Bestfriends and true friends. you may have only 1 BEST friend but you can have many true friends. True friends will stay with you through thick and thin. Do you have bestfriend? or true friends?

Hi Errielle, yes, I have several best and true friends :) For me BEST does not it's the only one, as a matter of fact I have 3 best Girl Friends, and about 7 true friends, in which the best friends are included. I have many acquaintances though. Mind you I only have 2 true friends living in the same country that I am residing. All the others are spread around the world, and no matter how little we see eachother - we stay in touch and provide help, or give advice to one another by phone, email, and chatting online. I love the friends I am having and know I can always count on them and they on me and my help :) TheFortunes

That's true. And you'll only know that person is a true friend when he's always there with you (physically or not) through the ups and downs of life.

I have both true and best friends. what differentiate them is the level of closeness between us.

I have both best friends and true friends. Those true friends i have are those who have stayed with me through thick and thin. While the best friend is still consider as a true friend, she never failed to lend me an ear whenever i had issues in my life i couldn't bear. For me,my best friends are the best at some point in my life. There are times that my best friend's away and i couldn't reach her so I depend on those whom i consider my true friends. I think the definition of best friend and true friend varies. It's situational, i should say. Whether you have a best friend or a true friend, you know deep inside who are real friends.

yeah. People have different views about friendship. And I guess this is the reason why I posted this discussion. I want to know how people view friends. And not only that, I want to see the views coming from different parts of the world!!! Thanks to mylot@1
