who is a better friend ?

of course the one who shows your mistake is the better friend. I can't trust the one who always praises me ,and this will make me feel weird. I think you already have your choice ,don't you? trust me ~

A better friend is a person who care for u, but he is not from u r family. A person who is ready share ur pain,scolds u like u r dad,cares like ur mom, tease like sister,irritates like u r brother,loves u more than ur lover

A better friend is one who does both. Who applauds and praises when you do something commendable. who lifts you when you are down and wary and makes you feel wanted and loved. On the other hand, a better friend also shows your mistakes and helps you in correcting them. He wants to be the first one to point out your follies before others notice them and gain a point to pull you down. A better friend is an anchor whose sole aim is to keep you in place, thoroughly secured, by doing whatever it takes. Criticism or praise.

a friend who's honest enough to show us our mistakes

Its a simple call. Those who help you in become a beter person is definately a true friends who is not enjoying your comfort for their hidden agendas

the best friends should tell about our mistakes

Of course a friend that shows and reminds me of my mistakes and help me in correcting it. They are more trustworthy than those people who always praise you. I believe and trust those people that are concern with my actions.

a better friend is both. anyone can tell you as honestly if you do look good, and the better friend can also tell you if something is wrong. you will know it anyways, if you have been together for the longest time.
