I guess that what I expect from my best friend is what I can give them back - it works both ways. I expect them to care for me, share time with me and help me, instead of just turning away and calling me only when they need me, as many people do today, sadly (I have experienced this many times and this is definitely not true friendship). I expect them to let me know by doing good things that I am not just a person, but in some way a part of their life. =) I don't really expect any financial help from any friends, if I'm going through a rough patch, my friends will help me if they want to, and if not, I expected nothing more from them. Finances, I believe should really be a seperate issue and if one friend doesn't give money to another, this shouldn't interfere with their relationship. I don't expect my best friend to "deal" with my personal problems, but I expect them to hear me out. I expect them to show concern, but not necessarily go out there and do something amazing that will fix all my problems. This dependency on other people can sometimes be foolish, as it can cause often misunderstandings with others and I think that it should be up to me to solve my own problems. =P

In this world you can really trust only a few persons who really understand you,feel for you.The concept of best friend for me that he is a person with whom you can share both your happy and sad moments,to whom you frankly say your problems and obviously one who can be with you when others have turned their back on you.When you choose somebody as your best friend you do have a lots of expectations from that person.But,at times when they don't fulfill any of your expectations,it really very hurting.So choose carefully.

I have a best friend for more than 23 years and we had been like real sisters. I expect that we will be best friends until we grow older. She had been the person whom I tell all my problems and the happy things that happened to me and I expect to have the same as time goes by. Even though we are far from each other now, since she lives abroad for the past 3 years, I know that I can always count on her.

Basically what i expect of myself, to be there when they need me... for them to be there when i need them. No, doesn't have to be financial rather just someone to hear you out and give an honest opinion. Tell you not what you want to hear rather what you need to hear.

I expect my best friend to just be there to support whether it be a good time in your life or a bad. I don't expect my friend to financially bail me out anytime i need it. It's definently not a requirement. I expect my friend to be open and honest with me even if it's gonna hurt my feelings. As a best friend we are just there for each other in the ways we can. in order for it to be a true friendship it has to wrok both was and you have to be able to confide in each other and not feel judgement for your faults. I feel it's even harder to find a true friend then a spouse
