Guys, I would like to know how many real friends do you have. Real friends in the sense that when a problem arises it should be there name that will be coming in front of you as a option for support and also like when something nice happens to you who else would be there in you joy. Obviously, in the second part, i.e., in the time of joy, you will find too many, it wont be easy to assess such a thing in that moment, but its pretty easy to assess real friend in times of sorrow. For me there will be only a few countable friends. What about you??

Great, you were at least able to identify a true friend. Quite often people make mistake with friends and real friends. Its all about understanding.

I have hundreds of acquaintances, I am friendly with them all, but I have no personal Best friend. My wife has many friends, and wonders whats wrong with me. I just don't feel the need to be (close) to anyone. There would be no percentage in it for me. I wouldn't dream of discussing a personal Problem with anyone. I will share with my wife,(buts that's a whole different story) I am happy most of the time, and never share it. When I'm sad, why would I want to inflict my trouble on someone else?

I wont say "its great" cause i have a different view on this. In such a case of yours, can you just tell me what is friendship for you? cause, I believe that everyone will come across some situations where they need direction and in such a situation a true friend wont point his finger to the wrong direction. But as I said my view is different. It depends from person to person. All the best.

I have always wanted to have close friends but during my life I have come across some experiences where I was not able to sustain a close relationship for too long. I move around a lot with my family. We seldom had the chance to cultivate any close friendships like I would wish to. I have moved away from my home of about eight years last year and I now live in a more rural area. There are some good people here and I have just recently started a friendship with a great lady in my neighborhood. Friendship is a very important thing to a lot of people. I find it important to sustain them and keep them going so as to not lose touch with people. I think it just matters the quality of your friendship not necessarily how many friends that you have.

Yup, you are right, quality does matter, in your case your moving around from place to place has created problems for you to sustain your friendship. I know that when there is a gap of time or distance, its quite obvious that people forget about there friends or could say like, we won't be coming in their thoughts quite often, but its not too hard to sustain such friendship, because I have done that, but for that we will have to compromise some time to spend for them and that is the factor which we all are not able to do. After all, its a busy life. :-)

I do have a lot of frens but they are all on line frenz not real frens as time passes by frens do go away and a little will stay and share the same passion. But not all will be a best frens. I remember when I was in college I did have a good fren but after we graduate we were on our ways living the life we had chosed. But we do contact each other but meeting in person is difficult as time and distance plays a role. If you have a good fren make sure you'll be on his side when in sorrow and vice versa.

In my opinion,the real friend is few,but once you get 1,is so lucky.when you meet a big problem,a real friiend will touch your shoulder,and say do not worry ,everthing goes well.when you do something wrong,she/he will tell you ,you are wrong.

I have some friends whom I consider real friends. But at the time of any problem, I don't think any name will cross my mind. That's because they are my old friends and it'll be too hard for them to reach me, we have got separated by physical distances. But still, they ARE my friends!!
