I need a friend.........

Hey my thinking is a true friend will listen right or wrong and encourage you in the right direction. If it's not simple for you a friend will understand and love you anyway.

I wish I knew what to tell you but I feel the same way also. I feel like no one ever understands or wants to listen to a word that I say, so I just leave it alone anymore.

All you can do is speak your mind and hope that the other person will listen. I have been the ears and shoulder for many different people and I made a new friend earlier this year who I didn't hesitate to call when I was a little upset with things going on in my family. If they are a true friend, it doesn't matter what you say, they will listen to you and if they feel they can offer guidance, they will do that. Other times, all they can do is listen and hope that your venting was helped by getting it off your chest. I have one friend who just today told me that he is so comfortable with me because he knows he can talk to me and that if there is something I have to say, I will say it bluntly, but not to hurt him, but because it needs to be said.

what friends do? they share to each other,experiences,knowledges,even money,you have to show your sincerity first,open your heart,don't make others dobting or annoying what you said ,speak with honest and confidence.

I think that a true friend will listen you what you said ,happiness or sadness,however happens, will encourage you in the right direction and help you.but you will open your mind to them . hope you happy!

A true friend will sit there and listen to you, regardless of what you are saying. Honestly we cant always express ourselves nicely, we are all human we get angry and upset.. That does not mean that it is wrong, it just means we are unhappy with something.. I dont think you sound insensitive you are just sharing your feelings. Sometimes you may think some one is going to react a certain way or do a certain thing if you talk about something.. If you do not their reactions, speak up or nothing will change.. The only person you can control is you, and if you are in a situation that you dont like or dont agree with then its up to you to do something to change it. Opening up to a true friend, it will not matter what you say or how you say it. If the person really know you and understands you then if your venting just to get something off your chest, then they should understand that.. if not then that person is not a true friend.. Friends help each other through the good times and the bad, regardless of what the situation is, which should go both ways.
