Friends are everywhere and they are categorized unknowingly in our brain and heart. But true friends are rare species. so how do we pinpoint true friends to let us know which friend is worth keeping for?

True friend is someone that was already in your heart and mind, even he/she is far away stil they are your friend, absence didn't mean they are no longer your friend. True friends someone you don't need to entertain because they are your family feel at home always with them, you can give maximum tolerance and understanding to their limitations and didn't expect anything from them in return of your kindness to them.. That is vice versa what will be your mood should be their mood or they can adopt / adjust each others mood because no one is created same personality. That what true friends are for better and for worse,in good times and bad times , as long as everything is right.. If wrong, then a true friend is brave enough to say that his friend is wrong even though he will get angry with you a true friend will stand righteousness for the good of a friend.

I guess when I am young, my friends are real, they are being black and white, what you see is what you get. But as I grow older, I've realized that there are fake people now.. Seldom can you find a real friend.. But, one of the benchmark to know a real and true friend is when you are in need.. When you are in trouble and down, you will know who will stand by you and who will dump you down.. Those people through thick and thin are still with you no matter what are indeed to be praised! They are so real, so down-to-earth, so loyal.. Indeed, a friend in need is a friend indeed!

For me a true friend is someone you are comfortable with,someone I don't need to take care always when we're together because I just want her to fell at home with me., someone who accept and understand your limitations, that not all the time you are there for her. someone who are open to tell you if you are wrong not afraid to correct and reprimand you .Who gives w/o counting what she give. Who adjust when you are moody, don't complain when you are high spirited, who just go on when I'm boasting and who have the initiatives to know what I like and dislikes. Someone who will tell me that I Don't look good with my new hairstyle, dress, and have fake eyelash lol.

For me, we can identify true friends when we are in a tough situation. When they stay where they are and extend their help no matter what, that means they are true. If they can't extend their help because they lack financially, they can still prove that they're real when they encourage us. Giving their support is also important. Some friends leave us when we are in need. I guess, they are not true friends at all. They are not for keeps. Happy myLotting!

Well it is very hard to find true friends nowadays. I have my parents in law who are not worth keeping then when will friends be so trustworthy. My husbands parents treat him like crap and he gets disturbed by that. Today no one is for no one. You can be very lucky if you really have a true friend. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

True friends are those who'll accept your whole self. They are those who will correct you when you are wrong and affirm if you do good. They support during your ups and downs. They are listeners and are willing to understand you. Being a true friend to others makes you find the truest friends:)

True friends are those for whom you feel no hesitation to share your happiness as well as sad. True friend is one who praises you at right time and also criticizes at right time.
