true friends are hard to find. it is like there are a lot of people you meet and you become acquaintance with them... but there are only people you could call your true friends. so how did you find your true friends???

You really don't find good friends you have people that you Know and do alot of things with and then you bond and become best friends.A good friend is someone who will listen to you and you can turn to for advice and will tell you exactly how it is and not try to sugar coat it.I have alot of friends that I get along with and others that I care deeply about but I will be friends with anybody because that is my nature.

true friends are hard to find, i have a couple of friends who i met through my husband, they were his friends, but the last "friend" i made on my own just wanted to be my friend to close to my husband, then she slept with him and still tried to be my "friend"

Yeah, true friends are hard to find but I think if you will be just yourself when dealing with an acquaintance or to your friends then surely that person will be fair to treat you the same way. I am grateful that I have true friends whom I met during my elementary, secondary and college days and even if we are far away from each other we have still communication through call, text and email.

So true! real friends are like precious stones that's so rare that's why they are prized/valued so much. Well, they say that to find a good one, be a good one to! But sometimes, even if you do your part, they just don't reciprocate back. Anyway, I think to find real friends you first have to earn their trust by of course, if they tell you something confidential, be sure that it won't come out, but the most effective way I think, is to always be there most especially at his/her most trying times because as they say, true friends are the ones who will stand by you in times of droght. So when you've been with her/him during those times, I see no reason why he/she will not consider you and eventually be a real friend to you.=)

with our sincere mind...we can naturally attract true friends to us..if our mind and heart is not clearn or sincere..we will get wat we deserve..in short our friends really reflect who we are...so if u got a wrong friend it is not that friend's fault..but cosider it as ur own mistake. it is healthy.

I think that the best way to find a real friend is to be one. Contribute something wonderful to the community/world, and people will love you for it, and want to repay you. For all the world's problems, there are still alot of fine people out there, everywhere...

True Friends - True Friends
It is a lot more difficult to find 1 friends compared to find 1000 enemies... And you can say that you're lucky, if you have 1 true friend more in a whole one year... You can't find true friends... True friends are like blessing that've been given to you...

wel i dont think taht you have to find real frinds because they can be easily distinguished from the rest of this meaning full world, all you have to do is to just keep in touch with your friends

Usually if you still have people in your life from your childhood, that's your best bet. When your adult, you have to weed people out. Some are good for going to clubs, some are good for shopping, some just for phone talk. Then one day, you might find that special someone, that you can share everything with. But they have to earn it. It's not instant!

Real friend !? Hmm ... Is very hard to find a real friend. Everybody want something for you and when you give you he living. And you can cut another "real friend" to your list :(

It's just that you hit it off well with some people. Even good friendships con't always last.

We shall have to develop all those qualities in ourselves which we want in our friends. If we prove ourselves true and real friends to others, others will also respond in the same way mostly. Do good have good. It is better to change ourselves first before thinking of changing the society. Thus it is better to develop those qualities in ourselves first which we are looking in others. How is that? This is what I feel.

well true friends are like diamonds which shine forever. the best way to judge anyones crednetials is an impasse,difficult situation. in good time every one might seem gr8 frnd to u but it is difficult time which distinguish frnds. false frnds just like autumna leaves cast away themselves frm u

it's true that it's hard to find real friends especially nowadays, some people spend a lifetime but had no luck finding one. I believe that if you wanted to find frue good friend BE ONE!

true friends can not be found in just a short period of time.. but through good times or bad times.. and if your friend will always be there with you.. then you found a true friend.. goodluck and happy looking.
