Making friends sure is something that we would love to do. It's great to have lots of friends. But it's better to keep few true friends than a million acquaintances. Trust is a major factor of friendship but having no trust with a friend is like being friends with a ghost, you always doubt its existence. So in keeping friends, it's good to give trust not because it's a need but because when you consider that person as a friend, trust is essential in keeping the friendship.

Getting more and more are quite not much difficult but keeping those friends with us all the time is a heavy task. A simple friend becomes a close one if he likes us and love our ways. For this a trusted relationship should be maintained other the relations can be beaked without any reasons.

That s very true thewonderboy. It's very frustrating to see years of friendship vanish right before our own eyes. Some people don't value friendship a lot. All they care about is their happiness. Some leave if they don't benefit from a person anymore. Of course, it would hurt if someone you trust suddenly manifests that he/she isn't really interested with your friendship, just the benefits he/she gets from you. It's just a blessing that there still are good people that are not like that.

I had lots of friends before, I could make everyone to be my friend whom I met before, especially in high school. But I cut down the contact with most of them, and dont want to make new friends any more. When you pay always much more than you gain, you will also lose passsion for making new friends.

Hi, I like to make friends. But after some experiences we can recognize who are good and who are bad. then we can decide about keeping friendship with that particular is right or wrong. Trust is the important factor of friendship. there should be good understanding between friends.
