how can regognize our friend?

I feel that in order for you to develop a genuine friendship with someone, you must really try to know your prospective friend. Try to see what he or she is truly made of, his/her character, his/her peculiarities, among other essential things, and try to see if your personalities are compatible for a true friendship to develop. I also feel that if one is to be your friend, the moment you see each other, you'll be able to immediately feel a certain sense of rapport or chemistry with that particular person. If you could easily reveal your true self to another person and you feel very much at ease in his/her presence, without ever tinkering with the silly idea of wearing a mask, then that person could perhaps qualify as your friend. Try to determine as well whether he or she is the type of person who's trustworthy as well as respectful and equally respectable. Trust, undeniably, is key in the success of any relationship. Friendship, thus, is no exception. In order to have a lasting genuine friendship, friends should be able to easily repose their trust on each other because they will be sharing the most private and intimate details of themselves to each other. Divulging your true self to others requires a great deal of trust and, thus, if such trust had already been established in a friendship, or any kind of relationship for that matter, it should not be broken. Respect is equally vital for a friendship to work. Without it, any relationship would easily crumble, since it is one of the essential things that lays the groundwork or foundation of a strong friendship. If you'll be able to find a true friend, who will fully respect and trust you for who you are, keep him or her with all your might, since true friends, I feel, are hard to come by, especially nowadays.
